I Learned More About My Health Wearing An Oura Ring During The England Match Than I Did From Any Workout

Senior Health Editor Ally Head's Oura Ring 5 Review: Testing during the England vs Argentina match.

If you know me, you'll know that I have something of a love-hate relationship with fitness trackers. On the one hand, I wear my Garmin religiously for marathon training and races, and love the amount of granular detail it provides about my training abilities, recovery, and sleep quality.

I'm a staunch advocate for listening to our bodies—it's one of our greatest tools—and have personally found some trackers override my own intuition, making me trust a readiness score on a screen (even with 8+ hours of sleep, good nutrition, and ample workout time, mine never seem to leave the red) over my own body.
