Why should you train with a heart rate monitor?

Interetingly, I watched the highlights of the Ironman 70.3 and out of the top 5 males it seemed as is three (including the winner) didn't wear a HRM. The top female also went without. There must be merit in not using a HRM

 

But do they wear a HRM when they are training?

A lot of people don't like to race with a HRM in case it "interferes" with their race plan....

I know a few very fast Ironmen. They all use HRM and Power in training and exclusively use TrainingPeaks with a coach. All race without HRM. Feedback is that they know their bodies so well after all that training it offers no value in a race. But definitely used in training.
