Jon.

Not strictly power, but how do you go about setting heart rate zones?

I've got a reasonably accurate FTHR and Max Heart Rate. Initially I've been using Joe Friel's zones, but Zone 1 felt too wide (up to 81% of FTHR), and everything else squashed in, so I've gone back to what Strava was setting based on a max heart rate.

Any recommendations on numbers? or is it best to adjust figures as fitness changes based on perceived exertion?

How did you get a reasonable fthr reading out of interest? I really struggle with knowing what my Bpm is actually telling me

Training Peaks will automatically register a 20min or 60min max, and if its a new high, send an email.

I ignored the last one.

pushed 4bpm over FTHR for 90 mins on a climbing race, and felt like a zombie for days.

So when the notificsation came i ignored it.
