  • Heart rates.
    How do I calculate zones when I've got a lower heart rate because genetics.

  • I tend to do % of heart rate reserve [HRR]

    My resting is around 40, max is around 175.
    So reserve is max - resting

    Zone 1 could be up to resting + 60% of hrr, I.e. 0-121 (40+135*0.6)
    Then 60-70% for zone 2, so 122-135
    Etc

    There are a handful of ways to pick zones, but I've found that seems to make sense for me when you have slightly lower or higher rates than normal
