Train in the right zone

Heart-rate zones help balance endurance, tempo, and high-intensity work.

Assumptions

Uses a selected max HR formula and calculates zones from % max HR or heart-rate reserve when chosen.

Resting HR improves accuracy

If you know your resting heart rate, the Karvonen method adjusts zones to your personal baseline.
