Heart Rate Zones Explained:
📊 Zone 1 (50-60%): This is where you’ll be for a casual walk. You’re not getting a ton of aerobic adaptations here, but it’s great for hitting your daily activity goals.
Zone 2 (60-70%): This is the zone for true aerobic training. This is a good target for your long runs.
📈 Zone 3 (70-80%): For the average person, lactate threshold falls in this zone. Well trained aerobic athletes may push LT up closer to 85% though. Regardless, this is a moderate intensity zone for more mid distance runs.
Zone 4 (80-90%): This tends to be fairly anaerobic. We can do longer intervals in this zone. (Ex: 3 mins hard run: 3 minute walk)
🏃🏽♂️ Zone 5 (90-100%): This is very high intensity. This is where we will be for short duration HIIT. (Ex: 25 seconds incline run 1:35 Rest)
We’ll discuss how to distribute your training between zones tomorrow.
