Usually by HR but increasingly by Power (which is more responsive to elevation changes, wind etc)

@allthingsultrarunning 3 жыл бұрын

Hello, there is a slight glitch on the formulas. To calculate the zones you’ll need to add back the RHR after doing the percentage. As it is explained at the moment may be very misleading.

Can't customise the heart rate zones on my watch so I find it's a little off. I can run along having a conversation with someone and it's saying I'm just in zone 4. Still a fairly good indicator but I find listening to my body is best.

I bought my first Garmin about 4 months ago and have been somewhat frustrated that my watch would tell me I was overreaching, and my HR would be 95% in zone 5 seemingly regardless of my pace. After watching this video I checked my watch and it was set to % max HR, with a default max HR of 162. I changed it to HRR, and set my actual max HR to 190, and my resting HR to 57. Now when I go on a long run, my heart rate is mostly in Zones 3 and 4, which is what I'd expect. So...thank you!

Your true hr max is probably higher then the 220-age estimate, 15% of ppl have more then 10 beats higher. You can very well have 210 max, for example. If you are using hr RESERVE, aerobic zone is 60-70%, anything 80%+ is hard unsustainable effort for most people. Best is to get it measured, like they correctly say in the video. Without measuring, best you can do is to judge by ability to speak. Easy speaking, sentences = aerobic or lower. Several words = threshold. 1-2 words = max effort.

Very clear and helpful. I’ve been monitoring heart rate for a long time but only recently started taking the zones seriously as a way of avoiding overtraining. I think it’s worth mentioning that I have consistently found that when I am very fit it is much harder ( almost impossible) to get my heart up to the same maximum as it reaches when I am unfit. I believe this is not uncommon. I spoke to an expert who said this comes down to two factors: as you get fitter you can increase your stroke volume so you provide more oxygen to the muscles at the same heart rate, and then the oxygen supplied by your heart is no longer the limiting factor so you reach a point where your muscles are using oxygen as fast as they can before you reach your theoretical heart rate max.

Can we have an episode on MAFF, 80/20 and other low heart rate regimes? - MAFF/Phil Maffetone talks about runners training their aerobic systems and avoid running at an intensity/HR that uses the anaerobic system. I think the teams take on this would be interesting

@lxrose Жыл бұрын

I don't think Phil Maffetone says you cannot run in the anaerob zone, but most of your runs should be in your MAF target zone. Even if you only do MAF training, you can improve significantly as a runner.

@christopherbrand5360 3 жыл бұрын

Great presentation of this material! I use a combination of HR, power (foot pod), and RPE to manage my training. For HR zones I find that using the lactate threshold heart rate is more practically accurate - it is certainly more relevant for establishing training intensities. There are several good ways to establish this and none of them are as painful as a proper max HR test. I have found that Garmin’s LT test is pretty good (aligns well with other tests) and there is a built-in option to use the lactate threshold HR (LTHR) to establish zones. The most important zones for training are Zones 1 & 2 and Zone 4. Spending 80-90% of training time in Z1/2 and 10% in Z4 is good for long-term development.

Thanks, useful to confirm my understanding. I’ve been using HR zones for a while now, or at least been paying attention to them. I have my zones set up correctly using resting and maximum (not lab tested). I have found over the last few weeks that my HR has been much higher than it was previously for similar types of runs and training sessions and that has been a point of concern. I did get a bit obsessed with running almost daily due to lockdown frustration! After doing a bit of research prior to seeing this I concluded that I have either been doing too much, am stressed (work is a source of this!) or that I have been neglecting training my aerobic system. Reluctantly I have backed off and am now doing about 20m a week instead of 35+ and have tried to incorporate disciplined easy (Z2) runs to work more on the aerobic side. After today’s momo session I note HR is still getting higher than it used to for the same sort of pace. Given that my perceived effort feels hard too I believe the chest HR monitor is okay so I guess I still need to recover further. I say all of this in case there is anyone else out there who has had or is having a similar experience.

One advantage of the Garmin HRM Pro strap is that includes the functionality of the Running Dynamics Pod (which I used to use.) Running Dynamics provides more accurate measurements of Ground Contact Time & Balance, stride length, cadence, vertical oscillation, etc.. As I run alone and don't have a trainer, these measurements give me insight into my running form.

Then I did an all out 5km and at the end my Garmin asked if I wanted to reset my HR zones, I said yes and it did. They are now within two beats of what my paper calculated MAF zones! Go Garmin!!

Just wanted to share this. I used a chest strap monitor from Polar and i found it was very "spiked" at some point, over 220 bpm. So the advice Polar gave me was simply to spin the strap so the sensor will sit on my back. It worked perfectly. The spikes (due to static) were gone and it picked up my HR just fine. I am sure they have sorted all this out by now. But should someone still get this problem try and move the sensor to you back.

You can do something similar with wrist-based sensors - for some people it works better on the inside or the outside of the wrist. I don't think it's static, more likely the veins under the skin, but it seems to have a similar effect.

Years ago I used to train with a Polar HRM and I noticed that as more neighbors installed invisible fences to keep their pets in the yard, I would experience more chest strap reading spikes at the 220 mark--electrical interference??? It got so frustrating I stopped. I now use a Garmin with the wrist sensor but would like to eventually try the Garmin strap and see how it works in those neighborhoods.

This has come at a very opportune time for me. I am 58 but my heartrate can go as hight as 178 if I push it and my resting heart rate is 46. That's quite a range really and I was worrying about my max given that 220 - age gives me a max of 162 which I can hit or even exceed (167 today) on an easy run whilst going slightly uphill. I might do a stress test to get a clearer figure for max now. Thank you. On a separate note: on January 22nd 2020 I started C25K for the fourth time. This time I got through and on January 22nd 2021 I ran 15k. 27 years ago I could run a marathon but life and injuries have intervened to my detriment. Now I am thinking of another marathon. Oh, and I am registered blind which makes it more "interesting" trying to train when I have to train alone.

@lxrose Жыл бұрын

I love the HRR approach, because it considers the different rest heart rates too. If we just take the maximum HR into account, then a runner sleeping with a rest HR of 50 would train at around 20-30% intensity. I would only modify the formulae with the rest HR measured when you stand still, because that belongs to 0 speed.

@iggalan 3 жыл бұрын

Good video as always 👍 . I want to emphasize that getting your max heart rate is *very* difficult, you won't get it from some intervals at max efforts with no planning at all. You need to prepare ahead, rest the day before or do a recovery run, make sure that you rested well the day you do this test, warm up properly, go somewhere you can run without doing sharp turns and that allows you to run at whatever pace you need to reach uninterrupted. Anyway I got an approximate number for me when I went to a lab to make sure that my heart is healthy to take the training, so I did an effort test plus ultrasound of the heart. Once you cross 40 I highly recommend doing it to make sure that you can train safely.

@@mikewilson0 The test I did was aimed at assessing the heart's overall health not max performance, I got up to 187 bpm, whereas in intervals I have reached 195 bpm (using a chest strap) with short sustained intervals at 192 bpm. In a more focused fitness test you're sure to hit your max, its a hard test, it ramps up in speed very rapidly. Anyway if you're carefully preparing an interval session you can get very close to your max.

Polar running programs are mostly based on HR but to make it work propper You have to messure Your HR precisely. I’ve tried to aply them with HRmax calculated from my age and ... I was mosty walking during running sessions.

There is a lot of stuff about running at a low HR which I do a lot, one thing I battle with is getting high into zone 4 or even touching zone 5. What’s a good workout to do to help myself getting into zone 5 please, or just being able to run longer at a high HR for longer? Background: 31 years old, fairly fit, run between 30-50k a week and cycle roughly 2 hours a week. I can’t get above 172bpm, and even this feels like I’m going to pop.

YEEES!! Been waiting for this topic since forever. Thanks for the video once again, TRC!! :D :D P.S: running in Zone 2 constantly and wanting to go to the higher Zones (for upping intensity) is quite a challenge. Feels like going snail pace, but it's very useful for improvement. P.P.S: how does one recover one's fitness after succumbing to long injury and mental recovery? it's quite a heavy thing for me to recover from. The lowest point was when I felt my legs very noodley like I was running a marathon, while in fact I was only running for only 1-3 Km after my recovery :( :(

That's awesome - we're glad you've found today's video helpful! My advice re your recovery is to just take things slow. Try building your distance and speed very gradually and set yourself small, manageable goals each week. The strength in your legs will return faster than you realise. You can also try incorporating some strength training each week which will help prevent injury going forward. Hope this helps and good luck!

@PlasmaDrone I'm currently in the same boat, 8 weeks of "NO sports" :'( but I see a positive side: when you start from Zero (again) with a Heart Rate sensor you will literally see the steady progress. 100% in HR Zones 1/2 (later on 80% HR Zone 1/2 and 20% in Speedwork/Hill Work Zones 4/5). Once a week I ran a 6km /4ml track at constant 150 BPM and saw the average speed gradually going up while Zone1/2 never felt like wrecking one self (I'm 42 yo). Keeping heat rate consistent shows the effects of weather in speed (summer heat!!!, headwinds), terrain (hills, sand, mud) and stressing influences (Lack of sleep, incoming illness, family or job issues) very well. Your speed will go down. But your heart will thank you! Best of luck.

Can you do a video about how to come back to running after injuries? I love to run but I injured my hamstring over 2 years ago now and every time I seem to be getting back into it my hamstring starts to hurt again. It has been very frustrating and I’m tempted to give up and say my body just isn’t meant for running. For some context I am 18.

If I’m doing the 80/20 training method, should I do my low intensity runs around the zone 1 - zone 2 boundary?

@narrowboatlongpod4176 3 жыл бұрын

I use ECG gel to wet the chest strap electrodes. Also, a Lactate Threshold Test is a lot less painful/dangerous that a full out HRMax test (and can be used directly in the Garmin world). HR training is only useful if you establish the zones via a test. My HRMax is 30bpm faster than the age formula would suggest.

Great video, thank you. What is your take on the chest strap heart monitors that pair with your watch? I've been hearing good things about it. But logically thinking, with all that radiation, and bluetooth rays going and working to and fro around your body, with one of them right on top of your heart, is it really "not" dangerous from a help perspective? Anyone?

@davidbristoll195 Жыл бұрын

Really good vhdeo (and great to see you at the Running Show :) ). Garmin Connect only seems to be calculating zones on % of max heart rate only, and isn't using HRR. As a result, the zones are wider. Is the method Garmin is now using considered less accurate?

@donniefeathermanjr2835 2 жыл бұрын

Great explanation! I'm having trouble training and keeping my zone training consistent. If I do an "easy" run I literally have to walk. I ran 7 miles fairly easy even though my heart rate was maintained in zone 4 (avg 143 bpm). I live in Colorado(around 5000' elevation), 210lbs, and fairly healthy, this is for training to run a marathon. Started training at the beginning of December 2021. Any advice? To me zone 4 is my "easy" run. I also use the stationary bike to keep a heart raze zone of 3 just so I can get that training in for that zone.

Been watching some videos about this and, it surprised me to see lots of people say Zone 2 is optimal and what you should be doing most of your running at. Maybe it's just me, but I barely even touch Zone 2. I mix up the regular running exercises: long run, recovery(slow) run, tempo and speed sessions. Usually it's around 50-50 Zone 3-4, a bit of Zone 5 in speed and tempo runs.

It's scientifically proven that slower running equals faster race times. There's a video on 80/20 running which will explain it all. It definitely works!

@mirekbuzek740 3 жыл бұрын

I have the same "problem". For me, it is almost impossible to run constantly in Zone 2 in easy runs simply because I live in a location where flat surface probably doesnt exist :) wherever i run, its either uphill or downhill. And when going up the hill, absolutely no chance in keeping HR in Zone 2, no matter what pace i would go for. It is frustrating on one side, but on the other side - it then feels so nice to run some race on a flat course. And hills are of course great for strength training, so there are some benefits as well :)

@johnhall9895 3 жыл бұрын

Sometimes to keep in zone 2 you have to walk or jog very slowly. It's frustrating but if you want to train with heart rate zones then it is necessary.

FYI, I scheduled a V02 max test at my local hospital. It’s $110 USD. My only thought behind doing it is….if I’m going to go through all this effort and training while using heart as a gage of progress I might as well start with an accurate number. I also know it will change over time.

What advice on RHR and Max HR app inputs could you give to anyone taking a beta-blocker? I'm 52 and have been taking one for over ten years now and my RHR is around 40bpm. My highest recorded heart rate was around 170bpm. I think the beta-blocker is reducing my RHR/Max HR by maybe 15-20bpm. Do I need to take this into consideration?
