These numbers only represent training zones for running. I've not tested my Max Heart Rate (MHR) for the other disciplines. To get my MHR I ran a warmup followed by a short sprint, followed by a recovery jog and yet another sprint. I should have paid more attention to the time spent sprinting and recovering as I'm not sure I pushed myself long enough. I also think I might have ran too fast; my lungs might have given out before my heart reached its max. I plan to do this test a couple more times in order to get more accurate numbers.
Target heart-rate = % intensity * heart-rate reserve + resting heart-rate
Resting HR: 50
Running Max: 180
HR reserve: 130
| 02 | LVT-a | LVT-b | LVT-c | VO2 | LAC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70% | 75% | 80% | 92% | 95% | 98% |
| 141 | 148 | 154 | 170 | 174 | 178 |
LVT-b(80%) is considered "Lactate Threshold" beyond which lie much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Apparently, this is the zone in which an athlete can apply maximum effort for long periods of time without going insane.
