Heart Rate Zones

Setting the heart rate zone is very similar to setting speed or pace zones. See page 14.

Many runners and other athletes are using heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness.

A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
