HEART RATE HILLTM
This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default tar- get heart rate is calculated as 80% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals:
•The first hill brings the heart rate to 70% of HRmax.
•The second hill increases the rate to 75% of HRmax.
•The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80% of HRmax. The valley is always defined as 65% of HRmax.
