If you enter the HRC stage below 5 mph, the speed you enter will be the maximum speed of your workout. If you like to walk at a maximum speed of 3.8 mph, you should enter HRC at 3.8 mph.
If you enter the HRC stage above 5 mph, you will have an additional 1 mph of speed. If you enter HRC at 6 mph, your maximum attainable speed in the HRC stage will be 7 mph.
If at any time you enter the HRC stage with incline, you will have an additional 4% of incline available in the HRC stage. If you enter the HRC stage at 1% incline, your maximum attainable incline will be 5%.
If you do not enter the HRC stage with incline, no incline will be available during the HRC stage of your workout. Only speed will be used to control your heart rate.
