Heart Rate Training Zones

Enter your age: Go

Zone 150-64% MaxHR		Recovery Zone to be in when doing recovery rides - helps to flush muscles between more intense training sessions.
Zone 265-74% MaxHR		Aerobic base Use this zone to build up your aerobic base fitness.
Zone 375-84% MaxHR		Aerobic endurance Builds an increase in muscle glycogen storage. 'No mans land' too fast for aerobic base building, too slow for raising VO2MAX and lactate threshold.
Zone 485-91% MaxHR		Anaerobic Strength endurance training level. Typically used in interval training.
Zone 592-100% MaxHR		VO2 Max Increases VO2MAX. Short very intense intervals.

*Max HR calculation is based on Tanaka H, Monahan K. D, Seals D. R., (2001) Age-predicted maximal heart rate revisited.
MaxHR = 208 - 0.7 * Age.
