Hi Ed,
HR has always been a funny one for me as there is so many formulas out there. My Garmin watch is currently setup as default on %HRR, with the max HR and threshold set on auto. Max 169, threshold 152. RH 57 . According to my watch this is my zones.
Z1: 113-123, Z2: 124-134, Z3: 135-146, Z4:147-157, Z5:157 -
So 133 is my upper Z2.
I have been using runalyse on my computer to track and give me bit more stats on runs and there my zones are setup also %HRR according to the Coggan formula.
Z1: -126, Z2: 127-142, Z3:143-153, Z4:154-164, Z5:165 -
There 133 is lower Z2
Please advise if I should set Garmin watch HR on %Max HR or leave on %HRR? Please advise or any other suggestions wrt HR and zones.
