Heartrate Zones

Stephanie Weldon

Good morning!

Looking at my week 2 of training and I see z1-z4 work/heartrate.  I've never trained using heart rate monitor.   I will get one today…it's not a problem.  But is there some test I need to do to set up these zones?  is there a thread or page I need to read to set this up?  sorry to sound like an triathlon imbecile.  Thanks!

Stephanie, yes....testing! The HRM is a great investment, I promise! You can load up a testing week on the My Plan page (http://members.endurancenation.us/TrainingPlan.aspx) using the Move / Change plan buttons and then you'll have all the info you'll need. I say test during the week this week with a goal of getting back to your regularly scheduled program by the weekend!
