Heart Rate Zones
Setting the heart rate zone is very
similar to setting speed or pace
zones. See
Many runners and other athletes are
using heart rate zones to measure and
increase their cardiovascular strength
and improve their level of fitness.
A heart rate zone is a set range of
heartbeats per minute. The five
commonly accepted heart rate zones
are numbered from 1 to 5 according
to increasing intensity. Generally,
heart rate zones are calculated based
on percentages of your maximum
heart rate.
