These are running based (so cycling and swimming will be different). VO2 Max is 42, which is okay (not stellar, but stellar wasn&#8217;t expected, to be honest). Max Heart Rate was 195 (!!!), Anerobic Threshold was 191, which puts the heart rate training zones at:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Z1<\/strong> 157-168<br \/>\n<strong>Z2<\/strong> 168-179<br \/>\n<strong>Z3<\/strong> 179-191<br \/>\n<strong>Z4<\/strong> 191-195<br \/>\n<strong>Z5<\/strong> 195-???<\/p>\n<p>Compare this with the standard formula (220-age), where MHR would be 185, a full 10 beats lower than the tested number. <\/p>\n<p>I suspect this means on average I&#8217;ve been training in Z1-Z2 almost exclusively, with only occasional dips into Z3. That&#8217;s not a bad thing, and it&#8217;s good that I&#8217;ve been generally staying in Z1-Z2. It&#8217;s also nice to know I don&#8217;t have to try to stay below 157 (which was excruciatingly slow). I do need to consider training into 3 and 4 on occasion, but not right at the immediate moment. For the time being it&#8217;s running in the zones I&#8217;ve been using, but with a bit more confidence, and no need to stay down lower than is useful. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, results from the testing are in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,27,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exercise","category-geek","category-running"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.countfour.org\/legalmoose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
