How to Set Your Training Zones (be better than generic zones)

Описание: Is your Garmin or sports watch sabotaging your fitness? The default 5-zone training model is likely wrong for you, causing you to train in the frustrating "gray zone." This guide shows you how to fix it by finding your true physiological thresholds.

Stop guessing and start training smarter. We break down why the one-size-fits-all percentages for heart rate zones are flawed and how they fail to account for your unique physiology. You'll learn about the two critical metabolic tipping points—your Aerobic Threshold (LT1) and Anaerobic Threshold (LT2)—that create three distinct training zones that actually matter for building endurance and speed.

This video provides two simple, at-home tests you can perform with just a heart rate monitor to find your precise LT1 and LT2. We walk you through the "Talk Test" to pinpoint your aerobic threshold and a 30-minute time trial to determine your Lactate Threshold Heart Rate (LTHR). Once you have these two crucial data points, we show you exactly how to customize the settings in your watch or apps like TrainingPeaks to create a 5-zone model that is perfectly anchored to your body, turning a flawed system into your secret weapon for getting faster.
