    I had this done recently and curious if anyone else here has and what they thought of it? Did you have / make suggested changes and reap reward? I needed my Aerobic zones changed (10 beats lower) so its making a big difference pace wise but i've only had 1 run since which was very very slow. The only piece that left me confused was, my understanding was Anerobic is 80-90% HR but according to the test anerobic was everything past Zone 2. :confused: so it was basically Aerobic Z1/Z2 then Anerobic Z3/Z4/Z5


    Would love to here the thoughts of people on this forum who have had experience with this

    I did 2 with health matters. One in treadmill and one on the bike. I too had to alter my zones specifically on running. I had been running at what I thought was correct heart rate but was about 12 or so bpm higher. Pace felt a lot slower but it definitely had long term improvements and overall I got faster from running slower. It’s worth it

    Excellent! Similar boat to yourself! I was only out by 5-6 beats but guess it makes all the difference!

    What point are you trying to show with that link? Genuinely curious as as a scientific paper it's dire.

    runing on treadmil and outside is different for a start.


    out of interest why do you think that study is dire i dont think it claims much all it does is to say that this has not investigated too much and one should look further into it.

    which is my point i would enourage the 2 posters to read more before making statements.as that would clearly help them.
    also let me add one test at least one poster used the accuracy of intruments is at least questionalbe .
