Heart Rate Training: 220-age is nonsense

Have you ever wondered what your training zones are? Have you ever wondered why they are important? Have you ever calculated your maximum heart rate and training zones as a general formula 220-age? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please read on.

Their training zones (TZ) various levels of training intensity in training you. The most difficult part of his effort, the greater the training area. Some use a 20-point Borg scale, while a few simplified uses 10-point scale to measure the rating of perceived exertion (RPE).

EPR is essentially what you feel, given the current tension in your body is low. This of course is subjective, but can be a predictor very accurate representation of your TZ.

% Max Heart Rate Zone Training Level of perceived exertion Feels Like ... 50% - 55% 1-under 1 Nothing! 55% - 60% 1-2 high Almost nothing! 60% - 65% 2-under 3 Some! 65% - 70% 2-4 high'm sweating! 70% - 75% 3-under 5'm sweating! 75% - 80% 3-high 6 Work! 80% - 85% 4-under 7 really hard work! 85% - 90% 4-8 high I'm going to vomit! 90% - 95% 5-9 low it can not breathe! 95% - 100% 5-high: 10 Death!

You can see the table above that each training area has a corresponding RPE. We use this scale when testing our athletes and establish its TZ.

It is also important to note that you may have different training areas for each event. In general, swimming is the least followed by the bike with the race with the highest range. This is probably due to the fact that the entire body weight rests while in the water and the bike leans too much of their weight. When executed, is all baby!

The reason why it is important to understand your training zones is to help structure their training properly and note progress.

Ideally, your training will take into account periods of "evidence" and "rest". The "proof" training is difficult that it intends to stretch its limits. The periods of "rest" to allow your body to heal and absorb their training so it will be fitter next time. If the structure of your workouts so that this test and rest your body, your workouts will have greater impact.

The other reason to be aware of your TZ is to record your progress. We call these milestones "set bookmark." If you notice your heart rate during the same exercise at different times (for example, nine weeks later), we expect to see an improvement. In general, we see the improvement in terms of heart rate lower for the same effort (swimming rhythm, Watts on the bicycle or the pace of implementation).

To set your training zones using three different tests protocols (swimming, biking, running). Essentially, we give you an opportunity to warm up - then we beat the crap out of you until you tell us to stop!

We use a "graduated" testing protocol to determine your maximum heart rate. In other words, the effort becomes more and more until you can not take longer. We will ask you throughout the test What is the EPR. We'll ask you again after stopping and calculate your maximum heart rate there.

The old method of determining maximum heart rate established by Drs. Fox and Haskell has never worked. For example, if I use this table predict the maximum heart rate to be: 220 minus 53 (my age) = 167. I've had my maximum heart rate tested several times and is more like 200. For both formulas!
