Training heart rate zones using the Karvonen method.

How it works

Max heart rate is estimated as 220 − age. The Karvonen method adds a percentage of your heart rate reserve (max − resting) to your resting rate. The 220 − age formula can be off by 10 bpm or more, so a measured max from a hard test is better. Example: with the default values, max heart rate is 185 bpm and Zone 2 runs 135–148 bpm.
