Certainly :-)

My monthly summary says 26% zone 0 and 69% zone 1.

Those numbers aren't a good fit for the HR data recorded in this month's training, which would be vast majority zone 2 & zone 3.

However, I have run "pace zones" settings (out of date now I'm a slow non-runner) which *would* explain the 26% zone 0 and 69% zone 1, if they were used in the calculation.

[Where someone has HR data, then all calcs should really default to using that.]

On my monthly summary the HR zones are identical to my time in pace zones in percentage terms. It also includes my pace zones in the HR zones. It is almost as if they've been merged in error? As obviously the paces in HR zones may vary dramatically from run to run.

All looks fabulous anyway and is definitely looking like it is going to be really helpful, maybe just a couple of minor tweaks still needed.👍😊

IIRC, my algorithm breaks all your runs into 100 metre chunks, and takes the average HR during that chunk as a data point.

So what you're say Fetch is you already have 100m benchmarks? ;-)

In my monthly summary, I see pace zones as follows:

Zone

Pace Bracket

Miles

Percent
Zone 5 <7:30 0.3 0.4%
Zone 4 <8:00 0.7 0.9%
Zone 3 <8:30 2.2 3%
Zone 2 <9:00 9.8 13.6%
Zone 1 <9:30 24.0 33.3%
Zone 0 35.0 48.7%

and HR zones as follows:

Z0 = 9%
Z1 = 38%
Z2 = 28%
Z3 = 25%
Z4 =1%
Z5 = 0

Let's try that formatting again:

Zone, Pace Bracket, Miles, Percent
Zone 5 <7:30 0.3 0.4%
Zone 4 <8:00 0.7 0.9%
Zone 3 <8:30 2.2 3%
Zone 2 <9:00 9.8 13.6%
Zone 1 <9:30 24.0 33.3%
Zone 0 35.0 48.7%

and HR zones as follows:

Z0 = 9%
Z1 = 38%
Z2 = 28%
Z3 = 25%
Z4 =1%
Z5 = 0

Just for the avoidance of doubt, are you spotting that the HR distribution is a bar beneath the pace distribution?

PtB - I've had a look at your summary page, and I think you're looking in the wrong place. Admittedly, I could do with making more of the HR distribution (it can probably form part of that larger table), but it's always been just below the pace table, not part of it.

Bonners - same :-)

Clearly that's my next usability update :-)

Ah. I never even scrolled down, I just assumed that this bit:

was telling me time in HR zones.

Nah, I'll get to that in time, but I'm going through crayons at quite a rate here.

About This Thread

Maintained by Elderberry
Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
