Hi everyone !
I'm setting my HR training zones and have a problem. During a 20k bike time trial during a triathlon race, I average 175bpm, the same when doing a 20min threshold test.
I choose 177 as my threshold heart rate.
I found diferents caclulators, giving me diferents zone… I use the British Cycling training plans, but the zone the give me are:
-z2 119-145
z3 145-165
z4 165-183
So sweetspot is given in high z3-mid z4 so around 160-175.
Training peak give me:
z2 141-155
z3 157-163
z4 165-173
When training in z2 or high z4, it's very different and can change the purpose of the session.
In addition, I Don't found much information about sweetspot training heart rate. In the fastcat website, they advice 94-99% of threshold heart rate for triathlete… This is the same as z4 training in Friel system..
If someone can help me with setting my training zone and sweetspot ?
Thank you
Ivan
