Our heart-rate and pace zone tracker is pretty cool we have to admit. Whether you are training by heart-rate zones, swimming pace zones or even RPE, our zone tracker lets you create personal zones in each sport by your own formulas or even through our calculators of some common methods.
Background Here is some background information on heart-rate zone training:
If you want to log your zone data with your swim, bike and run workouts, you must configure them first.
1. HR Zone Control Panel Go to your 'Settings' and navigate to the below link 'Manage your 'HR Zones.'
2. The Zone Manager It's very simple. You can create, edit, view or delete your training zones. BE CAREFUL! If you 'delete' an older zone that has logged zone data, that entire zone will not be available for charts and graphs.
3. The Zone Creator Anytime you 'Create a new HR zone', you get taken away to our zone creator to either user our calculators or you can supply your own numbers and comments about that zone.
A note on LT: BT's Silver and Gold training plans were created by D3 Multisport and the preferred method of getting HR zones for following those training plans is by the 'Lactate Threshold' method. If you click on 'Choose a method', you will be able to read about all of the different ways to create heart-rate zones. You will also be linked to a page detailing the bike and run testing to get your LT number (which will be different for each). From that number, we calculate your training zones using D3 Multisport's zone percentages which are an adaptation of the Friel method.
4. Logging Workouts Ok, you have setup your zones, now it's time to log your workout zone information. First, go to your logging screen:
Secondly, click on 'Add enhanced HR Zones' if that days workout has detailed zone data to log. The log will now open up to accept your zone data:
5. Viewing Charts and Graphs Free members and subscribers can log HR zone data and also create, edit and view HR zone tables. Only Subscribers have the graphing ability though.
Aggregate zone data: You can view current aggregate zone data via your 'Blog-View' by clicking on 'view' to get a table or the graph icon to see it graphically represented. You can also view aggregate non-active zone data via your 'Zone Manager' (above).
Individual Workout zone data: You can view current workout zone data via your 'Blog-View' by clicking on 'Enhanced HR data' to get a table or the graph icon to see it graphically represented for only that workout.
Happy zone training! If any questions, see the 'Training Log' forum.
Major props to 'Marmadaddy' who decided to take this project on after we have been collecting this data for years but never had anyway to graphically represent it.
