Pro  4311   Texas |  Subject: LT variance between bike & run?I have yet to do my LT test on the bike, but I have done it on the run a couple times so I'm familiar with my HR zones for running. How much do the HR zones vary between cycling & running on average(if at all)? Just by watching my HR during the ride, it seems like my HR zones will be lower on the bike(aka zone 5 on the bike will be lower than its running equivalent), but I'm curious as to about how much I should expect this difference to be. Anyone else care to put forth their HR zone differences so I can get a ballpark idea? |

Master 1529 Living in the past | Subject: RE: LT variance between bike & run? Currently, they are the same for me...but the bike LT is more contemporary and I am at a MUCH different place training-wise since I tested the run LT. I have seen others 'reference' about 10 bpm difference (bike lower than run).

Coach 10487 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: LT variance between bike & run? It varies based on your fitness level on each sport. The range can be anywhere from 5-10 beats or more but it is normal for cycling to have a lower HR |

Lethbridge, Alberta Bronze member | Subject: RE: LT variance between bike & run? It's going to vary from person to person, and will vary with relative fitnesses too. When I first started tri training a few years ago, I was an exception to the rule for this. I had a bit of bike fitness from mountain biking but my running was dismal. On a bike I could hold my HR at least 10 bpm higher than my field tested run LTHR. I haven't tested recently but I'm sure it's much more normally balanced now. |

| Elite 3498 Chicago | Subject: RE: LT variance between bike & run? I started tri's 11 years ago and I noticed that when i'm at "optimal fitness" my bike is about 13-15bpm lower.but this LTHR was determine by a blood testing protocal and not a field test. |
