Why target heart rate helps

Target heart-rate ranges help stop every cardio session from becoming a hard session. Easy work, moderate work and hard intervals all have a place.

Formula-based heart-rate estimates can be wrong for individuals, but they are useful starting points for general training structure.

How to apply it

Use easier zones for repeatable base work and harder zones for planned intervals. If symptoms, dizziness, chest pain or unusual breathlessness occur, stop and seek medical advice.
