Polarized training: many longevity experts recommend 80 % of training time in zone 2 and 20 % in zone 4/5 – little in the “grey zone” 3.
Heart rate zones are a supporting structure. With experience, you sense the zones through breathing, ability to talk (talk test) and perceived exertion (RPE) – often more precise than any pulse measurement.
Methods: % HRmax (simple): zone X = X % × HRmax. Karvonen (more precise, accounts for fitness level): zone X = HRrest + X % × (HRmax − HRrest). · Source: Karvonen MJ, Kentala E, Mustala O. The effects of training on heart rate. Ann Med Exp Biol Fenn. 1957;35:307–315.
