ideal HR zone curve


Recommended Posts

So training peaks gives me histograms for time spend in zones for HR and Power. Great...except that it does not tell me if i spend the righ proportion of time in the zones. I read somewhere that 10 % should be at vo2 max, 10 % at LT and 80 % below LT. So what does this 80 % look like? Does someone have a ideal curve for base and a curve for race training?

Would be interested to see recommendations for % of time to spend in each zone. Would presumably change substantially depending on training period. (Maint., build, peak)
