Hi there, I just answered this in another thread. Here you go
Here’s a good way to view zones:
1- comfortable pace can do it for a long time (could have an entire conversation)
2- moderate but comfortable breathing (say a sentence, take a breath)
3-slightly difficult to breathe (couple of words and having to breath…hard to talk)
4-high and near maximal effort. for shorts bursts of intensity (don’t want to talk during this)
5-Very high unsustainable for long periods…more like sprints. (not talking lol)Your age, athletic ability does play a part. The above is more of like a talk test in a way….that way you can look down at your heart rate and relate it to how you feel as well. Does that help?
Hi Maureen
Thank you for getting abck to me I understand those examples but I was referring to the Mount Sweatmore Treadmill workout in this B&G 2025 challenge if I follow exactly how it is written it puts me in Zone 3 and 4 so to make it more of a LISS workout how would you motify the program for minutes speed and inclineI guess I am not understanding. Is it too tough or too easy for you? For this Challenge, your RPE should be between 5-7 – meaning it should feel
“somewhat hard” to “hard.” You should be able to hold a conversation, but
you’ll be slightly out of breath.Hi Maureen
