Frequently Asked Questions

How are the zones calculated?

Karvonen method: max HR = 220 − age, reserve = max − resting HR, then zones at 50–60% recovery, 60–70% fat-burn, 70–80% aerobic, 80–90% threshold, 90–100% max of reserve added back to resting. Example: age 35, resting 65 → max 185, reserve 120, Zone 2 ≈137–149 bpm.

Which zone burns the most fat?

Zone 2 (60–70%) burns the highest fat fraction — but higher zones burn more total calories per minute. For fat loss, total weekly volume in Zones 2–3 beats short Zone 5 bursts.

How accurate is 220-minus-age?

±10–12 bpm for most people; medications (beta blockers), fitness, and genetics shift it. For precise training, do a field test or lab VO2max — formulas are starting points.

What zone for a beginner runner?

80% of runs in Zone 2 (conversational pace), 20% harder. Beginners going too hard is the top cause of burnout and injury — slow builds the aerobic base.
