Heart Rate Zone Calculator — Training Zones from HR

Calculate heart rate training zones from max HR, LTHR or using the Karvonen method.


How We Calculate This

Heart Rate Zone Methods

% of Max HR: Each zone is a percentage range of your maximum heart rate. Simple but less personalised.

LTHR-based: Zones are set relative to your lactate threshold heart rate. Uses the Coggan/Friel 7-zone model, most popular with serious cyclists.

Karvonen: Target HR = Resting HR + (Heart Rate Reserve x intensity%). More personalised as it accounts for resting heart rate.
