Hey Marco, have you played around with garmin ramp test to set zones? It calculates your LT2 from HRV via a chest strap. For me the zones it spat out seemed remarkably similar to the talk test so I was really pleased.
I’m in the 90th percentile for vertical jump so I’m guessing fast twitch dominant so I err on the lower side of the zones cause a ramp test might over estimate aerobic performance in fast twitch dominant people
This is such a great way of explaining things. You've a knack for breaking content down in a way that's easily digestible. Question: based on your prior writings, it looks when I started low hr training I was at a similar place to where you were. When did you start incorporating intensity, or did you never stop?
Nice article Marco. Just curious, what heart rate percentages do you use for your training zones?

Great topic. Question: how do you set HR by zone? My HR varies between 36-178, and I set my zone 2 max at 130 bpm. Yours is set much higher.
