giantdrag said:I've used this calculator before and its great to have something that throws figures at you. Infact. it was partly my insporation for writing my website for logging times spent in zones. A website? yes, mainly for logging my numbers when I got to work without carrying a memory stick with me with a spreadsheet on it. www.Zonecalc.co.uk is designed for 5 zones so a little adjsutment is needed depending on whose system you follow (I palnt to add more options for zones)
I have never known what kind of an artist, Right now it's the bottle of Yellow Trail Chardonny (just fnished the 09 cyclo cross season so celebrating a 5th overall, and let me tell you, it's pretty peachy!!) but I'm not sure you mean that kind of artist. (it's a English thing, ask if you don't know what the F i'm talking about)Sillyoldtwit said:So you're a cycling artist. Tyson
Hmm. I'm not able to type over the numbers in blue. I can scroll to them, but the numbers don't appear when I type them.Doctor Morbius said:I've noticed a few recent threads asking questions about heart rate training zones. Since it's that time of year again when everyone gets out their trusty steed and start logging miles I thought this would be useful.
It's a heart rate calculator for those of you that still train using obsolete methods (like me). It's an Excel spreadsheet and you will need to know your age, resting HR, LT via Friel's test and LT via Coggan's test should you want to use those features. I'm sure most of you will already know your max heart rate but there are a couple of ways to estimate it should you need to.
You will find heart rate training zones from the following orgs/coaches...
The information in BLUE is what you will need to enter. It currently has my info so just type over it. The pages following the calculator give more in depth detail of the coache's guidlines.
- Joe Friel
- Andy Coggan
- British Cycling Fed
- Peter Keen (original BCF guidelines)
- Sally Edwards
- Karnoven Formula
- Ric Stern
- Dr. Peter Kanopka
- ACSM guidelines
Unzip and have at it. If you don't have Excel you can download a free Excel viewer from Micro$oft. I used Excel 2003 to type it up.
Don't worry, the file has been tested several times for viruses. That's the last thing I would do to you guys. If you don't have an anti-virus package I highly recommend Avast. It is free for personal use. www.avast.com
just do itDirty Digger said:DM,
Fantastic s/s.
Have you included the Zones which come as pdf on CD with some (most?) Polar HRM for cycling. 'Performance Cycling' by Adrie van Diemen and Jabik-Jan Bastiaans 2002?
