lt test
I am a clyde and been riding since august I lost around 25 lbs since then riding and eating clean around 215 now give or take.I completed a lt test by doing the 2x 20 and my results avg was 155.So I was wondering were I set my zones at.i have a 3 zone hrt monitor watch.I have my first zone at 109-130 thinking this could be my endurance type zone.My second zone is set at 131-147 i guess this could be maybe like a tt type zone(no clue really}.and then my third zone would be 148-164 and I guess that would be my anaerobic zone {maybe}.Was wondering if I got the right idea or someone could tell me were to set them.Did multiple searches and this was the best I could do.....................thks
my resting hrt rate is around 62 and max is 180 I got it to 177 indoors so figured 180 is about right

For what it's worth.....We're about the same max (178 for me). I have 5 zones set in my Garmin:
Zone 1 (warm up): 117-128
Zone 2 (fitness): 129-140
Zone 3 (aerobic): 141-152
Zone 4 (anaerobic): 153-164
Zone 5 (red line): 165+
Zone 1 (warm up): 117-128
Zone 2 (fitness): 129-140
Zone 3 (aerobic): 141-152
Zone 4 (anaerobic): 153-164
Zone 5 (red line): 165+

I,ve never done the LTH test myself but thru experience this is what I have learned. My max HR is about 198, I got that number as it's the highest I've ever seen on my Garmin. The only other number I look at is hard effort numbers. For example I can stay at 165-175 for about 2 hrs then I have to back off or suck whel to get my Hr down to around 150 then I can kick it back up again. The group I train with sprint every town sign and I usually can get it up to 190-195 HR for these occassions. When I know i've over cooked it is when under hard effort I can no longer get HR to pass 155. Not sure what that means as I've never looked into it. It took me three years to get to these numbers and they are a lot higher than when I started riding.
I don't worry about my warm up HR as it dosen't really affect the performance of my ride, I do watch how quickly I recover after hard effort, I have found that if I recover quickly after hard effort I still have a lot in the tank.
