This wasn't the case for me during my last fitness test. My fat burning rate peaked at about 70% of my MHR and then steadily declined to zero as I reached my AT at around 85% of my MHR. My fat...

I use a Timex watch along with a Data Recorder to keep a computer log of my workouts. Their software shows how much time you spend in each zone, and you can export the raw data to a spreadsheet for...
