Yes. I do ride according to these zones....unless I just had a ton of coffee in which case it is all screwed up.
It has nothing to do with running. That was just the first website I found on the subject. There are many, many more that say the same thing. Your MAX HR will be higher while running, but the formulas are the same.
Here is a good calculator that shows the zones corrected for resting HR.
