Resting HR Karvonen Formula

Resting HR this morning, 43. Will take an average over the next few days to be sure..

Once you have your resting HR you can detect overtaining (if it increases) and you can also plug it into the karvonen formula to create a more realistic heart rate range.

(220) - (your age) = MaxHR
(MaxHR) - (resting heart rate) = HR Reserve
(HRR) x (60% to 80%) = training range %
(training range %) + (resting heart rate) = (your target training zone)

So for me, age 38:
220-38 =182 MHR
182 - 43 = 139 Heart Rate Reserve

139 * .60 (%) = 83.4
83.4 + 43 = 126 (60%)

139 * .80 (%) = 111.2
111.2+ 43 = 152 (80%)

139 * 1.00 (%) = 139.4
139.4+ 43 = 182(100%)

I have not used a HRmonitor in a while, but I know heavy and/or fast snatching puts me near 177, which working backwards would be:

177-43 = 134
134 / 139.4 = 96%

Yea, it feels like 96...

I will dig out my monitor and see the next time I do a heavy workout where I fall...
