I did the running heart rate test this weekend on my treadmill. Here’s how you do the test, according to Gale Bernhardt’s book:
You will need a treadmill with a top speed of at least 10mph, heart rate monitor, and an assistant, who will operate the treadmill during the test and write down your speed and heart rate.
The test wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be…only the last two minutes felt really difficult. See my xy plot below. There are three dips in my graph, one at a heart rate of 163 and one at a heart rate of 170. The VT that my husband noted was at 175, so I guess I’ll go with 170 as my LT.
Once you have your LT, you look up your training zones in a chart like this one.
