11 | Subject: Movescount Dual Heart Rates? Hello everyone, Ive been hanging around for a little taking in all I can and finally have the first of many questions for the group. Just a little back ground, I started running for the first time on January in an effort to make a turning point in life to getting into the shape I should be in. A few months latter a friend who was a big fitness guy suggested I compete in the local sprint triathlon with him "just for fun". Well I started doing a little training and really enjoyed mixing biking and swimming into the daily activity so I agreed to do the Tri. I didn't realize at the time what I had agreed to was only 4 weeks away so I kicked it into high gear. Long story short, it was this past Saturday and I did better than I could have expected and it was a blast. So you know the rest, the bug has bitten and Im hooked. The race really provided the motivation I needed to get out there when I would much rather sit on the couch so Im already planning the next one and am looking at an olympic distance at the end of August as a season end goal. I've subscribed to the "Sprint to Olympic" training plan and am ready to press forward towards that goal. My question is this. Ive been doing a lot of reading on here about using your lactate threshold as the base point for heart rate training (which the plan uses). Ive done the LT field test for both the bike and running and discovered, as indicated, that they are different by a significant amount (about 11 BPM). As mentioned, Im pretty new to this kind of training so I do depend on my heart rate monitor while working out to stay on the right zones. But, having two max heart rates for biking and running looks to be a pain having to go in and change all the settings when going between workouts. I have a Suunto Ambit3 Vertical for a GPS watch/HR monitor (love it BTW). Does anyone have a solution or know of an Movescount app that would let me put a different heart rate zone in each of the running and cycling workouts? |

Member 1748 Exton, PA | Subject: RE: Movescount Dual Heart Rates? I use Suunto as well, I don't think there is a way to set up 2 sets of heart rates based on the sport. That being said use which ever is higher, I assume that to be your run. The lower would one would be an indication that your sport specific muscle can not match what your heart is capable of. For me (when I'm well conditioned) I know I can hold a 165 HR on the bike or on the run for long distances. However when I'm not as well conditioned, I usually can not hold that on the bike.

Pro 6582 Melbourne FL | Subject: RE: Movescount Dual Heart Rates? I used the run zones in the HRM and then subtracted the difference on the tests for the bike. Not too big of a deal on the bike, you can withstand harder efforts on the bike and after awhile you'll learn (RPE) the efforts. |

3 | Subject: RE: Movescount Dual Heart Rates? Bryson from Suunto here. There currently is not the possibility to define different heart rate zones for different activities. There are several heart rate zone apps available (http://www.movescount.com/apps#activity=4&term=zone), but there doesn't seem to be one that would provide automatically lower zone levels for cycling than running.
