Subject: PRE on bike + HR != PRE during run + HR during training

I'm training using the Fink HR Zones. I am supposed to be in Z1 or Z2 on the bike and run for most of the longer days of training. One thing I have noticed is that when I bike with the same PRE as I have when I am running I am in a lower zone. IE. when I'm running my HR is about 150 something but on the bike my HR is about 120 something but I feel as if I'm exerting myself the same amount. Should I be using the same scale for HR for both activities?

RPE on bike is higher than run. It's because the blood flows different on the bike legs. Sort of horizontal. Same with swim. It's because the body is more horizontal.

ETA... No. You need different HR zones for each discipline. Do a LTHR field test.
