Heart rate zones seem off

8192510 over 2 years ago

Anyone know why my zone 5 has a maximum heart rate of 157? I’m 47 and my heart rate is higher than this for any run that is not a recovery run. I thought maximum heart rate is 220-age? Confused why Garmin has this as my zone. My resting heart rate is low (40). Is this why?

Do you have the Max HR auto-detection option on in the settings? Did you already do some logged workouts where your HR was above 157 for couple of tens of seconds, at least?
