Zone 2 Run - Except it kept me in Zone 1?

Former Member over 7 years ago

I have had my FR 230 for almost a year now and just started the level 2 HR 10k training plan. It called for 25 minutes in Zone 2. I have my zones set up using HRR and they are as follows:

Z1: 125-137
Z2: 137-150
Z3: 150-163
Z4: 163-176
Z5: 176-189

On my run today, I got a warning every time my heart rate went above somewhere in the lower 130's. After my run, my average HR was 131 and it says I spent 64% in Z3, 28% in Z2, and 4% in Z1.

Why would it give me a warning when I was apparently close to entering Zone 2? Am I missing something here?

If it helps anyone else, I didn't know that you have to set HR zones based on %HRR on the device. I had only done this on the website...which surprises me that it doesn't sync that setting over to the device. https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner230/EN-US/GUID-5D915E5E-A1C9-4BAC-87AD-E306A8C46976.html

In my experience, upon syncing, the HR zones you set up in device settings in Garmin Connect will overwrite what you may have manually set directly on the wearable device.
