Zones made from lactate threshold

Can You make a new value in Garmin Connect and Edge units - lactate threshold? Also can we make a zones based on that value?

Thanks :)
  • Also it would be nice if there can be more HR zones, by Joe Friels programs there is 7 of them needed.
  • If you have your lactate threshold test results, you should have been given your lactate threshold heart rate value. Often you would be given that number and a rough estimate of your other zone values in bpm. If you didn't get the zone numbers, but have the lactate threshold heart rate, you can set the lower end of zone 4 to that value and then estimate the rest of your zones around that figure.

    Garmin Connect used to have a simple way to add/remove zones, but they removed it sometime after Feb 5. I created this page which can be used to edit/add/remove zones as you see fit.

  • That way zones are not as precise. I would like to see heart rate in % of LT, with a things as they are now easiest way would be to put a threshold as a HRmax, but that way ride summary would be totally off.
  • And also it would be nice to see a chart with a HR zones distribution.
