Zone 2 Running: Breakthrough Results (It's Not Hype)

Instructions for performing a field max heart rate test (there are MANY ways to do this, this is just the one I did). Use a HRM chest strap to ensure accuracy, like my favorite from Polar: https://amzn.to/4a4Cc5z OR another option for women: Garmin HR Monitor for women: https://fave.co/49H620j

Field test to measure your maximum heart rate (this is HARD, be sure that you are healthy enough for this type of activity before performing):
-Warm up for about 20 minutes, depending on your fitness level.
-Run one mile at tempo pace.
-Build the tempo pace for 1/4 mile.
-Go 1/4 mile as fast as you can until you feel you're at you maximum effort.
The highest number recorded is your maximum heart rate.
