Garmin preset for Heart Rate Zones (%LTHR based)

Feature Requests

Hello! I’m matching the heart rate and power zones to my Garmin 955 and I can’t seem to find a preset that matches the Garmin default zones based on %LTHR.

For power, Garmin seems to match perfectly the Friel preset for cycling and the MyProCoach Run for running.

Would it be possible to add it (it seems to be the same for cycling, running and generic sport zones)? Or am I missing a preset that matches?

These are the default Garmin Zones:

You can edit the zones to exactly match those. Do you know what that Garmin zone setup is called?

There are three methods used:

  • % of MaxHR
  • MaxHR and RHR (resting HR)
  • %LTHR

Looks like @ggarcea should be using % of Lactate Threshold

Zone 5 is essentially t above LTHR to maxHR.

Correct! I’m using the % of Lactate Threshold. I did edit the zones to match that but if I’m not mistaken I can only edit the absolute BPMs and not the percentages, so the next time I change my lactate threshold I will need to change all the zones one by one. Ideally, I would change only the threshold and the percentages would stay the same. Thanks!
