Have Heart Rate Monitor, Will Train.

We hear from a lot of TrainingPeaks users who fall into one of two groups:

• You've got a heart rate monitor and you're wearing it on your runs and rides and uploading the data, but you're not exactly sure what you're supposed to be looking for once the data fills the screen.


• Or maybe you've got a GPS device with a heart rate monitor and you're uploading that data to TrainingPeaks and only focusing on distance and time.

To get the most out of training with your device, it's good to know a little bit about the purpose of  heart rate training and really important to know your Training Zones (and enter them into TrainingPeaks).  Lots of the other, more advanced functionality in TrainingPeaks depends on accurate Zone information, so this is a very important process!
