Help with burned calories during run
-
@Bradleyd I examined my charts more and noticed that there indeed was massive spike in running power.
I probably caused that myself because I stopped for a minute to pause run and mess around with HR zones. When I continued power shot through the roof.
Today I ran too and there also was spike in running power but this time I didn’t do anything with my Peak Pro. What causes these?

@Timo-Kauppinen Zone 3 should be hard, during that 49 minutes you should not be able to carry out a conversation. One sentence as you are breathing hard. If you can speak full sentences and talk you are in zone 2.

@Brad_Olwin I’m pretty much there with those zones. Got even test this when some old timer who I was passing commented to me it’s good to have anti-skid shoes and only response from me was something between laughter and gurgling sound.
Actually I’m starting to think maybe my old Garmin had wrong HR zones and showed wrong data. I found few burned calories based on heart rate and it’s indeed possible with my specs to burn 1100 calories during 70 min run.

@Timo-Kauppinen You should be able to fine tune your zones as you run. If you have TrainingPeaks Premium there are additional ways to find your aerobic max. The other way is to use the Aerobic Decoupling Suunto Plus. Go on a flat run and gradually warm up to what you believe the top of Z2 should be. After 10 min the SuuntoPlus app will start and then run at a steady pace that you have warmed up to. If your HR decoupling is <5% (should be >2%) then that would be Z2 upper limit. You can set your Anaerobic threshold using the Suunto Plus app for that as well and that will set your Z4 top. Z3/4 cutoff should be in between those.
