Heart Rate Zone Calculator

Calculate your five heart rate training zones using age-based estimation, a known max heart rate, or your lactate threshold.

Enables more individualized Karvonen method zones

How It Works

This calculator supports three methods for determining your training zones:

  • Age-based Estimates max HR using both the classic formula (220 − age) and the Tanaka formula (208 − 0.7 × age).
  • Known Max HR Uses your measured maximum heart rate for more individualized percentage-based zones.
  • Lactate Threshold (LTHR) Calculates zones from lactate threshold heart rate, which better reflects individual fitness than an age-only estimate.

If you provide a resting heart rate, the calculator applies the Karvonen method so zone boundaries account for heart rate reserve.

Why It Matters

Training zones help distinguish easy aerobic work from tempo, threshold, and high-intensity efforts. SensAI records your zone breakdown after workouts and uses your performance and recovery trends when regenerating your weekly program.
