Think Your HR Zones Are Wrong? Let’s Get Precise


Hey Intuitive Runners,

If your heart rate zones feel off, you’re not alone—standard age-based data can miss the mark, leaving you with zones that don’t reflect where you’re truly at. Lactate threshold testing is a powerful way to get precise training data designed for you, wherever you are in your journey.

Why Do a Lactate Threshold Test?

  • Completely Tailored Zones: Get HR zones based on your physiology, not an age-predicted average.
  • Optimize Your Workouts: Identify exactly where you hit Zone 2 and your lactate threshold so you can train smarter.
  • Ideal for All Levels: This test isn’t just for seasoned athletes—beginners benefit, too, by establishing a solid training baseline! No “good” or “bad” results, just insights to show where you are today and re-assess for progress over time.

Here's what it would look like:

How It Works:

The test is simple—just a few quick finger pricks during a treadmill run. Afterward, you’ll get a detailed report with custom HR zones you can program directly into your smartwatch.

Testing like this isn’t widely available, and few people are trained to offer it, making it a unique opportunity to train with personalized accuracy and see results you can feel!
