The Heart Rate Based Training clinic will introduce triathletes to basic training concepts and using heart rate as a means of measuring workout intensity. We will also discuss heart rate training zones and the scientific principles underlying training in zones. Finally, we will discuss the VO2 max test (metabolic analysis) and how an athlete can use the results to properly train with a heart rate monitor.
The presentation is directed at triathletes of all levels of experience. First-timers will learn the benefits of proper training with discipline, while more experienced triathletes will learn more about the physiological effects of their years of training.
