How do you feel about this program now that you've been on it for a while?
I will be observing this closely. Will you still be using the KB during this cycle? And have you done anything like this before?Program is a basic one.
2 - 3 x per week x 4 weeks. Retest after.
Zone 1 = < 152 BPM
Zone 2 = 152 -161 BPM
Zone 3 = 162 - 170 BPM
Zone 4 = 171 - 177 BPM
Zone 5a = 178 - 181 BPM
Main Set:
Intervals
6 minutes of Zone 3 HR ______ , 90 seconds rest (walking)
4 minutes of Zone 4 HR ______, 90 seconds rest (walking)
2 minutes of Zone 5a HR ______, 90 seconds rest (walking)
Steady State
6 minutes of Zone 1 HR ______, 90 seconds rest (walking)
Intervals
6 minutes of Zone 3HR ______ , 90 seconds rest (walking)
4 minutes of Zone 4 HR ______, 90 seconds rest (walking)
2 minutes of Zone 5a HR ______, 90 seconds rest (walking)

autocorrect, KB not in.Using the in? Im a bit confused just woke up.
I had to do this for my training prescription class in exercise physiology so im familiar, and ran a bastardized version for a fighter once..
Edit: Wife bought me new HR monitor, I may do a 20 minute "sprint" to find Max HR and re-calculate today as that is typical for this field test anyway. I'll compare the two results to see how close they are.
It isn't inherently a bad thing my LTHR came out to Average HR, but this reflects one of two things:
1. Accidentally accurate enough to maintain pace.
2. A margin error unaccounted for (Likely missing my true Max HR). This is why its important to try to find it prior to the field test, but with my HR previously broken I had to opt for the standard HR Calculation.
