CLARIFICATION on HR zones and % HR: The percentage of Max HR is as described per zone (1:50), but the calculator linked in the description feeds this into the Karvonen formula. Karvonen formula is: ([Maximum heart rate - resting heart rate] x % HR) + resting heart rate = training zone. This clinic website explains it quite well in detail: health.clevelandclinic.org/exercise-heart-rate-zones-explained For simplicity, the calculator in the description does that for you based on the metric Age or Max HR: myprocoach.net/calculators/hr-zones/ It does make assumptions about your resting HR, so numbers might differ slightly between calculator and your own calculations.
A lot of great points that many people don't learn until after they've attempted the Ironman. For instance: Quitting is a habit...if you quit workouts early, it'll be easier to quit on yourself during the race.
Awesome Liam! Really nice to hear. Hope everything is going well in your training. Any topics that you are currently struggling with in your training? Good luck on your preparation💪 Consider subscribing, as I have a few more videos coming up next weeks.
Thanks folks for pointing this out. You are absolutely right! That is not super clear, I agree.

Thanks for the nice feedback CJ. Appreciate it.
This is so helpful, thank you! I have 16 weeks before a 70.3 and another 16 before an Ironman. Taking all these lessons to heart

Nice. Hugs from Brazil. I started training recently.
That's awesome. Keep up the grind! You got it mate. How's it going?
On Saturday I started training (without a coach) for the first time for a 70.3 in December.
Keep posting content, I need all the motivation possible
That's awesome GejRodriguez! Will do from my side! Keep the hard work up and never skip a workout. You can do it!
Your zone and % math does not workout.
Max HR is 187 and zone 1 (50%-60%) should be 94-112.
was just about to write this lol
