10) PACER (PARAGON 6 ONLY): Trains you to run at a steady "race pace". Enter in the distance plus the time limit, and the
program calculates a steady pace.
HEART RATE TRAINING
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your
training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max
HR = 220 – your age). The age-based method
provides an average statistical prediction of your
max HR and is a good method for the majority of
people, especially those new to heart rate training.
The most precise and accurate way of determining
your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested
by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through
the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the
age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for
several years, or have a history of heart disease
in your family, clinical testing is recommended. This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30 year old exercising at 5
different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old's max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.
