Training by heart rate

Want to lose weight, stay in shape, or prepare for a race? Whatever your goal, you can't do it without monitoring your heart rate. It indicates when you're burning fat, building endurance, or improving speed, but also when you should let your body rest. Thanks to the boom in smartwatches, mobile phone apps, and improved sports testers that can perfectly track your heart's activity during exercise, it has never been easier to adapt your training to your individual needs.

The authors of the successful book Heart Rate Training have drawn on their decades of coaching experience and scientific research to offer a clearly presented guide on how to work with heart rate monitoring. This will help you create a personalised training plan that matches your goals and current fitness level. It also provides sample programmes and training plans for endurance sports: walking, running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, rowing, cross-country skiing, and team sports.

Whether your aim is to improve your lifelong fitness or take your athletic performance to the next level, with Heart Rate Training you will achieve the results you want.
