Swimrun Training Zones
Alternating swim and run with no rest. Blend CSS swim pace with run HR/pace zones; transitions keep you near threshold.
Max Heart Rate Calculator
Your maximum heart rate is the highest your heart can beat in all-out effort. Age formulas estimate it: Tanaka gives 208 − 0.7 × age; the classic 220 − age tends to run high. At age 35 that is roughly 184 and 185 bpm, but the real value varies by ±10–12 bpm, so test it to be sure.
Heart Rate Zone Calculator
Your heart-rate zones are percentages of your maximum heart rate: Zone 1 is 50–60%, Zone 2 60–70%, Zone 3 70–80%, Zone 4 80–90% and Zone 5 90–100%. At a max of 185 bpm, Zone 2, the key aerobic-base zone, runs about 111–130 bpm. Spend most easy training in Zones 1–2.
Critical Swim Speed (CSS) Calculator
Critical Swim Speed is your swimming threshold pace, found from two time trials: CSS = 200 ÷ (t400 − t200) in metres per second, and pace per 100 m = 100 ÷ CSS. A 400 m in 6:00 and 200 m in 2:50 give a CSS of about 1.05 m/s, or roughly 1:35 per 100 m, your sustainable threshold pace.
