What is an Easy Run Heart Rate?

An Easy Run Heart Rate refers to the heart rate zone that a runner maintains during an easy or recovery run. This is typically 60-70% of the runner’s maximum heart rate. Running at this heart rate allows the body to build endurance and aerobic capacity while minimizing the risk of injury or overtraining. It is often used in training plans to balance more intense workouts and promote recovery.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{ERHR} = 180 \times 0.6 \text{ to } 180 \times 0.7 = 108 \text{ to } 126 \]

The Easy Run Heart Rate is 108 to 126 bpm.
