    While you said multiple times that Z1 upper limit is 10% less than AeT, how can I estimate my Z1 lower limit?

    The books say AeT minus 20%

    Thanks.
    Are you talking about TfnA or TftUA?

    ste:

    At these very low intensity there are large grey areas. That’s because there is some controversy over how easy is too easy for one to see improvement or maintenance. For a couch potato this grey area is going to extend dow farther in the heart rate scale than for a world class athlete.

    Making the Zone 1 about 10% wide is a good place to start.
