CTS Field Test Verification

January 5, 2008 · No Comments

This morning I did the verification workout of the Field Test. The Steady State heart rate was calculated at 129-134 using the field test calculator on the trainright.com site. I was running the numbers myself when I was writing this post that it seemed low. I went back to the calculator and reentered my 2 heart rates (147 & 151). Not sure what I did but today's the SteadyState numbers were computed at 139-144. I'm not sure what I did when I originally entered my numbers but the Tempo and Climbing Repeats numbers were off by 10. I've updated my Field Test numbers to reflect that. The verification backs up the higher numbers:

  • SteadyState 1: 128/139
  • SteadyState 2: 136/142
  • SteadyState 3: 144/153

This week I'll redo this verification to make sure that I'm tracking for the new range. Here's what this workout entails:
