RED ZONE
Training in the RED ZONE helps improve your anaerobic energy production and speeds the turnover
of waste products. Training in this zone dramatically improves your ability to resist short term fatigue
and increases your cardiovascular fitness quickly. You will feel VERY stressed in this zone and will be
sweating heavily.
WARNING! Training in the RED ZONE is extremely difficult and should only be attempted by experienced
individuals. Only train in the RED ZONE for short bursts of activity (20 seconds–2 minutes)
ORANGE ZONE
Training in the ORANGE ZONE helps improve your general cardiovascular fitness and can be maintained
for longer periods of time. You will feel very stressed and breathing heavily but able to sustain the pace.
Train in the ORANGE ZONE for 2-20 minutes, or use as Interval Training if training in the RED ZONE is too
difficult.
AMBER ZONE
Training in the AMBER ZONE helps develop cardiovascular fitness and a sustainable running pace.
Training too much in this zone however will not produce long term results unless you push yourself into
the ORANGE ZONE intermittently. You will feel somewhat stressed, sweating and breathing hard.
BLUE ZONE
Training in the BLUE ZONE helps improve your cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Train in the
BLUE ZONE on recovery days, or when you’re working to improve your running or walking technique,
recovering from injury, or just starting out. Your body should feel warm; your heart rate and respiration
should increase and you may sweat.
