Heart rates are kinda like boobs. No one's ever happy with theirs! 

I get A LOT of questions from people who see their friend Suzy's heart rate stats on Instagram Stories and are freaking out because theirs is different. They seriously wonder if they've screwed up their fitness or they have a heart defect.

And honestly, after 12 solid months of heart rate training, I do the same thing.

So this episode, we're going to burn all that down and dive into the nitty gritty science of heart rate training. We'll talk about:

• Why knowing your max heart rate is meaningless — and what numbers actually DO matter.
• How to find the perfect target heart rates to build endurance and speed.
• The effects of altitude on heart rate, and what to do about it.
• Factors that screw up your heart rate, and what to do instead when yours is off.
• Why comparing your heart rate to Suzy's is pointless.
• The best gear for heart rate training.

If you've been frustrated by heart rate training in the past, this episode is for you! Chances are, you'll listen and realize there's nothing wrong with your heart and that you're exactly where you need to be.
