HR training confusion...

I'm not 100%, but from my experience with perceived exertion, i'm normally pumping 20bpm more when running.
Can't comment about the swimming though.

Swimming HR is actually less because of the cooling effect of the water. So run will be the highest, then bike then swim. For me, it's roughly a 5% drop from running to biking and another 5% for my swimming. Roughly.

It is different for all three but gets closer as one gets fitter. Figure out your lactate threshold (LT), aka the anaerobic threshold (AT), for the bike and run and then you might want to use these:

(Friel's is most common)

Suggestions of how to get the LT?

Good luck.

Can anyone direct me to a good source of information (on this forum or elsewhere) about the relative aerobic heart rate training zones for running vs biking vs swimming?
I read (somewhere) that if your optimal aerobic training heart rate for running is, say, 140 bpm, then your optimal biking HR for the same type of training would be maybe 10 or so bpm less and probably a bit higher than 140 bpm for swimming.
But I'm having trouble finding anything that appears to be reliable information about this. Is the only way to determine this to go in and get the lactate threshold testing done for each sport?
thanks
