This is a simple one 🙂 but useful! It’s good that it’s editable - that way, the heart rate zones actually make sense.

The max HR can be set in Profile > Edit > scroll down and tap Max Heart Rate. Enter the value and save. 

On a side note, it’s good to do a stress test to determine the max HR, or estimate it e.g. from a short race. Those generic formulas such as “220 minus age” are often wildly inaccurate (my actual maximum HR is way higher than what the formula says).

Thank you to those who participated! Congrats to @Jana_S, the winner of this round of Wisdom Wednesday!
