Dr. Carl Foster joins me to discuss his upcoming sessions at this year's ICI/PRO conference in Boston 9/30 – 10/2. As our conversation progressed we steered into; some of the history of zone based heart rate training, where “220-your age” came from (it's actually valid, in some respects) and we talked about my favorite subject – creating a standard method of describing heart rate training zones. I apologize for the length of this episode, I find it all very fascinating 🙂
