So i recently know about heart rate zones based on LTHR.
My question is, what do the zones mean? For example, is the zone 2 in LTHR viewed the same way as zone 2 based on HRR?

If you know your max and min as well as your LTHR you should be able to do the math and answer your own question. They should be pretty close and training systems based on those zones use zone 2 for the same purpose however it is calculated.
Thanks. Just that with LTHR my zone 2 seems higher than when i based it on HRR.
With Lthr my zone 2 is 139-153 bpm
When i was using HRR it was 135-147bpm

Take the over/under and simplify by using 135 - 150... retesting occasionally for training adaptations.

Thats a good idea. ill try not to cross 150bpm to remain in zone 2.
thanks for clearing the doubt.
You're welcome... it's easy to get caught up in the numbers, but with a little practice you'll find yourself simplifying more and more with all the various aspects of your training.
Best wishes!

Your computed zones are close enough that it shouldn't matter much which one you use. That is to say, you wouldn't be doing any harm if you were at 153 during a zone 2 run; in fact at the end of a zone 2 run your HR might drift higher than that and you're still fine.
