NB - All the training is based upon percentages of maximal heart rate (HRmax).  Therefore, for those who do not possess a heart rate monitor, the following 5 exercise intensity classifications should be used:

% HRmax   Type of Training  Perceived Exertion
Below 60%HRmax  Recovery   Very Easy
61 - 75%HRmax Low Intensity Easy to Comfortable
75 - 85%HRmax Medium Intensity Uncomfortable to Slightly Hard
86 - 93%HRmax High Intensity Hard to Very Hard
