Garmin has their own Lactate Threshold(LT) Test which can get your estimated LT HR and Pace. Then you use Threshold HR for zoning instead of Max HR. This would be the most practical that give you a close enough way to zone short of doing the actual Lactate Threshold or VO2Max test in a Laboratory($$$) to get your LT HR and Max HR respectively.
But I don't think your model has it. Only the mid range and higher end models and it requires an external HR chest strap monitor.

You can google how to do LTHR test. There's a few variations on the internet, most would require you to run your lungs out for around 30min.

Some watch like my Coros Pace 2 or if you upload your runs to Training Peaks, they have auto LTHR detection after some number of runs. However this may not be as accurate as the actual LTHR test.

Once you have your LTHR, just set this HR into your zone setting in Garmin and remember to change the calculation method from default Max HR to LTHR.

For those looking for thick cushioning, this one is really right there max cushion. I keep hearing the two hosts saying this shoes upper is very plush here plush there, not for heavy sweater like me. It's a sweat collector with minimal breathability..

20231201 1degC brooks hyperion tempo
11.3km @ 6'03" average
freezing cold, left home and went back to change into a thick fleece hoody and glooves

Drizzling till 6AM just now here South side.
Grounds still very wet now at 8am (even my normal Puma shoes front part start to get wet even just walking for 500m)

Think those going for SCSM need to prep and use shoes that can drain + employ other wet weather tricks to prevent chafing and broken skin/blisters due to wet weather.

Not really suitable for running, but this type can easily get you into the mood for zone 4 / LT race/brisk walking, possibly cycling as well.

Me lor....... early 50s liao.

But i think still can do........of coz do the specific personal FFI clearance first, i already done like close to 10 of those cheap body checkups, no cormorbidities detected.

Last time early 30s my heart got a bit wierd feeling, but checked on stress test treadmill no abnormalities.
Didnt do calcium scoring etc those stuff tho......
However the wierd thing is since covid that time started to workout (first brisk walking then racewalking and now running/cycling) all my wierd feelings all gone.

Hopefully like last year, just a little wet and drizzle. Not the down pour type. Then it would be cooling.
