+
+Personalized training paces (Daniels' Running Formula) and Karvonen heart-rate zones:
+
+```ruby
+zones = calc.training_paces(50.0)
+zones[:threshold].fast_clock   # => "00:04:15" per km
+zones[:easy].slow_clock        # => "00:05:52" per km

+
+calc.hr_zones(hr_max: 190, hr_rest: 55)
+# => [#<struct zone=1, min_bpm=123, max_bpm=136>, ... zone=5, max_bpm=190]
+```
+
+| Zone | %VO2max | Purpose |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| Easy | 59–74% | Base building, recovery |
+| Marathon | 75–84% | Marathon race pace |
+| Threshold | 83–88% | Lactate threshold, tempo runs |
+| Interval | 95–100% | VO2max development |
+| Repetition | 105–110% | Speed and running economy |
+
+Pace accuracy vs published VDOT tables: within a few seconds per km
+(threshold matches exactly; easy band is a range heuristic).
