@JeffreyMelvin Hi Jeffrey, happy to hear you like the app! Sorry to say you can’t edit the workout type after the fact since some metrics were calculated during the workout based on the initial selected workout.
What is Zone 2 cardio?
Zone 2 cardio is low intensity cardio, cardio performed between 60-70% of your maximum heart rate.
If you don't have a heart rate monitor, this is the zone where you can perform cardio while still being able to hold a conversation with someone.
How does Zone 2 calculate heart rate zones?

Maximum heart rate is calculated using the Gellish Formula. If resting heart rate is supplied with age, zones are calculated using the Heart Rate Reserve method.
How to improve lung capacity:
