How fast would a humble donkey's heart beat, relative to its maximum, if it were pulling a chariot at an easy pace? I'm guessing it would be in a zone compared to where my HR was during today's rowing.

Today's rowing work was done at a low but slightly elevated heart rate compared to the past few days. Unlike the past few days, today there was a target heart rate zone. It was derived from a formula found in Dr. Phil Maffetone's book, "The Maffetone Method," pages 58-59. The resulting heart rate zone was still lower than heart zone #1, by almost 10 bpm. But I'm still taking it especially easy, while getting ready for doing a marathon on May 15th and so that was a perfectly lovely heart rate as far as I was concerned.
