About Peak Intervals: Norwegian 4x4
Peak Intervals guides two endurance workouts on Apple Watch: the Norwegian 4x4 to train your VO₂ max, and steady Zone 2 sessions to build your aerobic base. Your iPhone follows along live and shows how each session went. Guided workouts need Apple Watch and a Peak Intervals Pro subscription, with a 2-week free trial where available. History, Trends and the analysis of your Apple Health workouts are free. NORWEGIAN 4x4 • Four 4-minute intervals at 90–95% of your max heart rate, with 3-minute recoveries. • Live guidance keeps you in the zone: haptic cues on your wrist, and voice cues with headphones. • Afterwards, see whether you reached the zone quickly, stayed in it during every interval, held your pace or power from the first interval to the last, and how fast your heart rate came down in each recovery. ZONE 2 • Run, ride, row or walk on an incline, indoors or outdoors, with a guided warm-up and cool-down. • An alert tells you when you drift out of the zone, and a talk test at 15 minutes asks how the effort feels. • Afterwards, see how much of the session you spent in the zone, whether your heart rate crept up at the same effort (decoupling), and how your power or pace at Zone 2 heart rate compares with your last session of the same activity. ZONES THAT FIT YOU • Your max heart rate starts from an age estimate and goes up if a recent workout in Apple Health reached a higher heart rate. • Zone 2 uses your Apple Health heart rate zones on iOS 27, or your resting and max heart rate. • Your talk test answers help tune the zone: after three easy sessions the app offers to raise it, and when talking gets hard it offers to lower it. You decide. TRENDS AND HISTORY • Compare your last 3 sessions with the 3 before, with a clear verdict such as Improving or Stable. • See your VO₂ max and resting heart rate from Apple Health next to your training. • Every session in one place, including workouts from Apple Health. • Share a session as a story or post, with your own photo in the background. APPLE WATCH AND iPHONE Workouts start and record on Apple Watch. Your iPhone follows live, also on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Apple Health Peak Intervals reads workout and heart rate data from Apple Health (HealthKit) to calculate your metrics and trends. You control what is shared at any time in iOS Settings. Subscriptions Peak Intervals offers an auto-renewing subscription with monthly and yearly plans, including a 2-week free trial where available. After the trial, an active subscription is required to start new workouts. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in App Store account settings. Peak Intervals is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. High-intensity exercise may not be appropriate for everyone. Consult a physician before beginning a new training program.

What’s new
Version 2.0.1 · Updated September 29, 2026
Zone 2 is here. Build your aerobic base alongside your 4x4, with Apple Watch guiding you. ZONE 2 • Run, ride, row or walk on an incline in your Zone 2, indoors or outdoors, with a guided warm-up and cool-down. • Apple Watch lets you know when you drift out of the zone, and a talk test at 15 minutes checks how the effort feels. • Your zone comes from your Apple Health heart rate zones on iOS 27, or from your resting and max heart rate. When sessions feel easy, the app suggests raising it. • After each session: time in zone with a clear verdict, heart rate with power or pace, decoupling, and your power or pace at Zone 2 heart rate compared with your last session of the same activity. • Heart rate sensor glitches are filtered out of your numbers. • iPhone follows Zone 2 workouts live, and the Live Activity turns blue. HOME, TRENDS AND HISTORY • Switch between 4x4 and Zone 2 on Home, Trends and History. • Your fitness: VO₂ max and resting heart rate from Apple Health, side by side on Home. • Zone 2 Trends: decoupling, time in zone, resting heart rate and Zone 2 minutes per week. The 4x4 view now shows your Apple Health cards too. APPLE WATCH • A new start screen: pick 4x4 or Zone 2 and change the options right on your wrist. • A 3-2-1 countdown before every workout. • End a 4x4 during the warm-up and choose whether to save it. • Fixes an error message that could appear right after you end a workout. ALSO NEW • A redesigned onboarding that builds your heart rate zones from Apple Health, including your max heart rate from your hardest recent workout. • Share any session as a story or a post, with your own photo in the background. • Settings now explain how your max heart rate is set.
