Cardio load target too low?

[DanKegel]

I'm trying to hit near the top of the cardio load target area, but for one reason or another I often overshoot slightly.

I get the impression it penalizes this by lowering instead of raising my target.  Is that how it works?

It's not a big problem, since I guess I can just ignore the target range.

From what I understand if you overshoot the target often the cardio will ask you to slow down because it thinks you are pushing your body too much so will give you a lower target. From what I've seen on mine I think the aim is to get you to slow down after reaching the goal on many occasions.

Happily, I verified just now that overshooting a little doesn't cause trouble; it raised my target anyway.  So all is well there.
