Hi,
thanks to Uphill Athlete training advice i managed to get my AnT up from 164 to 173 in my latest threshold test today. thanks for making this possible.

For expectation management: My maximum heart rate is 190. Based on your experiences, how close to the maximum heart rate can I push my AnT in the future approximately? for the difference between the AeT and the AnT we have the 10% test. Are there similar figures available for AnT vs. HFmax?

thanks a lot in advance!

Marcel

I’m not sure. It’s not something that I’ve ever focused on. Speed at AnT is a better performance metric.

You’re already at ~91%, so I suspect you won’t see much change in heart rate. However, speed can continue to improve for years.

Hi Scott,
thank you for your feedback. Will work on speed for sure.

To be clear, I meant that your speed at all intensities can continue to improve. I didn’t want you to think that you should just train high-intensity speed.

@Scott: totally understood & thanks for clarification. just wanted to point out that i got the point that difference between AnT and HFmax is no useful indicator for tracking progress.
