Reed- thanks for the help. I’m training for longevity, rather than a specific race/time, and had been sticking to the non-adjusted MAF (180-Age), which was 138. Like you said, I’d rather be conservative. So even 140 feels a bit liberating, especially on hot days.

Thanks- he did say a first lactate test is often strange because we don’t know where to focus or how my body will react. Assuming #’s are correct, would it be fair to treat 145 at the absolute top of zone 2?

To add context: we did our steps based on target heart rate, not pace. The above tabular:
Time(mm)/HR/Lactate
0/60/1.4
20/123/1.7
30/128/4.3
40/140/2.7
45/145/1.4
55/160/5.7
65/170/6.6
