Hi Scott,
What I meant was my muscles were really sore and right after – for a couple of days. My avg heart rate for that run a t a conversational pace was 138. My MAF is 120. The thought is that my starting hr (about 136) was too low and thus the reason for negative hr:p. So for a ballpark to work with until I can do the test again, what would you recommend?

I did do it on flat terrain at an easy jog. I have the polar H10. I did it exactly as explained. I kept it slow to keep it at conversational pace for an hour. I haven’t been running recently so I am now feeling it big time. I am just going with my avg hr of 138. I’ll figure it out from there. Thanks for your help. Perhaps I’m not cut out to be so precise
That is what I don’t understand. My pace dropped to keep my hr consistent. I am completely confused and discouraged. At this point I am just using MAF.
brettmama on March 6, 2021 at 7:06 pm · in reply to: AeT Heart Rate Drift Test – Negative Result #51643Can you confirm what is most important about the test? Pace or HR being consistent?? I feel like every article I read says something different. The data for first 30 minutes comes out with a P:hr of 4.27% with avg HR 138 and max 144. The data for second 30 minutes is a P:hr of -4.025 with avg HR 139, and max 144. I made it public, but the link doesn’t seem to be working to share. Was my HR too low??? This is frustratingly confusing for me. I am not an elite athlete, I just want to train well for an August climb. This feels like a really hard class in school and it is discouraging since I can’t even understand day 1. Any help would be appreciated.
Alex,
I warmed up for 15 minutes before I started recording the hour run. I ran at a pace I could converse at- comfortable and easy. I tried to keep my heart rate consistent , so altered my pace. Did I do it incorrectly? My average rate was 138 bpm. My max was 144. Is there a way to figure what my Aet should be from this? Or do I ha e to do this over, and if so, what do I do differently. I did do it outsidehttp://tpks.ws/TC7NVLBWTOHSVTI4FEYTRMETSU
And I made it public. Thank you!!!!I have no idea how to interpret my heart rate drift test, despite watching video a bunch of times. I understood the test instructions to say to keep your heart rate as close to your rate when it first stabilized. So I did that, altering my pace to do so. The first half of my run, shows a 4ish% pa;hr. The second half shows a negative. And my pa;hr overall was -2.22%. So I am completely lost here. Any help would be welcomed. I will try to attach my file here.
