Thanks for replying, Garrett!

It looks like your test is only about 35 mins – you should make it an hour.

It was 45 minutes (I didn’t include the 15 minutes of warm-up in the activity I linked to and some of it was done off the track). I did this because I had read that a slightly shorter test can be useful if you haven’t been frequently completing runs that are >= 1.25 hours in length.

I’m planning to do an AnT test this week, but I guess I’m a bit confused. If HR drift is expected to be low at AnT and the goal of an AeT test is to run a constant pace at a constant heart rate, how do you know you’re running “easy enough?” Are there any other plateaus where Pa:HR is expected to be low? Or should I really just focus on the feeling that I’m running a pace I can keep up “for hours?” Aka, marathon pace?

Other info that might be helpful:
* I used a Wahoo Tickr X chest strap for measure my heart rate.
* If you look at the TP activity, the elevation gain and loss is very wrong. Not sure what the Wahoo Fitness App calculated there, but it was almost entirely flat.
* While I didn’t use any “Track Mode” on my watch as recommended here (https://uphillathlete.com/running-tracks-and-gps-watches/), I was checking on every lap that my Wahoo App was measuring in either 0.24 or 0.25 mile increments from the previous lap.

Thanks, Pete! I’ll ease back for a few days, switch to the bike later in the week, and see if it improves by the weekend.

Right now I still feel pain/discomfort in my left calf just walking around, 52 hours after last exercise.

Hi Dada – Thanks for the reply!

For #1, I would expect to feel pain in my Achilles too, right? My Achilles feels completely fine. Discomfort is located in the middle of the calf muscle.

I’ve been rolling daily, but I will try resting completely and wearing compression socks.

Thanks!
