Scott, I have not done a AnT HR test, but will try. I’m fairly sure it is below 174, since I can’t even keep that HR for less than 40 seconds on a high intensity uphill interval.

Thank you Steve for that very in depth and helpful insight.
Agree with your #1, but unfortunately I can’t afford a gym membership to use a treadmill but will try to get another AeT test in, and a AnT test as well.
Agree, I’ll add in some AnT workouts to be 10-20% of my training time and hopefully that will see some changes.
Luckily all of this slow running has kept me injury free, and I have to admit it’s been great to run 4+ hours and come home feeling only a little tired. So positive results mentally, and maybe with your suggestion of some more AnT work I might actually have a chance of staying ahead of the cut-off times during the (very hilly) ultra coming up.
So thanks again for that advice !
Cheers.

Thanks Dada, I will try to add in some HIIT along with LIT zone 1/2 training. I was worried doing HIIT might adversely affect my LIT, but I guess after 16 months of no change I have nothing to lose at this point.
