Thank you!
Yes, the test was done with a chest strap. Most of the times I wet the strap, yes.
Then I take 177 as the anaerobic threshold. Regarding the AeT I have to do another test soon anyways.

I did the AnT now outside on a running track:

Anaerobic Threshold Test

Mean heart rate would be 179 bpm. I had 4 days of rest or low-level training. After minute 15 the test started with holding a constant pace until the end (at the beginning of the test with volatile heart rates up to 225 bpm, I am not sure if this was rather a recording problem). Only the last 3-5 minutes I tried to further accelerate but it was not really possible. I was constantly heavily breathing throughout the workout. Perhaps I could have held the pace a bit longer, but it felt like faster would not have been possible for long time.

Thank you Rachel and Scott! Unfortunately, I have not used Strava yet.
I will do the test tomorrow.

Unfortunately there is no steep hill without snow around.
Is in this case the flat running track outside or the treadmill better?

Thank you again Scott for your effort!

Regarding the Aet:
You mean, the test is too short, as the heart rate stabilizes “too late” at minute 20?
I gradually built up speed until the heart rate stabilized in the area of 160 since minute 20. The heart rate from minute 20 to 30 is stable at 158-159 (you think this is near the aerobic threshold?). In the first section from minute 25 to 45 the heart rate is 161, in the second section of 20 minutes my average heart rate is 166. This would be in the 5% range. Yes, but the actual test then was only 45 minutes.

Regarding the AnT:
Thank you for your tip, I will do this test outside again!

Thank you!

For the AeT, I did not change the speed from minuten 15-20 on.

For the AnT, you are right! Minute 29 has to be the moment when I changed the setting lowering the incline and increasing the speed. Afterwards there were 2 or 3 minor increases of the speed as I felt that I was not yet at my aerobic limit.

(even if there is written aerobic threshold run)

Rachelp and Scott, thank you a lot for your helpful answers!

I did the anaerobic threshold test after 2 days of resting and felt good before the test. I phrased that wrong, I was not tired during the warm up, but after 20-25 Minutes of warm up I started the test, and already after 5 minutes I felt my legs, mainly my thighs would not sustain this for 30 minutes, so I lowered the incline from 25% to 10%. But still I mainly felt that my thighs were the limiting factor, not my breath. Possibly, this would be the same, when I did the test again.

Only the last 5 minutes I raised the speed a little bit more resulting in heavier breathing. But I would have not sustained this for many more minutes. Is my anaerobic threshold perhaps rather in the range of 178?

I try to figure out at the moment how the TP links are shown here.. (the link function does not work unfortunately).

Thank you again!
