Thanks, Scott! I’m pretty sure I do have ADS since I had been doing high intensity interval training and running in Zones 3 and higher, so won’t do the AnT test just yet, since the goal is to train under AeT and try to raise it. Thanks so much!!!

There are no days provisioned for AnT tests and subsequent AeT and AnT tests, like there is for the very first AeT test. When I do these tests periodically, can I substitute them for aerobic tests in the Plan or should I do them in addition to them?
ParticipantI have done the AeT test (as above) but not the AnT test yet. When should I do the AnT test, how often should I do both these tests and how close to each other should the tests be as far as timeframe (eg. should one be done within 3-4 days of the other)? It does look like I will need a separate day for each test.
I start Week 3 of the 24-week Plan on Monday.
Thanks!!!
ParticipantActually, the article “Making the most of your UA Training Plans” on this website answers my questions quite well. I will delete all the Zone 5s.
Thanks so much!!!
ParticipantThanks. I started the test after about 14 minutes, when I thought my HR had stabilized but should have waited a little longer. I’m glad I was able to get a good enough test to be able to determine my AeT.
So I set the top of my Zone 2 at 142 and the top of Zone 1 at 128 (see attachment). I need to do an AnT test to set the top of Zone 3. What value should I put in the “Threshold HR” box (is that AnT)? Do delete Zone 5 completely?
My Killer Core and Strength Training workouts are going well…:-)
Thanks so much!

ParticipantThis test should work. I set the treadmill incline at 3.0 and speed at 4.3 and didn’t change them throughout the hour, running at what I felt was a comfortable pace. I think I can go with 142 as my AeT? The MAF formula gives it as 126.

ParticipantPerfect, thanks!!! I have found that I reach an easy aerobic effort at a lower HR on the treadmill than I do outdoors. Is it because the treadmill tends to do part of the work since the belt is moving?
Sorry for all the questions, but I want to get this crucial metric right. Thanks!
ParticipantThanks so much for your valued inputs. I will do a treadmill and an outdoor test to get a consistent AeT.
ParticipantWhat podcast is this? I couldn’t see one in the posts.
ParticipantCorrection: it would be SO helpful and appreciated if you guys CAN discuss and respond…
Clarification: I used the Garmin watch and chest strap HR monitor each time.
ParticipantYes, please, that would be awesome! To answer your questions, I did use a chest strap HR monitor and Garmin Forerunner 735XT. The reason the second AeT was only 45 minutes was that my Garmin was running out of battery and I didn’t want it to just stop and not upload to TP.
The reason I did the second AeT was because the first one gave me a pa:HR of 7.5% so wanted to see if I could get the second one under 5% (that came in at 8%).
It would be SO helpful and appreciated if you guys can’t discuss and respond. Do I need to do another AeT test? Thanks so much!
ParticipantMy goal is hiking and mountain climbing. I also love to run. Thanks!
