Hi Shashi and Scott!
I am using a Garmin Forerunner 245 with a chest strap, and I have a Training Peaks Account.
Here you will find my 6th, 7th and 8th AeT tests.
A couple of notes on the tests:
– The warm-up is included and lasts for exactly 30min on all the tests. I slowly ramp up to the test speed and incline, and the last 7min of the warm-up is at the same level as the actual test.
– The 8th test includes a 30min wind down at the end in (what I thought was) zone 1.
– The actual test is therefore exactly from 30min to 90 min.
I sleep really poorly sometimes. I’m kind of use to it but this probably affects recovery. Other than that I have no issue with recovery on these tests. The first few tests was done just days apart, but I didn’t feel that was a problem.
Apart from the last test, these tests have not been hard from a cardio stand point. I feel it more in my muscles from walking fast at 15%.
In all the tests I have not had any problems talking in full sentences, except for the second half of the last test.I am not able to nose breathe fully on these tests, especially not the last test.
Yesterday (the day after the last test), I did another 2h on the treadmill. I tried to keep it at 137-140, but in order to do that I had to walk at 15% and 5,5km/h. felt it in my muscles, not so much cardio-wise.
