Thanks Mark! Thats super helpful & thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I was a bit thrown off by the steady HR throughout the test & its interesting to see what an impact even those few meters of rise and fall make. When I saw the drift I thought that I must be reading the test wrong lol.

Thanks for the guidance Mark.

This is a super timely post for me as I was laid out all last week with a cold so ended up deferring the program by a week & am working though the drift test just now.

For me I did the drift test over about 1:30 outside & at about 140bpm average for the test proper (targeting 142bpm) I noticed that I had about 1.38% drift.

My takeaway is to redo the test targeting 148-150bpm & see what the result is.

Has anyone else had trouble keeping the drift test pace? I find that if I run my HR goes to about 167-175bpm, but I’m having to power walk to get to the 142bpm range that the math says I should be targeting.

Any tips on pacing for the drift test? I think I just need to learn to run slower… but that’s a skill I still need to learn…

Hi Jane,

I actually had a subscription to both – can you pause that subscription while I am in the group?

Hey Mark,

I’m in the same boat as Kurt in that I just came back from a week in the mountains and ended up with an epic cold! I’ve been wiped out this week, so sounds like the thing is to defer this weeks training to next week.

Hi – I also just signed up for the fall group and am new to UA!

I was wondering what equipment will be needed for the training – I’m new to weight training & want to get a sense of if I should be investing in a gym membership for some of the workouts?
