Do you mean that’s what the lab test said?
Right, sorry, should have made that more clear. The notes on the ‘Aerobic base run’ runs from Luke’s Ultra Plan, say:
Complete full run @ 80-100% of Aerobic Threshold HR.
Cool thanks for clearing that up!

Good question, I work as a tree surgeon and have always wondered how much of an impact climbing and saw work during the day is impacting my running in the evening. The approach I’ve taken has been to be very conservative with progression and goals.
ParticipantThanks for the response! Yeah I felt like trying to keep my heart rate bob on a certain bpm was silly and have tended to just pick a 5 bpm range. Plus it saves me staring at my watch which isn’t super fun.
I actually managed to get a lab test done. All the money I saved by not travelling due to the pandemic made it more realistic.
The test was very interesting and I’m currently digesting the results. This may be too big an ask, but if anyone was curious and wanted to skim over the pdf I’d love to hear your input. All input is welcome, including comments on the presentation etc. Ah the pdf is too large so I’ll leave.
The intersting bit in the context of this thread are:
Lactate threshold (LT) 1/Zone 2: 139-147 bpm.
LT 2/Zone 4: 167-181I have a few questions regarding using the info from the test in trainingpeaks and in my running:
I’m taking from this that my AeT is 139-147 bpm and my AnT is 167-181 bpm?
The aerboic base runs say to run at 80-100% of AeT, but 80% of 147 is 117. Am I working this out right? 117 is well below the zone 1 heart rate from the test, 139 bpm. Would I ok just running aerobic runs in the 140s and the recover runs in the 130s?
ParticipantNo worries!
ParticipantThis is my retest. Not sure what happened. I’m just going to use 140ish as the top of my zone 2 for now. Am hoping the gyms here will reopen in December so I can retest on a treadmill or something.

It seem TP calculates it all a bit higher!
I can’t speak on what causes the jump.

ParticipantJust the file into TP for you, hope you don’t mind I can delete the post if you want! This is what it comes out with.
ParticipantThe forum is telling my there’s a reply here by Diana, but I can’t see it?
ParticipantBrilliant!
Thanks again, I appreciate the guidance.
ParticipantHad another crack at this today!
135 bmp was an odd pace so it took some concentration to keep it things there but it looks like I managed.
The 1 hour lap came out with a pa:HR of 1%, so I guess retest at 140?

You must be logged in to view attached files.ParticipantThank you for the response! Yeah I’m very limited when it come to controlled terrain. I stuck to roads as much as possible to avoid the quagmire we have round here atm. I had a proper lab test lined up but as my country has now hit lockdown 2.0 it got shelved.
I will try the test again tomorrow at 135 and see what the results are like. After that I’ll scout out a flatter route.
