Yes that was a typo,,,meant 3.5%. I picked 4.5% On the next attempt Because 3.5 mph is a comfortable walking pace and the only way to increase my heart rate to where I wanted to be for the test was to increase the incline. I’m not a runner, more of a hiker. I was definitely trying to use hiking as the basis for the test. Should I try and get my heart rate up towards 115 or 120 for the test? Do those last two graphs pretty much mean nothing or is there any type of help there to help me figure out my Aet? My goal here is to Hopefully get a close idea of what my zones are.

So I guess I will try this test again but I will put the treadmill at at least 15% and I will set the pace for whatever has my heart rate around 115-ish and then do it for 2 1/2 hour blocks.

I just reread the instructions and Sure enough it says to start at 10% grade at least. Not sure how I missed that but thanks for the tips

So here is a repeat test. The first graph is the first half hour the second graph is the second half hour. There’s really no difference between them. I tried to start the test when I was about 110 bpm. I had set the treadmill at 4.5% grade and 3.5 miles per. If I go by the average, there is essentially no difference so perhaps aerobic threshold is higher than I would’ve thought. I didn’t sweat that much just my forehead essentially and I was mouth breathing but not hard

Hi dada

I will do the test in 2 halves next and will try it at 115 bpm

My Maffetone based on age is 125

The other day I took pushed myself hard at a spin class and only got my max heart rate to 140.

I haven’t really trained at all for a couple years but I haven’t been sick or injured. I get most of my exercise taking my dog for hikes. I have not tried the anT test yet

Thanks for your response

as far as the weightlifting, it was only arms and while walking on the treadmill, my arms just dangled there the whole time, would it really make that much of a difference? maybe i will try it again.

i was just going to post similiar question,,, don’t want to clutter up forum with same question but also don’t want to hijack this thread. did not see in drift test insruction that i needed AnT,,,will have to figure out what that is.

is it possible to get a good idea from a drift test by just posting a description on here,,, as in i didn’t record it but just kinda memorized the numbers (bpm’s range)?
