JB,
I just referred to my 24-week mountaineering plan and for the weeks you mentioned, it is Steep Uphill Hike with your HR in Zone 3 (AeT + 10-15 bpm). For a 1.5 hour workout, it includes 20 min warm-up, 20 min. of Zone 3 followed by easy workout for remaining time.
Hope this is helpful.
ParticipantShashi on November 17, 2020 at 4:54 pm · in reply to: Are these training hours or don’t count #46979Can you share more about the type of workout where you accumulated 5 hours and 15 minutes of recovery or lower HR hours?
If these are part of your outdoor workouts (e.g. hike on hilly terrain), then I would include them in your total training time.
ParticipantI have used Wahoo Tickr with my Coros Apex for the last 11 months and no issues so far.

Welcome to the forum.
Based on what you said, I think you should redo the test at a lower target HR.
Maybe you can do an indoor AeT test on a treadmill. Here is the link to the article on UA about the indoor test –

ParticipantShashi on October 29, 2020 at 10:01 am · in reply to: 2 Drift test in 2 days : same pace / different HR #46392Thank you Paul. UA Coaches might chime in later. Making your workout public and sharing the link might help.
From the images, your tests look good to me.
I have seen the HR bump in my workouts as well. For the same pace, track and warm-up HR is higher for me in the evening (non-fasted) vs. morning (fasted) state.
In terms of which test to use for setting your AeT, I think the recommendation would be to have a consistent approach. For e.g. I always do an AeT test in the morning on a track.
If your previous AeT test was done in the morning, I would be more inclined to use your second test. Given the low Pa:HR, you may want to do the test again in the morning with a higher initial HR (say 150).

ParticipantWelcome to the forum!
I work 9-5 and currently in the last phase of my 24-week mountaineering training. Prior to this, I didn’t have much experience with a structured training program. 2019
trainingexercise volume was probably less than 200 hours. I started with avg. weekly volume of 3.5-4 hours and slowly built up volume over the last few months. Currently, I am able to manage around 10 hours of training/week and it jumps to 15+ hours if I do a long day trip over the weekend.I do have some flexibility in my work schedule, so I can wrap up early on a weekday for a 1.5-hour steep hill hike locally. I live in Vancouver, BC so access to hilly terrain is easier.
Do you have an estimate of your average weekly volume from last year? That should help you get started with the new training plan.
ParticipantI think the recommendation would be to pay attention to your HR and keep it in the desired zone. Stairmaster will also give you a similar effect (elevation gain) but not the same as outdoors.

ParticipantI think the recommendation from coaches is to test every 4-6 weeks. It will also depend on your weekly volume.

What do you think of the 4th experiment?
Not sure if a 2 hour run is recommended for AeT test. If you are doing this just as part of your workout, then stick to the recommended zone (Z1 in your case).
