I wouldn’t over think it too much, there is a great deal of genetic variation in heart rate.

Like you’ve planned, conduct a HR Drift test: 5% drift is top of your AET

Conduct a DIY AnT test.

Get these two numbers and train accordingly.

It doesn’t matter if you’re aerobically deficient or anaerobically efficient, it is what it is, these numbers will guide you.

at the end of each training block, retest, assess results, modify training as needed.

Hey Tyler,

I’ve had a similar situation. What it came down to for me was that nose breathing is generally only a good indicator in highly trained athletes and that HR drift testing can show low pa:hr percents at anaerobic threshold for some reason.

Have you done an AnT test to find your anaerobic threshold, as the hr drift test may have just been testing that.

I’d recommend trying a pa:hr drift test at a lower HR, say 150 and check those and then another a few days later if it was too low.

Runalyze has a lot of the same stuff as training peaks, but it’s free

I figured I’d just do a flat heart rate drift test.

Average heart rate: 147
Average pace: 5.08 min/km
PA:HR: +0.1%

This felt hard on my legs, not really use to running around a flat track. Where as I feel that this heart rate on a hill is quite easy/moderate.

But I’m guessing my aet is going to be a bit higher than 150 based on the <5%?

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the reply and information. I think time might be best for the local undulating trails I have nearby, hopefully by the specific weeks isolation will be more relaxed and I can get to some elevation.

On that note, for early base period, i would do 20% weekly time and 40% weekly time on the last two training days of the week, however during intensity weeks would it be prudent to move the 20% day to mid week instead, due to added intensity load?
