Thanks Scott! I think this is actually a really old post I made, that somehow came up again as new. I know I made it several years ago, not this past October.
An updated thread I made is here: https://evokeendurance.com/forums/topic/drift-test-vs-lactate-measurement/
Based on that thread, I think it’s crucial to have essentially no wait before warmup and workout…. and to also give a pretty long warmup or it can mess with an accurate aet. Another example of that is todays ruck on an incline treadmill.
-18 minute warmup, spent the last 8 minutes at workout pace. Then went right into workout.
-Then 75 minute workout. Drift was 141/133 = 6.1%.
-But…. if I only take the last 60 minutes, then my drift was 141/138 = 2.2%.
-If I only take the last 50 minutes, it was 141/140 = 0.8% (I always round up for my drift, but it was really closer to 0.7%)
