Hi Seth,

Thanks for the information and suggestions; very helpful. This past week I decided to bring my calories back up to maintenance and saw a notable increase in my pace at the same heartrate in the 6 mile runs. Seems the deficit was likely the culprit…good to know and set my expectations correctly. I also completed another HR Drift test this morning (did it on a track as I don’t have access to a treadmill) at ~135 bpm and had a 4.1% drift. Glad to have the AeT effort more dialed in.

If in the future I see my pace declining but calories are at maintenance, I will try to deload/drop volume as you recommend. Thanks again for the information.

Henry
