My guess is these paces are so far below your actual Aet that you’re just seeing the results of being finally warmed up and your body being more efficient over time.  (it takes forever to warm up at sub 100 bpm HRs).  Most of our athletes target something around 180-age for their initial drift as an AeT estimate if they don’t have any previous data to lean on.
