Thought I’d follow up in case it is helpful for anyone who finds this.

I spent the last ~3-4 weeks of training doing weekly hill sprint and uphill ME intervals running on a 30-40% grade. Today, I re-did my lactate threshold test and was really pleased with the results. I was able to maintain a running pace on a ~9% grade for the full test and didn’t feel like I was slowed down by heavy legs. I ended up with an average HR of 180 bpm for the duration of the test (up from 172 four weeks ago). with an AnT of 180 and a AeT of 168, I feel like that’s a much more reasonable spread of ~7%.

Thanks, Scott!
