Ellena;
Both max HR and HR response to exercise are highly variable from individual to individual. With a max HR of 212, your AeT and AnT numbers make sense. It is good that you have tested these things. From these tests, you can see why relying on formulas like 220 minus your age is not a good idea. Same with using the kinds of zone settings based on a percentage of your max HR. Getting your own personal HR data will allow you to personalize your training most effectively. While a max HR of over 200 is probably only exhibited in less than 10% of athletes, it is not unheard of and there is nothing wrong with you.
One of our coaches, Maya, when she was ski racing, had an AeT of about 190 with an AnT of 195 and a max HR of 210.
Keep training that aerobic base to raise your AeT.
