couple of things:
1. your warmup was N/A in your last test? why? did you skip the warmup? if I skipped the warmup my drift test would be completely invalid. when I do a 60 AeT drift test on a treadmill, I warmup for at least 20 mins. I start off jogging and work up to my target AeT test HR. I want to be at the target HR for at least 5-8 minutes before the 60 min test starts.
eg. my AeT based on drift tests is around 158 . with a proper warmup I can run 60 minutes and be within 2-3 bpm of that 158 target
FYI. – 2 years ago my ADS was so bad I could not run in Z1. I had to run/walk. I had done that to myself with way too much anaerobic training. after getting my Evoke coach, he had me doing high volume Z1 work for a full year. because of that my AeT went from 130 to 158…and it was only then tat I could reliably nail a drift test
