Reply To: Repeat AeT drift test data makes no sense
Yes, that is correct. My concern is whether or not I did something wrong during the test.
I am able to do 1 hour with nose breathing without problems, like it does not become super difficult to breath through my nose but it’s definitely not as easy as when I was running below 165 bpm.
Also I don’t think I would be able to hold a conversation without having to stop talking for air every sentence or so, nothing like every word but I don’t think I could carry out a conversation non stop running at 168-170, that’s mostly where my concern comes from, wondering if this sort of intensity/RPE is ok/normal while running under AeT.
Another question is due to time constraints I’ve had to split my longer sessions into 2. I’m currently running 3 days 1 hour and a third day of 30 minutes. Should I make this 4th day a recovery (Z1) day or should I keep it as Z2 (AeT)? I’m planning on slowly increasing the duration of those other 3 runs I just don’t have the time right now.

Ander.
