Reply To: Repeat AeT drift test data makes no sense

Great Jack, thanks very much.

I will restest and use my AeT as the ceiling for my runs but keep using RPE for feeling off days, even if my heart rate is below or above AeT if a run feels too easy or too hard then lower/increase the intensity accordingly.

My current pace at AeT is quite slow (7m/km, 11:20/mile I think) so doing more AeT training should not be a problem.

Just a quick one, my main goal this year will be in august, going to the alps and doing some 4000 meter peaks with not much technical difficulty (PD or AD-), will keeping high frequency with lower duration still be ok up to lets say May/June and increase the duration for the last couple of months (I will be able to get out into the mountains more often then to do longer days).

Another thing that comes to mind, is it worth it for me to do an AnT test to know my AnT ceiling other than for information purposes? In case yes, should I wait until my recovery week to do the test in a couple of weeks?

Thanks a million again,

Ander.
