I’m in week 6 of the 24 week mountaineering program right now and just re-did my AeT drift test. I aimed a bit higher than I should have and ended up with 6.4% drift with a starting HR of 150.
1) Do you recommend I redo the AeT test again? Or maybe do a lower estimate of my AeT based on these results? Maybe AeT 146-7?
Last week’s 30 min anaerobic threshold test I ended up with an avg HR of 171. However, for this AeT drift test for the second half of the test I had an avg HR of 172. This second half was much harder to gut through than last weeks anaerobic threshold test and felt much more like a sustained max effort.
2)Is it normal to get this close to the anaereobic threshold for so long during a AeT drift test? Should I change my anaerobic thershold to 172 based on how I performed on the second half of this test?
My original AeT drift test had a starting HR of 141 and 4.7% drift. Now I generally finish my aerobic work at that test pace while staying in Z2 so I’m definitely improving. I’m super grateful for this program and the knowledge base Evoke Endurance provides!
