That’s crazy, thanks for the response and perspective Scott, I have to figure this one out because it’s nuts when you think about MAF method of 180 minus age +5 would put me at 138-143 HR for top of zone 2!
Jack thank you sir, yes makes sense, perfect. Yes and definitely trying to replicate as I’m doing mountain races (Ultra Tour Beaufortain 7k meters vert in 110k mid-July).
The only other quick follow-up is I’m 2 weeks out from race, do you still recommend to do them on stair-stepper vs uphill treadmill, I have both but wonder if its risky for fatigue doing stair stepper vs a slightly less muscle impact on uphill treadmill. I don’t have enough vert outside my house to do on trail over next couple weeks – so gym it is!
Thanks again for all the great content.
Ok thank you Scott – I’ll keep trying in this low 150s range, definitely feel the breathing change right about then so it must be close.
I’d just second what’s being said here so would be interested in Scott’s (Evoke) take — I can run higher bpm in low 150’s and have Pa:Hr < 5% , in fact close to 1.0%. However nose breathing is difficult to sustain for an entire hour or so.
So my added question to this: is nose breathing a requirement threshold for AeT?
