Off of the 5 zones method, the zone 2 is correct. You mentioned youre doing your zone 2 in the zone 3 area which is too high and inefficient. The zone 3 is a zone for more tempo style runs. Thats also where you would run your longer races on the high end of zone 3 low end of zone 4. Youre not running your long races at threshhold.
This test is a complete joke. Did everything then the last one says 3 minutes @ 190+ beats per minute? Absurd. I couldn't even get my heartbeat close. There goes 34 grueling minutes. For no lactate threshold.
Hey, you should actually pay attention to keep your warm up really in zone 1 or 2 max. From your data I can see that your warm up was almost the same pace and HF as the whole test itself - which actually distorts your test result.
Hi Dave. I done a lactate threshold test on my Garmin watch. After the test my HR zones were now reset to accompany my 153 threshold score. I am currantly 5 weeks into 80/20 training and with these new HR settings i am able to run a little quicker without going above my recommended HR zones. But the thing is my my previous zone 5 was anything above 158, now its anything above 153 thats a 5 bpm decrease. But my lower HR zones have increased so i am able to run slightly quicker and still stay inside my desired zone, if that makes sense. Also there is a change in what my HR zones say. 1 is warm up 2 is easy which then turns to low anaerobic. Does this all sound right ? And will it effect my 80/20 progress which is still in the early stages and i am not seeing the greatest improvements as of yet. Thanks for the help in advance.
Heads up, Garmin's default HR zones go off percentage of users max HR and doesn't align with runners HR training zones. Under user settings, you can change how it calculates HR zones. The other two options are either based off of lactate threshold or percentage of HR reserves. Both give similar results and place zone 2 where it should be for zone 2 training.
6km for 32mins, average pacing is 5mins20sec and this is pretty slow for your age, I am 62 now and for max effort , my 5Km now is around 25mins 20sec around, For 6 km, I think I could run under 32mins. But for your information, my best 5km is just under 20mins and best 10km is 45mins 4 sec at the age of 45 around. Therefore I think your time trail for this 6km is not your max effort.
Thanks for making the video. It explains the test well and I should have watched it before my first test. I did most of the test in Zone 5 :) Will try again in a few days.
I bought the hrm pro plus and connected it to my swim 2.0 watch and the app. Unfortunately it doesnt show anything . The only option is to download data from the strap to the watch and then upload it to the app. That is the only way it works, and it also creates duplication of the specific workout.
Hi i wanna ask question, does the HRM Dual able to perform lactacte threshold test if i pair it with Garmin Instinct 2X solar? the watch ask me to use garmin HRM to perform the test, thanks in advance.

My test said it could not calculate a threshold 🤬🤬🤬 i nearly died in the last 3 minutes

Awesome Jordan Peterson poster 🦞
Can you do the test with a polar sensor and a Garmin fr255?

Good job and well put together. Thank you.
I did my test yesterday and it counldnt detect my lactate três hold as well.
Super helpful - thanks!!
I had problem getting the pulse up on my first test. Gonna do another one maybe on sunday. I got 162bpm and
Great info thanks for sharing

Hi I made this test 30' like if it were a 5km but maybe a little slow just to keep the whole 30' at a pace.

How much off was your estimated lactate threshold from the optical sensor?
