I'm fairly sure my max is set about right - but I think that target threshold HR is too high for me (regardless of whether or not it's my actual lactate threshold, it's way too hard for me to run at for more than a minute or so). As I mentioned earlier, it has access to almost a decade of my training data - so it's not that it hasn't got it, it's just ignoring it.

Badger 22 Feb 4:31pm, 22 Feb 2025 17,719 posts	Quote Pin Badger Last 15 minutes of my 10k PB were 85 to 93% , and that was all out with plenty of cardiac drift. Last 6 minutes of my 5k PB ditto. Takes a while to get the rate up there in the first place. Maybe my max HR has come down more than I realise, but I still reckon that sounds like a tough session, even if you're not dealing with long Covid. Or maybe I'm just a wimp 🙂
SPR 22 Feb 4:40pm, 22 Feb 2025 47,124 posts	Quote Pin SPR 85-90% is a high effort, I don't think I've ever seen Garmin suggestion suggest anything that high for me but obviously the coaching plans might have various philosophies. You can set your LT on the watch though (there are two settings, general and running) if it is using that. There's also a setting for what zones are based on, mine is set to be based on %age of MHR. It's also not threshold if it's a HR that isn't sustainable for a hour race which is the general guideline for threshold.
