Just did my 1st Carmichael 3 mile field test this morning and was wondering a few things.
1. Anyone else here using this test?
2. How reliable is this test for estimating LT?
3. My average HR was 173 however over the last 5 minutes of each effort my HR was 175-177. The average was lower because of the lag in HR response at the beginning of the test. Should I use the higher or lower numbers?
4. Are there any other field tests you all recommend or use yourself?
TIA,
James
