Formula

AT HR = Max HR x threshold% (80-92% depending on fitness) | AT Pace ~ 10K race pace

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the anaerobic threshold?
The anaerobic threshold (AT) is the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood faster than it can be cleared. Below AT, exercise can be sustained for long periods. Above AT, fatigue sets in rapidly.
How do I find my anaerobic threshold?
Lab tests (blood lactate) are most accurate. Field estimates include: ~85% of max HR for intermediate athletes, your 10K race pace, or the pace you can sustain for about 60 minutes all-out.
