Can I use test results from one sport, like cycling, and use it for another, like running?
While there are some general patterns of how the metabolic demands of one sport relate to another, we don’t suggest using test results from one sport for training in another. For example, if an athlete is equally economical and has an equal training history and experience in running and cycling, we know that on average a running AT will be around ten beats per minute higher than a cycling AT. This is a rough generalization relating ATs, and does not at all address an aerobic profile. An athlete can have identical running and cycling ATs, but have Aerobic Profiles so drastically different between that they would need to train at very different intensities, or Zones, in one sport versus the other.
