supposedly threshold, it did up the intensity as I went through as soon as I worked out that what I was doing was sustainable, so I would expect it to be higher if I did the test again, as I'd start a bit harder.
Regarding 80% max HR, I agree I could have gone harder, but bear in mind I'm pretty fatigued, as I've already done a tempo run today, with Hill intervals last night, Swimming training on Monday, a half marathon on Sunday and 60 miles of cycling on Saturday, so getting my heart rate much higher than that is very difficult!
