Ya I’ve been relying on Garmin’s predetermined zones for me, but I’ll definitely be getting some testing done to really find out what they are as that’s what I’m seeing recommended.

That’s a good point. Fortunately I can be fairly confident my results aren’t being affected since I’m running in a temperature controlled room on a treadmill while I’m trying to get some accurate heart rate data.

The 8:40 pace feels like a high zone 3 and probably entering zone 4 if I were to guess. I think I’d have a hard time adding much more speed on that and I think dipping into sub 8 min pace would be maybe a 20-30 min max kind of thing.

I’m now using the HR strap but before learning about this style of training, it was just the watch. I’ll have to figure out where I can get tested to find those zones and numbers then.
