Definition of "High Aerobic"?

Trying to find the HR zone or Max HR % that is considered High Aerobic, specifically for running. I frequently try to push closer to my lactate threshold when I'm in a "high aerobic shortage" but it just usually adds to my Low Aerobic.

HR Zone 5 intervals should do the trick. I personally find it harder and harder to generate anaerobic impact while running, and resort to cycling to fill in the balance. With the combination of a warm up plus cool down, how short the running intervals are, and how quickly my HR recovers I find that most sprint workouts for running get logged as base for me...

According to the training effect stats:

High-Intensity Improvements

Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at a very high intensity. Repeated high-intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have an especially beneficial impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an anaerobic Training Effect.

If you have more than one activity in a day, Garmin Connect will display your highest anaerobic Training Effect value in graphs where it appears.
