What workouts do you all do for high anaerobic benefits?

ezoo7x from what I have seen in the forums here people struggle to get high anaerobic scores even with very intense anaerobic efforts. I'm not sure of the value of either of the scores tbh and don't use them at all in guiding my training.

For workout tips and benefits you should look for a personal trainer and make a plan for your goals and current fitness level... Its dangerous to make random workouts just to reach a score on your watch, etc...

Another think that improve this score is to have a stable VO2max and if you have HRM-Run you can have you Lactate Threshold HR too...

Anyway to understand the Garmin Training Effect score you can read here -> https://www.garmin.com/en-US/performance-data/running/

ezoo7x what are your training goals - general fitness, weight loss, running 100M etc - as per DrGabrielSilva chasing numbers on a watch with no clear goal is at best pointless and at worst dangerous.

Personal trainer could be helpful (but expensive :) ) Depending on your aims joining a club might be helpful - tell us a bit about what you are trying to achieve. Also for the aerobic and anaerobic values to be vaguely correct it is important that your HR zones and maximum HR are set accurately.

Funny you should mention this, because yesterday I noticed that for my 3.5 mile run, I received a 4.5 aerobic training effect, and a 4.7 anaerobic training effect! I have no idea how that happened, since I wasn't doing intervals or anything. It was my first run after a two-week layoff from injury, though, so I was probably running faster than I should've for my fitness level, and my heart rate was probably higher than it would've been in a run before my layoff. But as the others have said, it's just a number on a watch. Before yesterday, I'd get 1.0 or less on my runs.

Ten minute warm up slow jog, 5 minute nice medium pace. 1 minutes rest.
One minute maximum ball busting speed (approach MaxHR or at least well over lactate threshold) then 2 minutes stop rest. Repeat 22 times.
Ten minutes cool down on the way to the hospital.
Don't forget tissues to wipe off the vomit.

This should get you a 5 on anaerobic TE.

Funny. I randomly get small anaerobic benefits from pretty easily workouts. Seems like the general consensus is the anaerobic benefit is somewhat wacky only the watch.

Sounds tough i will give it a shot sometime. Thanks.

Today I ran one-tenth of a mile less than yesterday, at a pace one second faster per mile than yesterday. And I got 0.0 anaerobic TE. So I dunno.

Old post but I do 1mile easy dynamic stretch then.  3x800m hard with 800m Slow jog/shuffle recoveries, then 3x400 hard with 400m jog shuffle recoveries, the 3x200 hard with 200m recoveries.  1 mile cool down.  that puts me in the high 3.Xs on anerobic.  Run the intervals as hard as you can but maintaining a level pace.  This won't break you.  you can do this regularly.

Trippy Zs workout is one I do too.  but I do 30x 200s...... It will get you in the 4.Xs.  If you aren't in shape DONT DO IT.  this is a peak training cycle type run.  You can get hurt.  The 1:00 time on his would pump this up to 5.0  stick to the 200s.  respect the rest between reps.
