Assessments Overview

Each progressive assessment, starting with the beginner one, gets more accurate. The 7.5 minute one is ideally for the non-athlete, is for setting mostly the lower 3 zones. The 10 minute is supposed to be a quick assessment to help, in a given activity, set your zones too. Running, at 10 minutes, ramping up like hopefully the prompts do, you should be close to max.

Note - make sure you have a fairly accurate Resting Pulse going into the assessment. All results will benefit as a result.

The 30 minute critical power test, where you go as fast as you steadily can for 30 minutes, is really the best assessment for those who can maintain 30 minutes solid-state / hard. 

For some, re-doing the 10 minute one is good. It is tough, especially the first time, to judge the stages. After doing it once or twice, understanding your personal ramp-up to Max HR is a little deeper and results in better results.
