Yup, the hour test was what I was brought up on. I started using HR monitors back in 1979 at Uni. You need to do the FTP in each sport you compete in. In my case that was running, cycling and Nordic skiing. There might be 5-7 beat per minute difference depending on your muscle specificity, the season and the sport being tested. (30min, 1 hr, 2hr, and 4hr I knew my HR that I would race within 5 beats.)

Hi I made this test 30' like if it were a 5km but maybe a little slow just to keep the whole 30' at a pace.
Is it ok like that?
The last 20', heart rate 174, at a pace of 5:37 per km
So tell me if am ok?
174x0.95=165bpm this would be sub threshold.
And 174 x0.99= 172bpm
There is a zone 5a called super threshold from Joe friels from 100%-102% 174-177bpm
Though running 3x10' tempo a would keep the heart rate from 165-172.
Now the pace i run is 5:37 x 1.05%=5:53>from 5:37-5:04 although sometime also 5:15 when in the place I run there is 200 elevation of 3% so in this way I don't let the heart rate to go up 176 maximum
