I realized now, that a similar approach (running very easy) comes from Phil Maffetone with his 180 Formula.

In the middle of this text it is written:
MAF HR and Test
The MAF HR is a submax intensity useful for both training and submax testing. It corresponds closely with physiological laboratory measures, including:
- Aerobic threshold (Aer T).
- Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation (OBLA).
- Fatmax (the highest level of fat oxidation, which occurs during submax activity).

I thought AeT was around 85% of HR max, and 2 mmol. This too high an intensity for everyday easy running.
wow lexel you mean there are TWO different coaches who advocate mostly easy running? That's insane

With Onset of Bloot Lactate he means the first raise above baseline, which is typically around 60-70%HRmax. He calls that Aerobic Threshold. (Other define the 2mmol as aerobic threshold, which is near 80%HRmax not 85%.) There are different definitons outside.
Also Fatmax clearly indicates the first rist of lactate, typically between 0.8 to 1.5mmol.
