I consistently have a lack of anaerobic load in my Garmin training load. I did a track run today trying to work on intense intervals. I was hoping to get to the end and have more anaerobic effect than aerobic. Is there something I should be doing differently in my runs? I was under the impression that the rest phase between run intervals should allow you to really catch your breath, so I often walk for a few seconds before getting back into a jog in my rest interval.

Should I be more focused on keeping my pace up during the rest interval? Should I be running fewer/more intervals? Should I ignore these stats and just enjoy the run?

    Unless you’re really trying to train for something specific, I would just ignore it. I mainly cycle and I have enjoyed riding much more since I got rid of my bike computer and power meter. I still track rides with strava of course, but not having all the numbers during my ride let’s me just enjoy it. I also quit wearing my garmin watch on runs for similar reasons.
