You have a broader aerobic base so you stress your anaerobic system less. After 6000 base miles my lactate threshold heart rate increased from 164 to 168, and 4bpm is significant when you're working that hard.
You also lost a little weight. With 5% less power doubling endurance that's a big deal.
And what could we do better?
7-10 minute intervals past AnT/VT2 as hard as you can sustain once a week plus more volume below AeT/VT1.
