Honestly, I swear I can get the cycling LTHR by feel. I can feel when I start getting the lactate, and when it starts building. Running, no way. I'm pretty sure that they're going to be different numbers between running and cycling, and different numbers for AnT and LT.
Not sure what your question is, aren't you trying to find the anerobic threshold/lactate threshold HR? What I'm saying is ignore whatever feeling you think you should expect and run as hard as you can for 30 mins, as suggested above. If after 30 mins you keel over because you can't run anymore, and your pacing was relatively steady, then that's probably close to your LTHR. Then look at the HR plot afterwards and see if it climbs and plateaus.
