hayden52 I think you missed it... My aerobic capacity is coming along nicely. It's my frozen anerobic capacity that is the issue, and for this I'm using the Ramp test to keep track.
I'm not attempting to use a Ramp Test to track aerobic, I have other means.
As for my training, the rough rule of thumb likely applies 80% / 20% my coach manages that.
