Negative Heart Rate Drift Test

Hey everyone, so I just started the 20 week first ultra trail plan and performed my first heart rate drift test. Kind of confused about interpreting the results as I got a negative pa:hr result.

Did it on a relatively flat 1km loop, keeping a consistent pace but GPS goes a little funky on some bits.

Should I re-test on a another loop or just set my top Z2 to 150 for the time being:

Question regarding 20 week first ultra trail plan

I’m just about ready to purchase the 20 week first ultra trail plan, and currently have two objectives lined up. My A race would be taking place October 4 and is 55k with 3600m elevation. I am also lining up for a 42k with 2200m elevation gain on August 8, thinking about it as a B objective (this race is at altitude, starting around 3300m and going to 4400m, so probably will be averaging a slower pace than normal)

I’m thinking about naturally choosing my October race as an end date and going back 20 weeks to start the plan. Would I need to factor in a couple of weeks of recovery after my August race or could it be integrated into the plan without modifying it much? What would be the best way to go about it?
