What are your "hill repeats"? was this 6 hill runs that took 2min each? what grade is the hill?
Yes. 6 x 2 mins with a 2 min or better cool down. 170+ HR on the sprints and back down to 140. Not sure on the grade, but I run in Vestavia Hills and Cahaba Heights. Not exactly flat.

If your threshold run is only 140-150 hr something is wrong or you just don't run hard.
Going off max HR and VO2 calculation. If there’s a better method, I’d love to read about it. I’ve considered doing a lactate test on my next VO2 test. Would that be beneficial?

BTW everyone knows you're almost 50. not sure why you always mention this.
Mainly because my HR is abnormally high based off the standard calculation of 220-age. That puts my max HR at 170 when in fact it’s 195. Age is important in HR discussions is it not? I’m told max HR will decrease with age.

if this is a sprint i would think your HR would be pushing much closer to max.
from the all knowing google search - the Threshold Zone” where we get up to about 80-90% of our max heart rate. so for you at 195 max a 85% threshold is 165 not 140-150 which tells me you aren't running hard enough when you are suppose to which is pretty much the concept of zone 2 training?
i've asked before but what your measuring stick to say the zone 2 80/20 plan is working for you? is it your 5k got x% faster over a certain time frame or you HR number for your age is x% higher than the "norm".
several people comment about the zone 2 being so great but what is it measured against?
sure theres a correlation b/w age and heart rate but you age comments seems to follow statements about your pace. not sure if its a boast or a self-roast....
BTW i'm 46 never trained by hr. i just run so i'm pretty much an expert based on staying at a holiday inn once.
