Today's video takes the second part of my Lab Test with Adam Isherwood, at Oxford University in order to focus on the most important Threshold for most recreational cyclists. Lactate Threshold 1. The Power we can produce at this important Threshold dictates the maximum pace we can sustain for several hours.
It is a Physiological Threshold and NOT simply a % of an FTP test. So if we understand what should be happening in our bodies at this Threshold (breathing, heartrate, ability to talk and of course lactate levels in the blood), we can be more measured in our power selection during training and cycling outdoors in order to cycle faster for longer when it matters.
It was a key power metric I used in order to complete the Majorca 312 in a good time earlier this year, and has been front of mind during my recovery from injury, including my recent 45km +2300m ascent of Mount Teide in Tenerife.
