Very eye-opening approach to training. Keep pushing. As a runner and fellow RU-vidr I know how much goes into these videos! Keep posting... I just subscribed!
Can i ask did you setup pace alerts on your watch to keep within 4minkm 3.5minkm etc on each 1200m rep or are you able to judge pace pretty well. Thanks. I have a meter also just getting used to it.
Hey Will, was wondering where you got your lactate meter from and also what one you would recommend. Also from NZ and looking to start implementing threshold sessions into my training. Cheers
Just bought lactate pro 2 but tested today and the results were a bit random. Before start running justa had a 14mmol measuremente... then it goes from 2 to 3.5 and then get back to 1.0... already check procedures but doesn't get any better. Thinking about return it 😕
That is a bit odd. The only thing I can think is that you're getting sweat in the capillary. Make sure you wipe your finger or earlobe with a cotton or alcohol swab before lancing and wipe away the first couple drops of blood.
From this test round you would put your LT1 at 4 min/km? I am looking in starting to use lactate testing for coaching but I am not sure how much demand there would be from clients. Thank you
A lactate meter is more accurate. Different people have different heart rates for their lactate threshold. That being said, if you can't afford a lactate meter or don't want to buy one, heart rate is a good alternative
With speed (or power). I can control my output from start to finish. Using HR as a reference, I'd be unsure what my output was for the first 2-3min since there is a oxygen (O2) slow component.
