Great video, thanks ❤👍🏽
The best explanation of lactat testing. Very clear and simple. Happy to find out this channel. Thanks for video.
And. I’d like to put two likes here )) definitely the best video about test and zones
Thank you
Very well-structured and insightful!
Something I am quite looking forward to is *wearable Continuous Lactate Monitors* - which multiple people in the scene have alluded to very likely becoming a reality in the next 2-5yrs. No more obsessive handwashing and wasted strips.
Thanks Gordo, I have just completed a bike test using your protocol (10 mins steps, 15W ramp) & have a question on determining my AeT. Read results below (hopefully formatting is OK):
Power HRave Lactate RPE/comment
rest - 1.2 -
120 106 1.0 1.0 easy
135 110 0.9 1.2 still easy
150 114 1.3 1.3 easyish
165 119 1.3 2.0 feels like Z1/2 border (initial deepening breath)
180 125 1.6 2.2 ok
195 130 2.1 2.5 Z3?
210 137 2.4 2.4 Z3/4?
225 144 3.8 4.0 Z4? could do this for an hour
Initial thoughts on the above is that AeT/Z1 is sub 165W, Z2 is 165-190W & Z3 is 190-225W
All looks good - I'd place Z3 190-210w and see how that feels
@@feelthebyrn Will do Gordo, thanks. Similar to you, 2 years into returning back to fitness at 56 yrs. Been following your advice & it has gone great. Now ready to start introducing some intensity - this is always the point where I struggled in the past, adding too much intensity too quickly. Luckily we seem to be in sync & you have just released a video on this! Again many thanks, your video/posts are so good & particularly insightful.
