Re: Lactate based training

Popping back to the brain trust thread to bounce some thinking around training and in particular “sweetspot training” and the possibility of integrating that concept into the training plan Could this be a British Rower doing a "Sweetspot Workout"? I saw this when Brianna tweeted it (can s...

Re: Lactate based training

If aerobic and anaerobic training is close to optimal for the time someone has to train (volume simply can not be increased). Then peak power does become the limiting factor. Apart from taking 3 - 6 months off of rowing to focus on a seriously dedicated weights program to significantly increase peak...

Re: Lactate based training

Shows summer is coming to an end as talk of lactate starts again. I've not pricked a finger since the start of spring

So much to re-read in this thread.

Re: Lactate based training

Also its interesting hes logged as a 1.7 lactate at rest, perhaps this is also a sign of an aerobic athlete? Did you mean anaerobic athlete? 1.7mmol is his lactate at first 4mins isn't it? I know it then quotes separately resting as 1.7mmol but have they actually tested before he did a warm up so p...

Re: Lactate based training

Interesting, how are you calculating the drift? Are you using the aerobic coupling calculation? If you look at my lactate link in my signature there is a page of HR drifts in the google spreadsheet. I think I am using the aerobic coupling formula correctly yes, but yes it is for anaerobic workouts ...

Re: OTW results

Both the s-turn and that big bend at the end look like pretty challenging features for a head race. It's always a good race when you can be the passer instead of the passee! The S Bend means that 8's can't enter, as at full speed I do not think they'd ever get through them. This restricts entries a...

I forgive them for that as it comes from guys who have proven results. I think they are presenting research from different sources. Actually, the presentation has references to it.

Re: Lactate based training

What is the basis to want to have the lactate level much lower than that? I am looking for lactate to drop from my resting levels so the fat utilization is working well (optimally maybe too strong in my case)?! This is then training the very base of the pyramid isn't it? I have expected this to hap...

Re: Lactate based training

I am personally not 100% convinced that this is the _only_ way but if you believe that, would there be ways to smuggle long low intensity exercise into your normal life? Long walks? Become more active outside the training hours? Do the groceries on the bicycle? It's not the only way, for time restr...

Re: Lactate based training

lactate can actually go down during easy exercise. It's what I was aiming for :wink: been trying to get it for last 10 days. It will be interesting to see if you can push duration and/or intensity. How much can this level be trained to move everything up. You can't increase intensity because you th...

Nothing puts a smile on your face at the end of a 3x30min SS erg quite like a 0.5mmol lactate reading :D Resting before start - 1.1mmol 30mins - 0.9mmol 60mins - Needed a wee, will measure tomorrow bladder permitting. 90mins - 0.5mmol - shock horror could it be right, was a good reading so I think s...

Re: Lactate based training

Sander The problem with the meter and strips needing to be warm is easy to fix surely just keep it warm, near a small heater, put it in a cool box with a hot water bottle with lid off so you can get to it quick? Just make sure it doesn't end up too hot. Blood is gonna be hot if it comes out so then ...

My MLSS which is 2:17.0, 136 Watts, this keeps me under 2.0mmol no matter what day and was at the point last week where it may need moving up. No. This is not your MLSS* (maximum lactate steady state). MLSS is highly individual and can be in the range of 2-8 mmol/L, but usually/often/commonly is fo...

Sweet spot is very similar in that limited to how many sessions you'd do a week and the person outlines that in the articles, a bit less intense than Threshold. Almost in the black hole that is sometimes said to be not a good place to workout. Along side the Sweet spot rows it sounds like recovery o...
