Re: Lactate based training

For me time came to say goodbye. Was really a great time here with you. I wish you all the best of luck for the future and hope you all can improve like you like (and deserve). ^O^

Extensive is always looooong (>2-3h) and not more intense (and shorter).

Re: Lactate based training

[*] Does the low temperature slow down the enzymes on the test strip, such that they generate fewer ions between the electrodes, so that I get lower readings? My basement is 8 degrees C but it could be colder closer to the floor where I prepare the line of test strips. Outside temperature was aroun...

Re: Lactate based training

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...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

[...] some 100m sprints at various DF and stroke rates. First was 160 at 34 - 1:35. Then 145 at 39 - 1:39. So finally I cranked it back up to 180. 1:31 at 30-32 [...] I'm probably just going to stick to 175-180 from now on, and hope I can hold on in the fitness stakes... Good idea? Muscle fatique (...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

Did yersterday a 3x8'/5r session and a fellow FS gave me a kudo for this session, so it seems that it was not too bad (means: above average). In a certain way that made me happy so I thought to share my happiness with Free Spirits… :fsbgrin: ^O^ Beforehand, the FTP based power zones by Coggan/Hunter...

Re: New toy! (PM5 monitor)

I had in the past two month much trouble with our PM5 (three pieces). C2 (Switzerland) have been helpful, as they e.g. offered me to exchange the hardware (PM5) – well, the hardware is fine, the software/firmware is the problem. Thankfully to a free spirit member I had the opportunity to get the e-m...

Re: Lactate based training

I guess the no so accurate HRV apps can be of help then but no where near as good as the HRV device you have. The problem with nearly all HRV products is… a) cheap hardware (with a lot of deviation within a charge, build in the same factory, nearly same hardware, but differently branded housing) b)...

Re: Lactate based training

Does anyone monitor their 'resting' lactate level? No, it's not useful/helpful. Everything between 0.8-1.6 is "normal", as it depends heavily on personal baseline (which depends on your lifestyle). That said usually around 1.2-1.4 is quite common, but it really really depends on your pers...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

So just longer slower rows for a while after weights. Of course everyone is different and free to do whatever he thinks it's best for him, but I would change the order. First the low intensitiy row, then the weights… 4. To improve the endurance response to lower-intensity endurance training session...
