and is pretty reliable with good results You reckon every recreational runner should have one? ;) nope - unless you want to spend the money that is........lactate measurements are useful if you are trying to improve your lactate tolerance through intensive
Hi all I am still a fairly new runner. When I have been jogging for a couple of minutes my calf muscles start burning and it gets so bad I have to slow to a walk for a minute or two and then I can jog again... and so on. Is this lactate building up
I understand that during a marathon runners aim to run just below their lactate threshold. But what pace should one aim to run over a shorter distance? Is it possible to run beyond your lactate threshold during a half marathon?I suppose my real
Is it possible to buy a lactate testing kit for using trackside?Where from?How much? HEYme fort hadd test was ok yep, i was looking for one last year and tracked one down via google...but never got round to getting it, so no 'review comments
I had always assumed that everyone's Lactate Threshold was 80% WHR as this is the effort we are advised to do tempo runs at, whatever your individual pace.However I have heard that it is possible to increase the HR at which lactic acid accumulates
hello everybody,How do i go about finding/sussing out what my lactate threshold.Cheers in advance... Unless you have access to a laboratory, you will have to go off your times. The fastest pace that you can hold for an hour is probably not far off
lactate threshold you basically need to increase your aerobic threshold further. Lactic acid build up is when the body is producing energy anaerobically thereby releasing lactic acid as a by product. Therefore by training at a higher intensity for longer
Lactate threshold training has many aliases. It has been called lactate turnpointanaerobic threshold and stamina training. Whatever you choose to call it, lactate threshold training is a critical part of your running training program. Lactate
Having read a few books which cover this subject, they seem to say that in order to improve I should be running my tempo runs below my lactate threshold (i.e. when your legs get stiff and tired etc.) This feels fairly easy. Is it doing any good
I posted this on the Base Training thread yesterday, but my thread got lost in the mountain of threads, hence this more general posting. I would appreciate any advice from anyone in the know, at guessing what HR level my anaerobic/lactate threshold
