Lactate Threshold Testing For Training Zones & Endurance Performance
What is Lactate Threshold Testing?
Lactate threshold testing identifies the intensity where your body shifts from primarily aerobic to increasingly anaerobic metabolism. Knowing this “tipping point” eliminates guesswork, replacing vague pace or HR advice with zones that match your physiology. It’s the fastest way to turn workouts into measurable adaptations, reduce junk miles, and plan race pace and fueling with confidence. Runners and cyclists use it to target endurance, tempo, and interval work without overreaching.
Training Zones & Efficiency
- Establish HR, pace, and power at LT for each zone.
- Identify aerobic vs. anaerobic balance and metabolic efficiency.
- Detect over/undertraining and plateaus.
Performance Application
- Calibrate workouts for endurance, tempo, and intervals.
- Predict race pace and fueling needs.
- Re-test to quantify progress.
How It Works
We run a graded protocol on treadmill or bike, collect lactate and performance data, and translate results into personalized zones and coaching notes. Follow-ups align training blocks with your goals.
