Lactate Threshold Testing Benefits
Pinpoint where your body shifts from aerobic to anaerobic exercise.
A lactate threshold test will help you identify the exact intensity where your body shifts from aerobic to anaerobic exercise. Understanding how these states work together to fuel your body is essential for creating workouts that will increase your energy and endurance.
Improve endurance and race-day performance.
Learn how to push your limits without hitting the dreaded “wall.” With data on your body’s efficiency at different intensities, you’ll know exactly how hard you can push during training or on race day to maximize endurance and finish strong.
Find your perfect balance of activity and recovery.
Training too hard or too long can lead to burnout or injury. A lactate threshold test can provide you with the feedback you need to structure your workouts for the perfect balance of activity and recovery. By using your test results to guide your workouts, you can reduce overtraining and improve your recovery, helping your body stay in peak athletic condition.
Track Your Progress
Lactate Threshold testing provides a measurable benchmark that you can track over time. As your training progresses, your threshold should improve, showing clear, data-driven evidence of your increased fitness and endurance. Regular testing helps you monitor these gains and adjust your training accordingly.
