Great content Gordo! Thanks for sharing your process 💪
Sounds on this video is 👌👌😎👏👏👏
Great content. Thanks
That lactate dip corresponds to FatMax - quite common and at the same time useful finding !
Can you possibly refer to a scientific paper to back up this statement with?
Thanks Gordo. Following your tweets and TH-cam content with great interest. Just about to run my 1st LT. When self testing would I try & keep moving or rest while drawing blood/noting data? Also, I only have a WattBike, with no erg function. Would I try and ramp as best as possible? Thanks again.
If you're on a bike then keep pedalling. Without erg mode, best to take an interval at the start of each step and average your target power in the interval.
Nice content, pro job! If you were under done aerobically, how might this present in the data? Or in another approach to the same question, what might you see that would lead you to decide it is time to transition to working in the heavy domain when getting closer to the goal event?
Lactate starting to rise at a low level would be a sign of being under done. Another pattern you might see is a plateau across the Heavy Domain.
Good chapter in the Training for the Uphill Athlete. Covers your under-done Q in detail.
Heavy Domain is useful, year round. The issue most have is: (a) using too much of it; and (b) having their Moderate Domain training range drift into it.
Gavin,
This thread will give you some ideas on that.

Great info Gordon, thanks! I just tried to hone in on LT1 with The Edge, and I had two readings at 0,9 and 0,8 (150W and 160W). Are readings that low viable or likely bad data? Regards from Germany...🙌
That low are possible. I often see
Hi Gordo, how would go about doing the test for a runner on the track? I read on Alan Couzens substack that each should stage be "800-1200m, depending on the athlete's ability." Given that the pace increases, this would mean the duration of each stage decreases. I'm wondering if this might not allow enough time for lactate buildup in the subsequent stages? But in your case on Ryan's 2 final stages, you mentioned that you've also shortened them...
Would it make more sense to run for a set time, like 5 minutes per stage? I recognize the challenge here, as I might end up quite a distance from the sampling station. Should I aim for around 5 minutes but make sure I finish near the sampling point?
How would you tackle this?
Anyways, thanks for this incredibly insightful resource! A true goldmine!
Here's the protocol I like: feelthebyrn.substack.com/p/your-first-track-session
Also: feelthebyrn.substack.com/p/using-the-progressive-run-test
I prefer 1600-2000m steps with splits taken halfway - aim for even splits
800-1200 would only be for new athletes, and I wouldn't have them do the full profile. Only enough to find LT1
Thanks for the information!! Which Lactate Meter can I get in USA according with your experience? I saw in this video that you talked about Lactate Plus Meter but in other video you use the Edge Meter, thanks!! I want to get those results to be more accurate in my next marathon training, I’m a 54 young and I’m going to train for 2:50. Actually training for sub 37’ 10k next May.
I've found the Nova Meter to be quicker and easier to use. www.novabiomedical.com/lactate-plus/
@@feelthebyrn Perfect!! Thanks
I have a few questions, what's the mmol of Lactate before entering anaerobic? and what's duration for each wattage(how long should I maintain 120w, 140w, 160w..etc. Great content btw!!
