- This video will walk you through how to prepare and do your own lactate threshold test on the bike. Threshold protocol that you can do on your own anywhere. Get your results that will help you establish workout zones that will give you specific training numbers to increase your performance.
Finally a clear video about this test. I like the ramping up method that avoid you from pushing too much too quickly. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree. I feel like everyone keeps this as a secret.
Just a heads up, this isn't a "lactate threshold" test. It's a functional threshold power test. Lactate threshold testing involves measuring blood lactate concentrations. The functional methods in your video is one way of broadly estimating a general "threshold", but they're not the same thing. If lactate, gas exchange etc isn't available, a critical power method is far better than that described in the video too - less guesswork, easy to perform in a short space of time and gives you both aerobic and anaerobic data to work with.
From an FTP point of view, a helpful video though 👍
That magic 400w threshold . Fire!
Love it. Most motivating and really well done video in a while! Big thumbs up 👍
could you please attach the sheet or a link to it?
Great video , very clear explanation, please could i have a link to the charts to plot my results Thank you
Thank you great video
Hi, where can i find those tables to calculate my zones?
So you ride it like a time trial ?
great video!
nice lad, you think he has any sponsors?
tx alot chris nice video were are the sheets to download ?
can you do this test on a mountain bike?.. cause we got more mountains rather than flats
yes, try and pick a slight incline or steady climb and run the test the same way. avoid any sections that have some downhills where you can rest. Try and maintain steady power the whole time
I am happy to suffer on a trainer. More focused that way without distractions of out doors.
Question.... When I first got on the bike and did this test, my max hr was 182, now a year later, my max is 176.. Is it normal to lower your max HR when you get more fit?
Last year when you did the test you were probably less efficient and spiked your hrt rate to a max. When you are fitter and more in tune with a threshold effort you can hold it longer and you won't get a high spike. The goal is in a threshold effort or test is to hold steady wattage that you can hold for that long. And yes as you get fitter you can produce more power or speed at a lower hrt rate. Good Job!
@@ChrisLieto Thanks man.. I was wondering why I could not attain my old max HR anymore. Im sure getting older factors in. Great channel btw.
Remember to take 10% off your 20 minute power for a true FTP.
