What is lactate testing? Vo2 max testing? And sports science testing for running in general, all about? Today I take you with me for my lactate threshold testing, showing you the process, explaining how it helps me assess my running training and running progress over time, and taking you behind the scenes for the whole day. Just a few weeks to go until the Houston Marathon, let’s see if I’ve got what it takes to run faster than I ever have before!

I’ve been through the VO2max testing protocol a couple of time for run studies. It’s a beast! Then you look back at how long it actually lasted and you’re like, “WTF?! I wasn’t even running for very long!”

Great video! I recently had an lactate threshold and VO2 max test done at Bath Uni. Really glad as I was following MAF and was training the top of my zone 2 at 139, where in fact it is 151. Are your running shoes the New Balance Elite V4? Look great.

I am a subscriber; virtually stopped eating white bread, especially the sliced variety, when I read Percy Cerutty's books on running way back in the 1970s. Cerruty, coach to Herb Elliott the GOAT runner, virtually had white bread d own as something poisonous to the system1 Besides that, it's tasteless pap anyway! I remember having some similar tests done in the late 1970s. In a lot of ways mentally harder than an all out race - and just as physically painful!

@eimearrosenicholl3734 7 ай бұрын

The Kenyans obviously don't agree with Cerutty 😅I enjoyed his books but he wasn't a dietitian. He also thought you should eat porridge oats dry like a horse 🙈

It probably was poisonous during the industrial revolution when they'd put anything in it to make it white/more cost effective to make.

Personally prefer grain bread just because it doesn’t disintegrate like white bread here in America - however, when it comes to bakery/European bread - I would definitely go for a white, crusty loaf!

Para atleta amador seria bom fazer o teste quantas vezes por ano? Quem não tem condições de fazer o teste no laboratório, teria alguma alternativa prática de teste para saber o VO2máx e o lactato? Qual o resultado do seu teste, faz um video sobre o resultado!

@peterwilkins7013 7 ай бұрын

The Cooper test can be used to estimate VO2 max. Warm up, then run for 12 mins and get as far as you can. Pref do on a track or if you can't as straight/ flat road as you can. Measure how far you get. There are online calculators if you look for the cooper test that will convert this distance to vo2max. Slight disadvantage is it's very difficult to maintain max effort for 12 mins. But it's a good estimate. And free.

So first a lactate test = max, and then a VO2maxtest = max? Why don't they combine them? Seems a bit strange to do 2 maximal tests on the same day

How come even pro athletes keep spreading the old lactate myth?? Lactate is NOT causing fatigue, it correlates with fatigue, but is actually a fuel...

@greenpenguin3154 7 ай бұрын

Lactic acid is not a fuel 😂. It is a byproduct of anaerobic exercise (is produced when running unless you are running at a 100% aerobic pace)

What was your VO2 Max, does it matches with your watch? and was the test results according to your plans? i really hope so. Go get that marathon qualification, so we can see you do a great race in Paris next summer.
