LT1, LT2, lactate, blood drops.... all the rage in triathlon training over the last year or 2 since Kristian and Gustav made it widely popularized. A lot of videos have been made on this, but I've been frustrated with two things in most of them:
1) Few people actually share the raw data / results, leaving out the best part...
2) Few people explain how or why they're using lactate in training
I'm not expert, but I've introduced lactate testing with my coach Lauren Goss as a way to manage 1) Am I getting better? how much and where? and 2) am I staying within the target zones across my swim, bike, and run workouts (intensity control).
Let me know any feedback or questions in comments. Always looking to learn and share my experiences with others.
Thanks to Kyle (@organicironman on insta) for putting together the vid as always!

What device do you use? Two years ago, I was 57 and training for bodybuilding and endurance motorcycle racing. I was 8% bodyfat and on the Carnivore Diet. I suffered a hybrid form of Refeed Syndrome that landed me in the ER. After that day, my health started to decline fast. Two years later I was about 30% fat and still in the gym, I could no longer do the workouts that I was able to do, due to extreme lactate type symptoms. Even just hitting a small section of woo-de-doos, would make my thighs burn. Last April, I figured out my problem. I needed more Thiamine. My lack of Thiamine was inhibiting Pyruvate Dehydrogenase and pushing Pyruvate into the Cori Cycle. I've been Mega Dosing Thiamine now and my comeback has been profound. I wish I had a meter like yours, so I could have known what my resting lactate was comepared to now.

Great video. So you ramp up by 15 watts every 4mins and take a test at the end of the 4min ?

Nice usefull Video! I was wondering which app your using for the wattage etc. And is it maybe possible to share a Excel template?

Good question! If we want to reproduce the test, the Excel template will be great!

How do you improve them? What zone do you work at to improve either LT1 or LT2?

My approach is primarily to train at those two specific intensities, or just below the thresholds: 1.2mMol and 3.2mMol is a safe assumption without a more individualized profile. Of course as you increase overall fitness / VO2Max, all of the numbers will shift “up and to the right” :)

Hi Justin, just curious... Did you confirm LT1 and LT2 with other test after? MLSS ? Because it seems you understimating both LT1 ( 250/260) LT2 (315). Looks more LT1 @ 280W and LT2 @ 325 or are you just being cautious? Thanks

Yes exactly just being conservative / cautious
