Tonite it was time to do a lactate test

Lactate test – A maximum test on treadmill, which takes a blood sample at each new workload (4 min intervals), so that you can monitor the concentration of lactic acid (lactate) in the blood. It is the most accurate way to get information about the condition, and in the lactate curve can read the appropriate training zones and the opportunities for improvement in fitness.

Last time I did this was 2006 so it was a while ago. My threshold pulse was 163

Before we started the test we looked at what pace area I have been at during the intervals during my pulse based interval training and then I started by running at 8 min/k to warm up and the the actual test started

I ran for 4 min and increased the pace: 8 km/h, 9 km/h, 10 km/h, 11 km/h, 12 km/h, 13 km/h and in between I got stung in my finger to measure the lactate in my blood. It did not happen very much with my lactate level in the beginning til the very end which means I have a endurance curve

And my threshold pulse today is 160

Distance 3.54 miles (5.7K)

We are going to have a follow up to discuss my training Schedule. Found out that pulse based interval training seems to be the interval training I should be doing mostly
