Lactate Threshold Testing

Train at the right intensities. Race with a plan.

Accurately set training zones with heart rate and power — and calculate a race pace for your events.

LT1

Aerobic threshold

LT2

Anaerobic threshold

Zones

HR + power

The test

What is lactate threshold testing?

Lactate appears in the blood during moderate to high intensity exercise. This test maps the relationship between intensity and blood lactate — so you know exactly where your engines switch.

01

Lactate Threshold 1

where blood lactate begins to rise above resting levels

02

Lactate Threshold 2

where blood lactate rises rapidly due to increased anaerobic metabolism

What you leave with

Zones, race pace, no guesswork

If you train with power or heart rate, this is the most accurate way to make every minute count. Take it before a serious block — then race with a pace that isn’t a guess.

01

Training zones

heart rate and power you can trust

02

Race pace

calculated for your specific events

03

Better sessions

intensity matched to your physiology

Who it’s for

Built for amateur athletes

You’re not “not good enough” for lab testing. You’re time-crunched — and that’s exactly why the numbers matter.

Pros can waste hours and still get fitter. You can’t. We target your available training time to your physiology, and walk you through results you can implement the same week.
