Similarly, the highest intensity achievable for intervals that are between 8-20 minutes in duration will be at or slightly above lactate threshold power output. This is because it takes that long for reliance on anaerobic glycolysis to drop so you reach a steady state condition. When people make...
(7) Additionally, by picking up the pace you could actually improve your rate of recovery. Studies have shown that maximum blood lactate clearance occurs closer to your lactate threshold, meaning that you can reduce the soreness you experience after a workout just by walking at a brisker pace...
Intervals at around yourthreshold power or heart rate, which help improve your ability to clear lactate. We particularly like intervals that alternate between intensities just above and just below your threshold. Intervals that allow you to elevate your heart rate close to maximum and hold it there...
The best places to administer fluids subcutaneously to a cat are on the lateral parts of its shoulder blades and after the ribcage. Avoid administering them above the spinal cord (from neck to tail base) or close to the heart or lungs. The ideal place is right after its ribcage. How to...
One common method is to determine your maximum heart rate (220 minus your age), then calculate 60 to 70 percent of that number—that’s your aerobic threshold, the very top of your Zone 2 range. Another popular method is the MAF formula, developed by Phil Maffetone, which suggests ...
To calculate your speed, simply divide the distance swam by the time it took to complete that distance (Speed = distance swam/ swim time) So if, for instance, you want to find your speed per lap, it would be: Speed = length of lap/ lap time. If you want to find your total speed...
Before each two minute stage, I took a brief stop for needle-yielding researchers to take single drop of blood from my finger to analyze blood lactate concentration. Blood lactate is the gold standard for determining when your muscles begin to produce more lactic acid than they can actually rem...
The first key is to make sure that your running pace is based around a physiological value, such as Lactate Threshold (LT). Heart rate (HR) is not an output metric, it’s an input metric. Basing run training on HR (while actually running, as in looking at the HRM) is better than ...
The simplest answer is to turn to the tried and true pace clock or stopwatch. But effective use of the pace clock first requires determining your training pace zones. To determine your pace zones, we first need to find your lactate threshold pace—i.e., what is commonly called your “T...
deliver a huge training effect by increasing your maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max),raising your lactate threshold, and improving your economy, and this can translate to burning more fat at higher intensities. ButHIIT workoutsdon’t ultimately burn an impressive number of calories while you’re...
