Trying to figure it all out, and came across this site. Thought others who are still learning about all this stuff may find it helpful.http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/lactate-threshold-training.htmlSorry it's not a link, I'm An IPad newbie as well.

I haven't read it yet, but I figured I would turn it into a link for you!

It's a well written article. I found it easy to understand and pretty consistent with stuff from others, such as Skiba

Tomorrow I am going for some tests that include Lactate Threshold. I am doing them for medical reasons.

I wasn't really seeking LTHR and Power testing but I will get that info.

It will be interesting to compare the results with those found with a power meter and field HR testing.

Some good info but also some things that the author either tried to oversimplify or didn't fully understand. The biggest thing that gives me pause is the suggestion that an athlete would benefit from having a portable lactate analyzer. While the author is correct that they are quite affordable, IMO there is zero benefit for an athlete to test with a lactate analyzer over doing a simple field test.

I did my lab tests and they are exactly what I found through field testing.

One benefit I have heard the lactate test manufacturr claim is  testing would be easier, as in less effort.  In theory you only need to maintain FTP for a few minutes and get a sample to detect improvements. Not that doing a 20' FTP is the end of the world, but a finger blood sample is easier than a 20 or 30' all out effort.

This is a good article and may provide some reasoning to look at lactate values

Finally had a chance to read through the article; I see nothing there that would indicate a value to actually knowing lactate values. For someone who is doing research and attempting to describe the physiology of exercise, there is definitely a value to lab testing and having accurate and precise data. For an athlete (or coach), the question I would ask is how is having blood lactate numbers going to change the way the athlete trains.
