Climbing the lactate ladder – 4×20’/1’r

Yesterday’s test was 1.1mmol/l after 20 minutes at 180W.  It was so low I thought it might just be a bad reading.  Today, I had intended to stick at 180W and retest, but the pace got away from me and I was above 182W at the 10 minute mark and I didn’t want to slow way down to try to bring the average in line.

Test result after 20′ at 182W was 1.3mmol/l.  This validates yesterday’s low reading and indicates I can push the power even a bit more.  So I did.  the next 3 pieces were done at 184W.

My HR monitor decided to not work today, so no pretty graph.  I bet i was pushing the top of UT1 by the end.  I was pretty tired.
