Greetings
Has anyone ever utilized lactate threshold testing models for monitoring their training? I have a copy of Jan Olbrechts book on the subject on the way from a contact in Belgium as the book is not available in the US right now. The finger stick monitors seem pretty straight forward to use as well. I am intrigued with the idea of using this tool over the winter just for the fun of it. Do any of you have any experience with this subject and/or advice. I am a master swimmer mostly prepping for OW events in the 1-3 mile distance. My son is a USA age group swimmer. We will both use the monitor if I can get him to tolerate the finger sticks.
Thanks

Wow. I've always wanted to do that testing just to see if I am truly a sprint only swimmer or if I should train some middle distance. I did both when I was younger but have gravitated towards the sprints the older I get (and the less time/energy I have to put in the yardage!). Where do you get the monitor and how much does it cost?
