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

There are many ways to train, we have max V02 not to be done more than twice a week. Where people go wrong is that it they consider that Max V02 is to swim at lactate threshold. Lactate threshold should only be done once a month if ever.
Max Vo2 is done at a lower HR than lactate threshold swimming. I will have to go into my wife's computer as mine does not have Quattro Pro I need it to read my brother's program. I will get the standards and post the differences later her computer is in for repairs.
I will have it back in a few days.
It needs your resting heart rate, age, male or female, it gives you the work outs for all four types of training. Plus lactate threshold swimming. Females have to do more then the men to get results. The program also requires the race you want to compete in. It handles all of the strokes. My brother took the east german scientific reports and it does everthing automatically, he used to sell the program to several coaches.
I am trying to put it on my nonprofit web site but I am not the computer expert I thought I was.
