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

My brother Thurlow (he is 76 and not well) developed this computer program. I put the numbers in it spits it out. He gave me the program it comes in 5 floppy discs. I have put it onto a CD. He is the one who took the blood samples, he said he was able to read these and tell if the person training was just putting in time or giving it a good try.
All I do is add a name, age and resting heart rate. The blood stuff I do not know about just what the program says, but it is very accurate and gives variables.
Being a sprinter I only do my Max Vo2 workouts up to 75 meters.
The program will spit the workouts for any distance any stroke.
The workouts come out telling you what heart rate you should have while doing them. You have to tell the program what time you want to swim eg 22 sec 50 or 5 min 400m.
Thurlow is the guy who went to the swimming hall of fame pool with his team and had his kids do 100 X 100.
