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

We used to do lactate testing in college. It was sort of a big production at the time. We'd do it a couple times a season and they'd bring in an entire staff of people to take blood samples. We didn't get the results back for quite a while. If the process is such that it can be done quickly and relatively cheaply I think it would be worth doing.
