I just wanted to share with you. I did Lactate Acid testing, which was done by Genadijus Sokolovas in Clovis. After my 100 free, i walked up to his desk to do LA testing. After he took my blood, he asked me to come back in 10 mins, and another 10 mins after second measurement. It looks like that i need to increase aerobic capasity as per Genadijus. He also included sets to improve aerobic capasity. I wish, i did power test in the begining of nats, he was so busy and full of customers until he had to leave for airport. Next time i, definitely will do this power testing. Anybody did this LA testing in Clovis? Were you surprised or expected this result? I was kind of expected this but wanted to be sure.
