In this episode, we dive deep into lactate threshold (LT) and why it’s a powerful tool for cyclists aiming to maximize endurance and performance. We break down what lactate and LT actually are, debunking common myths and explaining how LT differs from other metrics like VO2 max and FTP. You’ll learn how to determine your LT with simple field tests or precise lab testing and discover why LT training can help you build endurance, improve pacing, and avoid burnout. We cover common mistakes—like overtraining the threshold and neglecting aerobic base work—and discuss why the average road cyclist doesn’t need to fall too far into the LT rabbit hole. Whether you’re racing or just looking to ride stronger, this episode offers insights to take your training to the next level! ⁠⁠⁠ROULEUR⁠⁠⁠⁠ To get 10% off your ticket to Rouleur Live just go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rouleur.cc/live⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use code ROADMAN10 to get 10% off!
