High Speed with very small gears (little or no resistance) High gears and sub 55 cadence Giving specific numbers Power stuff Use of weight as a starting point Increasing by fixed amount Music Speaker change ear plugs Numbers Watts, RPM, Gears, RPE - maybe confusing to riders If you have questions about any of these, lets talk.

  • 10. What is Lactate Threshold? The LT is the fastest a person can continuously run, cycle, swim or aerobically exercise in a steady state bout without fatiguing (for up to an hour depending on the fitness level of the individual). In essence, it is a persons Maximal Steady State of continuous exercise. If LT is exceeded, fatigue will ensue much soonerr.
  • 11. Lactate Threshold Why? Importantly, it should be clarified that exercise intensity above the LT can only be maintained for a few minutes. Therefore, in almost any race or maximal steady state workout it is imperative to stay below LT. However, if the pace at the LT can be increased through training, then the times for races will invariably decrease.

  • 13. Indoor Field Test Protocol 10-15minute warm up at an easy to moderate pace (HR 60- 70% MHR) 5-min moderately hard effort of 80-85% MHR Prime the legs Activate the bodys energy systems Without this initial effort test will produce less than favorable results.
  • 14. Indoor Field Test Protocol10 minutes easy pace Start the field test. Begin by ramping up to the highest speed,rhythm, power and cadence that you can hold for the 20minutes. Start stopwatch after 1-min. DO NOT sprint into the effort, STEADY STATE effort. 80-100 rpm.
  • 15. Indoor Field Test Protocol At 20-minutes, stop, record average Cool Down 8-10 minutes Record effort, RPE, how you felt, the room environment,what you ate prior to the test, etc. For future tests, try to duplicate the same environmentif possible.
