Lactate Threshold & V02 MAX Explained (The Test, My Results, What’s Next?)

Now I have accurate training zones from the VO2 Max test and the Lactate test, what's next? Using the data from these tests Luke describes some sessions I should be doing to train more efficiently and improve my cycling performance. He discussed anaerobic training sessions in some depth.

Loved this video, I did this test nearly 30 years ago. I havnt ridden in anger for 25years now after hanging up my cleats and now want to get back into it just for good fitness and fun 👍

Aye, thanks 😊 I really needed to see an example of this 🙏

I learned so much from this. Thanks for posting.

Awesome info! Need to find a guy just like him in the states.

The shape of the lactate curve is indeed very important. Basing zones off absolute lactate values is dodgy. It's like saying that everyone's max Hr is 190 and threshold is 160 bpm.

Great video ! As a beginner I could start by improving a bit of everything and do a similar test in a year to be more specific

A very enlightening video for whoever is interested about getting a pro training. Thank you for sharing such an interesting topic. Just one feedback please: at 2.5 mmol is the top end of zone 2. So what is the top end of zone 3, is it 4 mmol?

Wiggins looks ready for a comeback haha

Greg Lemond had a V02 max of 92. This guy is 65. DAMN! No wonder.

Thats an awesome informative video, how much does it cost and where did u go? Maybe theres a place in Geelong?
Tapering? Is it really necessary?
Great videos! Really fueling my fire. Cameron T

135km day before for sure affects test results

Even automatic captions can't catch what you are saying, is it Australian?
Good job on the lab tests!

i did a lactate test here a few weeks a go, my first ever. and i hit over 15 in lactate. and for some reason they could not help me get my HR zones. i have been trough a heart surgery 1, 5 years ago, and i'm struggeling to get back in shape. got any ideas on how and what i should focus my training at? i'm around 220 ftp, and 190bpm max, i have put on about 15kg of waight in the last year. from 65kg to 80kg, this might be a factor to why my ftp has gone down from 275 watts to right around 220, and my heart rate goes up super quick, rest hr is around 65, but every time i start riding my bike it jumps to over 100-120bpm. i would love to get some help in what i should do to get back in shape. Feels like i don't have a zone 1 and 2 anymore, all my rides are in zone 3-4.

Hi, how do you calcolate FTP at 320 watts? which is the formula starting from 300/2.5 mmol and 330/5, 6 mmol? I tried linear interpolation but I obtained a value of 315 watts. Thanks.

Awesome content Cam!
How do I recognise when I have worked enough on my base fitness?
