| szurcher: | Marc did two lactate threshold tests, a horizontal and a uphill test. The horizontal test starts at 10.8km/h and increases 1.8km/h every 3 minutes. The uphill test is at 22% incline and starts at 4.3km/h and increase 0.7km/h every 3 minute.
Marc improved in both tests! Paticulary in the horizontal test where he increased his threshold speed by over 1km/h, and also his maximal speed by 0.6km/h. Good job marc! In the uphill test he also increase his maximal speed, running the fastest speed seen yet in my testing, but there are still some good runners coming... |

| Swisscheese: | Thanks Sandra for explaining the test.
So, I understand I have done pretty well in your study... I believe you must have tricked the treadmill! |

| Swisscheese: | After reading the papers, I see that they estimated my treshold in flat running at 18.8km/h with a lactic acid concentration of 3.0 mmol/l.
Flat I ran the 3min at 19.8km/h, but the one speed higher (21.6km/h) was pushing me to the limits, and after 2 minutes I had to quit. By the way, it must be said, that between every speed level (10.8kmh, 12.6kmh, 14.4kmh, 16.2kmh, 18.0kmh, 19.8kmh, 21.6kmh) which goes 3 minutes, there is a 30 second break so that you can give blood to know your lactic acid concentration. Unfortunately they didn't give me any results of the climbing test. I believe I finished the 3minutes at 9.2kmh (22% inclination), and managed only 1 minute at 9.9kmh before quiting. |

| jfredrickson: | They take your blood between each interval? That brings a whole new level of intensity to interval workouts! |
