LACTATE THRESHOLD TESTS | CYCLISTS SEEING WHAT WE CAN DO!

[@jefftewson8798]

That was really interesting , especially the stuff about the difference between a sprinter , and more endurance riding. Be good to hear more about that. My personal lactate threshold is probably stuck around 2 Waitrose yogurts.

[@williamcrampton394]

Another excellent video. Very interesting.i love the banter between you both. Well Done. Please keep up the great work.

[@TheCoeliacCyclist]

Another informative video. Quick Tip - When filming indoors switch your camera to 50hz and 25fps so that you do get flicker from the lights.

[@keessonnema]

Super interesting video! I love numbers like this, but it's also filmed really clear and relaxed. Great content!

[@erikpeterson25]

You folks are doing great with your videos...this is interesting ..thx 👍

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Glad you’re enjoying them ☺️

[@burn.501]

Great video again Amy. You guys are top shape.

[@raybraydh2956]

Love the science really interesting my daughter is currently studying sports science

[@antlister]

Nice relaxed banter and some super science!

[@iain7061]

A really interesting video, nice to see these types of video.

[@Swebb666]

I'm like Kyle with my Heart Rate, makes me major anxious seeing it go high on max effort 😂 Enjoying these detailed UK Bike Fit videos though! Good to get a glimpse of what the pro life would be like

[@davidmailander8165]

Nice job Kyle and Amy!

[@alicia_francis_]

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing!❤

[@stevecompton7197]

Once again very interesting really enjoyed that

[@brettcrf]

Some great insights and information 👍🏻🇬🇧💪🏻

[@malcontent_1]

Good info throughout - minimizes the misconceptions about this first test. Also, Dan must be in shock over Kyle's capacity to abuse cleats.

[@Neilhuny]

I'd love to know the reasons for his shocking cleats - not properly tightened? wrong position - backward/forward or left or right? loose clip in pressure? What on earth did he do wrong?

[@1ytt742]

Just riding a good load of hilly Audax will get you round Miglia Italia. Similar climbing to on the Bryan Chapman 600 except the mountains are bigger. APN will be a good step in the right direction. Good coaching will be even better. Good numbers for January.

[@markrae7664]

Ery impressive and informative video 👏

[@PJ-yx5zw]

Great video. How often will you need to retest for LT1 and LT2? Ive trained with power for a number of years, using FTP not lactate threshold. One thing I've learnt is you need to regularly test for accurate zones.

[@HirdyGeneral]

would love to know what my figures are... maybe one day. V interesting video though guys

[@1carusjohn32]

LT1 will push up with headroom from lifting LT2 with VO2 work, but the big gains will be from z2 lt1 threshold work. I see some polarisation in your training plan! Good numbers though for just riding your bike around a bit!!

[@johnrwilker]

Great video. I’m a triathlete so I would be interested in your running on the channel as well.

[@bonn1771]

nice are you going ot do the retest doing the summer to see the improvements

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes we will re-test at some point this year!

[@MWRent]

Tell the good people at UK Bike Fit that they need to change the batteries in their smoke alarm 😆 I've heard it beeping at least the last two videos.

[@jefftewson8798]

2nd on the podium today , I can live with that !

[@Markhypnosis1]

Looks like they're using Trainerroad for their ramp test. I use TR for my own indoor training.

[@DanielJimenez-qq8hb]

Fun video. Thanks

[@rollandjoeseph]

Interesting, so to increase your lactate threshold, train in higher zones(4-5) to boost your endurance, speed for longer rides?

[@Richz2]

So what is your ftp set to?

[@RXP91]

I knew you were a beast, LT1 of 182w at your bodyweight. Impressive!

[@whowhatwherehow3958]

Lactate recycles back to pyruvate and then give us more energy is this what the threshold is about? I need to research this.

[@jimjamthebananaman1]

Anaerobic respiration is where glucose is broken down in to pyruvate and releases 2 adenosine triphosphate molecules. The pyrvate in the absence of oxygen is broken down in to lactate which when oxygen is present again will be turned back in to pyrvate. When people talk about flushing lactate out their legs then they’re actually talking about muscle damage, not lactate. When we undergo anaerobic respiration we can’t actually use all the glucose to make energy hence why lactate is used for an energy source which is in small quantities.

[@bengt_axle]

Is Lactate threshold supposed to be close to FTP (because it is done in place of it)? Or can a trained athlete have an FTP that is quite different than lactate threshold?

[@rsam346]

I believe it should track fairly closely

[@duathlete827]

Numbers tell me that Kyle works much harder than you do putting out a substantially higher effort but essentially achieving similar performance results. Work harder and less negative talk about loins being nick nacked etc. No excuses improve performance. You're doing great and I think your numbers are above average. Waiting to hear your coach say it at some point in the videos.

[@Jackgoo]

I love kyle

[@granthardy3550]

The unpredictable nature of cycling is slowly being diluted quash, I can absorb fully concentrated without a hint of disgarge or skid mark.

[@AndrewBroadbent-dr8wb]

Bìt concerned about the lack of discussion regarding calibration of the machine and test kit to measure the lactate levels. Interesting vlog and banter though. Thank you.

[@paulwixman8151]

If I could arrest Kyle for riding with cleats in such poor condition, I would put him under the jail because in the jail would be too good for him! Sweet-baby jesus, those cleats were so bad!!!!! Cheers, Pjw

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

0:51... heat acclimation protocols... here is a topic to make everyone stupid, except the good Dr. of course. We all know what this is but our knowledge stops there.

[@Mr71paul71]

Unless your a top level cyclist this sort of thing is pure nonsense. Its why there are so few cyclists in the UK as every thing is sports oriented.

[@MrChippiechappie]

Leisure cyclists worrying about figures again, absolutely pathetic.

[@Neil.C57510]

I'd say someone who does 1-2k miles a year is a leisure cyclist. Didn't Amy do 12k in the last year. I'd call that endurance or enthusiast!
