Road To Europe - Episode One - Lactate Testing

[@paulkaye3183]

Good video Vlad. Been following your strength and conditioning videos for a while now. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Happy you’re wearing an Arsenal t shirt. I’m from London and an Arsenal supporter. Don’t wear a Spurs one now! 😂😂. All the best for future races.

I got a few vintage ones but mostly from Italy and Spain, nostalgic vibes are hitting me hard as I get older

[@PeterBroz-di9qi]

Hi Vlad, that's a great news you're coming to Europe! Which places are you visiting?

[@VladIxel]

mostly Austria and Switzerland but also a bit of time in Germany and France. Will be around the alps

[@jimmyrunsoz]

Mitch did mine too a couple of months ago - good guy. All the best in Europe...

[@zauris3]

Looking at the data and analysis does not seem like the best 😐

[@bdarowicki]

Just for curiosity, what is your VO2max?

[@VladIxel]

this wasnt a V02max test (i thought it was going to be and I really wanted to do one) I got to 72 V02max but i didnt go to max speed we stopped at 3;04 pace

[@bdarowicki]

@@VladIxel Thanks, good luck and have fun here, in Europe ! :)

[@VladIxel]

[@java6727]

You'll probably cover this in your next video but you mentioned your leg-turnover isn't there yet. How do you get it to where it needs to be? Thanks

[@VladIxel]

Downhill work is one of them but also for me as an athlete 3;04 pace per a K is my 5k race pace so it very close to my limit

[@jameschaves5723]

No VO2 max score?

[@VladIxel]

not really, i got to 72 but it wasn't all out effort and my 5min at 3;04 pace was 60min into the test - guy said im most likely around 74-75

[@runnerfromhel]

It’s interesting that for you this is only the first test in ten years. But the results seem only to confirm your own feeling about the correct training zones.

[@VladIxel]

Overall Lactate Testing became more common only in the last 3-4 years (or maybe this is just now everyone is sharing more on social media) and it feels like everyone is testing all the time now. when i started with ultra running back in 2012 I dont think many ultra runners tested but now most elite runners do test a lot

What a misery. This is pure depression. Living under stress for years, running around.
