I was on a stationary bike, and did a 70 watt warm up for 5 minutes. This warm up saw my lactate spike from 1.2 to 2.1. The person administering the test was confused by this, as they typically see a few data points in the 1’s for a few samples. The person administering also mentioned 4.0 was the limit for AeT sounds like they were wrong.
I was pretty nervous for this test as needles are not my favorite, and I believe that may have effected my lactate (just a guess).
I can attempt the HR drift test on an inclined treadmill, I have been avoiding running due to the achilles/shin pain. I will start at 135 HR and see if I drift, if not I will try another day at 140, then 145, etc. With some rest between. I did a stair stepper test a year ago and was at 150 per an Evoke trainer, so I hope I didn’t slide back.
