Update: Did another set today of 2x20min @30%incline. Had pretty low resting lactate this morning at 0.8. Tried to get a better warmup and sit at the target the last 3 mins of the warmup. Lactate read 2.9 @ 158 so perfect. After the first 20mins tested at 3.7 and 161- slightly high but still good. 2nd 20 min interval same exact pace with a slightly lower hr at 158 and lactate at 3.2. I figure I kicked the shuttle off after the 1st interval and so got lower lactate for the that reason.
This was a perfect test as far as the training I wanted to get. I guess I’ll do the exact same workout for this block until I want another adaptation. What’s odd though is I did the same warmup last week and had the incline at 20% as opposed to 30%. Only wrench in the system would be last week I just got back from a 2 week trip near sea level and had returned to 1500m elevation about 5 days before.
Again thank you for any insight or feedback!
