Thank you Scott. Dehydration hopefully is the answer. Otherwise maybe I have diabetes hah! I’ll post another if the readings are strange.
One take away I’ve come to learn is personally whether odd readings or not it takes 6-10 mins for my lactate and HR to coincide accurately. Shame when you go to a lab they just keep bumping you up 2-3 mins at a time.
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!Thank you Scott, nice and thorough! The high intensity post-rise was also what Kylee had told me. I guess it’s quite a niche tool for laypeople that they don’t give to much info in the How to Test Manual. I had a good difference recently in a field test vs a lab test after doing a very gradual warm-up instead of the lab spike but there was a slight 45sec delay on skis. It did read exactly where I expected though 152 bpm@ 1.9 vs the labs 150-155@ 3.0. Basically everything I’ve tested in the lab both times have had quite skewed results vs field tests. I’ll have to upload the 2 gas exchange tests here as an example of funky results because of warm up or fueling poorly.
Thank you again
