A Profile of Performance
Having a series of lactate tests makes zone targeting easier

If you're using lactate then get your own kit - you can easily share between friends and gather frequent data

Take time to learn your individual profile.

The questions to answer:
1⃣Is my Green Zone green?
2⃣Is my Tempo targeted appropriately?
3⃣Is my protocol making me better?
4⃣What is the metabolic stress associated with my Core Pace training?

Pics are a series of recent tests.
Pic 1 is Run
Pic 2 is Bike

➡️Combine a series of submax tests with field data - you can remove the guess work associated with setting your zones
➡️Easily spot when there's a disconnect between feeling, heart rate and power/pace.

1⃣With multiple tests, the LT1 effective range as well as Tempo become clear

2⃣Understanding our healthy baseline helps manage loading across inevitable illnesses and exposure to viruses

3⃣Use the data to train the mind about how these efforts feel. We often find reality does not line up with expectations.

Chapter Two explained both the Submax and the Full Profiles for testing your run profiles.
