Goal:

Identify my proper Z2 power by aiming for Lactate close to 2mmol. Right now I’m not sure what the right power is since I don’t know when to measure Lactate: 10min in, 30min in, … seem to give me different results.

Also, the fact that Lactate is declining, doesn’t this mean that I’m very well within Zone 2 or potentially Zone 1 even?

160W. Don’t have a real FTP test but I think it is about 230-240W – so this is 65-70%.

Hi Pedro,

Not sure this answers my question to be honest. My lactate is going down at a steady effort (wattage held constant), and I’m wondering why and what the implications are.

Thanks.

Did you get more reliable results after this?

I just got the same Lactate Pro 2, but readings are all over the place, even at rest: 2mmol, then 1.6, then 1.5 – all tested one after each other.

Wonder if the blood drop I’m squeezing out of my finger was too small. Any ideas highly welcome!
