You might also consider doing another test, and aiming for smaller pace increases so that you get lactate samples at ~145bpm, 150, 155, 160, 165, 170, 175.

yes, that is a good idea to repeat with smaller intervals! I’m also very curious to the variations between tests.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you very much for your insights.

What was your RPE at 170 and at 182?

Regarding the RPE, 170 felt not really hard yet, RPE 12-13 I guess. However, 182 felt much harder, more like RPE 16-17.

Does the steep lactate increase from hr170 has implications for training focus, for example more focus on high intensity?
