Day 7 – LT threshold test

according to my Team IMBA training peaks plan, i need to get a baseline for my lactate threshold. you're supposed to go out pretty hard on a flat and monitor heart rate for :30 (:10 then :20). i thought that the van bibber trail would be a good option, but lo & behold the overhead power lines were wreaking havoc on my HR monitor, so i ended up just on the roads which wasn't ideal for sustained efforts.

anyhoo, not sure how accurate this is, but i'm going w/ it for now:

lap 1 - (warm up) :10 @ 175
lap 2 - :20 @163*
lap 3 - (warm down) :19 @102

aHR 132
mHR 181
*LTHR 163

time :55 • distance 14.3 • average 15.5
(now playing: U2)
