VO₂ Testing vs Lactate Testing — Which Do You Need?
VO₂ Testing is ideal for:
-
Building aerobic base
-
Improving metabolic efficiency
-
Understanding fat vs carb usage
-
Determining true Zone 2
Lactate Testing is ideal for:
-
Interval training optimization
-
Race pacing & threshold setting
-
Assessing fatigue resistance
-
Identifying training weaknesses
Best Results = Both Combined
No more guessing. No more training blind.
This is the foundation of smart endurance training.
