In Episode 9, the coaches provide insight and context for lactate threshold (LT) training and discuss the basic biology behind these higher-intensity sessions.

Key Discussion Points:
Addressing Common Misconceptions:

Understanding LAH+ in the body
** Correction from the audio, LAH+ never appears in the body. The H+ ions build from the process of glycolysis itself, separately from lactate production
Soreness is not leftover LAH+
La- is not bad, it is fuel

Deep Dive:
What is your Lactate Threshold
How does Lactate/H+ accumulate
How does buffering + clearance work
Why does it burn when I’m beyond LT
What happens when you keep training beyond LT

Actionable Takeaways:
Lactate threshold training is improving your body’s ability to buffer acidity
LT training is hard but sustainable, not a “crash & burn” effort
If you cannot maintain the effort for 30 minutes, it’s likely too fast. If you can sustain the effort for more than an hour, it’s likely too slow.
