Lactate Threshold Testing Clinic Recap

We recently hosted our very first Lactate Threshold Testing Clinic for runners from the local Winners Circle Running Club. It was a fantastic event, giving athletes the opportunity to better understand their physiology and how it directly impacts training and performance.

To dive deeper into the science, check out:

• Ivan’s blog post: What is Lactate and Why Should You Care?
• Ivan’s presentation on performance testing and blood lactate measurement

At the clinic, each participant received:

• Personalized training zones based on their test results
• Guidelines for structuring workouts to maximize training effectiveness
• Tailored advice that connected their test data with their unique goals and areas for improvement

This kind of testing goes beyond “just running”—it provides objective feedback that helps you train smarter, avoid burnout, and perform at your best.
