Quick clarification on the threshold-app pace bands I post: rep duration DRIVES the prescribed pace for LT1, Sub-T, etc.

Shorter reps can/often will be faster while targeting the same physiology; lactate testing confirms whether the mmol/L response matches the intended stimulus

@AOliveira93365 Threshold isn’t a universal pace.

E.g. A 5:30/mi continuous effort and 5:30/mi for 4–6 min reps with recovery are VERY different metabolic demands.

Rep duration/recovery materially change lactate response, so pace alone can’t define LT1/2

Triple quote tweeting the homies Fran & @tomcoppens_

I’m extreme w/ tracking macros/food (thanks, bodybuilding).

But nutrition can be a HUGE limiter for runners.

If performance matters, give intake the same attention as HR, lactate and RPE (if tracking works for you mentally).

Tom with a banger

N=1 here but I can absolutely say the same re: hybrid training, anyone who is doing high volume aerobic work coupled with strength endurance likely needs specific macronutrient tracking

Pays absolute dividends not to gas out when it really matters (race day)

PM Threshold:

1.5 mi (2.4 km) WU
5x4 min @ 5:21/mi (3:20/km), 60s rest
1.5 mi (2.4 km) CD
3.0 mmol after rep 3, 2.8 after rep 5

Andreas Almgren said it best: “Don’t be greedy.”

Planned 6 reps, but higher lactate/RPE meant stopping at 5.

NOBODY got better by being greedy!
