Lactate Test

Find your red line. Train smarter, not harder

Your lactate threshold defines the pace or power you can hold before fatigue sets in. Knowing it changes the way you train and race.

Why This Test Matters

Too many athletes guess their “threshold.” If you train too hard, you burn out. Too easy, you stagnate. Lactate testing pinpoints the exact moment your body shifts from sustainable aerobic to unsustainable anaerobic.

Small blood samples from the fingertip at each stage
