Laboratory-grade lactate threshold testing at Valorform Munich. Step protocol, capillary blood analysis, LT1 and LT2 identification and a written report with training zones you can immediately use.
We take small blood samples as the effort goes up. From those we find two points. The first is where easy training ends. The second is the pace you could hold for about an hour. Those two points set all of your zones.
The old age based heart rate formulas can miss your real threshold by ten to twenty beats. That is the difference between an easy run and a hard one. Testing removes the guess. Your zones then belong to you, not to an average.
Most of your volume sits below the first point. Tempo work sits between the two. Cruise intervals sit at the second point. Short hard intervals sit above it. We write the paces and heart rates on your plan.
You can book a lactate threshold test at our studio in Munich East. We also coach athletes fully online. Sessions run in English, German, Polish and Dutch. Pick a time that fits your school, work or match schedule. Ask us anything first — the contact form on the home page reaches a coach directly. We reply within one working day.
