Lactate Threshold Training

I remeber Joel mentioned pre Beijing where he ran 44.9x that he was still working out how to run the race. Obviously with his rapid improvement, he is learning the best way to run it for himself.
After State Champs on the weekend, he mentioned he wanted to run the first 200m faster, so he may have got a bit too carried away after that first 60-80, especially with Thomas there.
He may not have that ‘cruising’ speed to relax and cruise down the back straight yet, and may have been pushing a little bit.
The last few seasons he has raced a lot (last season a 10.8, 21.4, 46.x on the one afternoon) in order to get ‘fit’

Advice is that he ran his 200m PB a fortnight earlier (following only 20mins after a 400m race) so he is already significantly faster at that distance now than this time in the Olympic year.
