Lactate Threshold Training

CHANGE OF TOPIC HERE.

This should have been pre-comp work but a six weeks setback due to a silly hammy injury has meant that he is only just now ready to do this set fast enough to be somewhat specific to his 400m intentions. So he is doing this set during the competition period, but his next 400m race will not come until next Saturday afternnoon. This guy has run only two 400m races to date.

Today’s session:
400m training

350m in 41sec
8mins rest
320m in 41sec
8min rest
300m in 41sec

“Can’t feel my butt” direct quote post set by the 400m sprinter whose best time is 48.0sec. But I think he looked on course to run well into the 47sec zone today, at worst 47.8

He ran this set solo.

The 41sec has a few 10ths here or there, but interesting the coincidence of times. The poor guy looked like he was treading water on that last rep. We’ll get blood lactate and bicarbonate readings for the same set next Sunday (if the physiologist gets to the track on time)

That is incredibly coincidental that they were all 41s. Did you ever get blood lactate readings from the next session?
