January 13

First attempt at running lactate threshold test.  I only decided to do it as I was doing a regular run at the y.  I felt so good I thought I'd give it a try.  I think I'll have to do another in a couple of weeks as I don't think it's quite accurate.  I wasn't quite sure what speed I could maintain over the 1/2 hour, so I think I started a little slow.  I ended up running 8 mph according to the treadmill, I started at 7.  I also didn't remember to do 15 min warm up and some hard efforts leading up to the TT.  Given the faults in the testing my average HR was 168 bpm.  Peeks to the HR during the test had me at 174 for most of the final 5 min.  I had a cool down in the pool because I was teaching my daughter breaststroke and she was doing some laps, I got a few easy laps but not enough to count for anything.  

Run - :30.  Lactate threshold test ave HR168
