Lactate Threshold

The "Norwegian Training Method” has become a fascination amongst triathletes, but with its reliance on near-constant blood lactate testing, it can be dauntingly impractical. We look at how everyday triathletes can try it without a blood lactate meter or 35-hour training weeks.

The latest research suggests that muscle oxygen can detect exercise thresholds, with no blood required.

I’ve thought about doing some off-season testing. Which test makes the most sense for triathletes?
