Understanding Lactate Threshold Training

In this episode, I dive into the concept of lactate threshold and why it’s such a crucial part of smart run training. I break down the physiology behind it, clear up some common misconceptions, and explain why threshold work is one of the most effective ways to improve your performance. I’ll also share some personal insights on how I incorporate threshold workouts into training — especially for marathoners — and touch on the Norwegian model, which uses precise threshold work to build both endurance and speed.Chapters00:00 Understanding Lactate Threshold02:53 Misconceptions and Importance of Threshold Training05:32 Defining Lactate Threshold and Its Physiological Aspects08:41 The Role of Lactate Threshold in Training11:24 Benefits of Threshold Training for Endurance Athletes14:04 The Norwegian Model of Threshold Training16:59 Practical Applications of Threshold Training19:34 Threshold Training for Marathoners22:10 Conclusion and Key Takeaways
