Lactate Threshold: Why a "Good" Test Result Can Fool Your Coaches

Lactate threshold testing is supposed to show you if your training is working. But a right-shift in the lactate curve can mean two completely opposite things, and most coaches can't tell which one they're looking at.

Norwegian 4x4 vs HIIT | Why Some Athletes Get SLOWER From Interval Training

Norwegian 4x4 and HIIT both improve VO2max, but there's a second adaptation hiding in these intervals that can actually decrease endurance performance. It's the glycolytic training stimulus, and most coaches completely miss it.
