done a lab test on my bike today and compared it with 6 months ago
tests were done measuring lactate from my ear and measuring CO2+O2 with a mask. stepping up 30W every 2mins.
from a lactate point of view, the curve was higher by 30W
but the "ventilatory threshold" did not change a single watt. this number is assumed by the local experts in the lab the "max 30mins sustainable wattage"
how can this be?
is it possible you improved a lot from a lactate point of view but no improvements in your ventilatory threshold???
is it correct to approximate your FTP value from 4.0 mmol intersection on the lactate curve?
