Re: What happens to your threshold HR when fitness improves? [Mike Prevost]
By a decrease in aerobic capacity, I am referring to either a decrease in pace or power production at both 4 mmol/l of lactate as well as lactate threshold, so hopefully I am choosing my words well enough to be clearly understood. As I mentioned, Olbrecht, Lydiard and others claim this to be the case and I have found it to be as well.

The takeaway point? If you're introducing a new type of training into your regimen (from base running and riding to VO2 work), you should be testing to make sure that the training is giving you the desired benefit. It's also interesting to see just how hard one needs to train to meet their goals. Without performance testing, any perceived improvement is anecdotal at best.

Here's a very interesting article: http://www.sportsci.org/2009/ss.htm
