Oh, the fuzzy questions I get on PM, the raw data you post for everyone to see... I'll remember that in the future! ;-)

I just got it!

You'll probably die. Isn't your dad a doc?

Did they get some small amount of blood from finger/ear? What machine did they use to analyze the blood sample? When did you last eat before the test? You popped a gel right before, didn't you. Cheater.

I would worry more about the 13km/h LT pace than the glucose. And either way, with the amount of shit you eat, I'm not surprised ;-)

dont worry about the glucose, it is completely inside the normal range...

126 is the response from you liver for the hormones you released when started and ran at high effort, adrenalin, cortisol etc etc, they are glucose releaser... comes from our anciests... The man would ran away from the hungry lion... his body would have glocuse enough so he wouldn´t get cought ( I would as crap runner I am!)

yeah, agree with SmartAC... 13km/h is far worse from 126 glucose..

train lots,

Okay...I just want to make sure I'm not an idiot, but your Lactat Threshold Heart Rate is 198? Are you a hummingbird? Most people I know max out at around 195 at the end of sprint. Heck, I read Lance Armstrong's HR during TTs (which is prob. around LT) is like 180. Let me know if I'm wrong???

freestyle is 15...

that could be right, I run a 5k in the mid 190s, did it last year going 220 for the first mile (I was curious to see if I could stick with the lead pack...) then hauling my hurting ass in at 199 for the last two miles. Max HR doesn't tell much of a story one atlete to the next.

...and he's also a hummingbird

Is that a typical test protocol? I'm curious as to why there was an initial 4 min all out interval.

What are the units of the lactate measurement?

---

_______________________________________________

It's easier to spot the lactate break point. This way the lactate is high at the beginning of the test and comes down for most of it. When it starts going up again that's your LT.

The speeds are slower than normal though. My legs were toast from the all out effort (I hate starting out fast). I think this is the reason I don't like duathlons. If I start out fast I can never hit my target pace for the run.


edit: I'm 16 in a week

edit2: And no, I did not pop a gel right before the test.

I did eat one right before a math test once to see if it helps; Nope.

LTHR = 13km/h ??? Didn't you say you were doing like 17-18 minutes for 5ks ? I doubt you would with such numbers ???

We still believe in you.

This test seems completely screwed up. I am guessing it is the sprint at the start. I never heard of that one before.

I would think these old, fat, slow bones would be moving faster than 7:30 miles, if my arithmetic is right, at threshold. I did an outstanding 5K the other day. I won't tell you the time, because you will laugh. Suffice it to say I am at least 1 minute/mile slower than you.

On the other hand, I can smoke your math test for you.

LOL...just saw that...if you can run 4' at 15.5km/h on a 5% slope...there is no way your LT is only 13km/h....unless EVERYTHING was done on a 5% slope??

15.5km/h at 5% over 4' would likely give about 18km/h on a flat road. So maybe a vo2max between 17.5 and 18km/h
which puts your LT definitely NOT at 13km/h....

Everything is done at the same slope. And that is a valid protocol to find the lactate breakpoint, which is somewhat lower than MLSS. I don't have the reference to it here, I can get it tomorrow if you want.

ok...so 13km/h at 5% isn't too bad...it's not fast, but not as slow as I thought at first...

Diabolo, this test is after a couple of weeks off from training. When I'm in shape I can run around 18 for 5k.

And after 5(FIVE) weeks without running... :-p

Hey! That's top-secret information!

And I'll ask again: What does the high glucose mean?

Too many gummy bears!

My dad said the guy with the glucose in the 50's was even on the low side, but everyone else was around 70-90 for the test, and I was at 100+.

Where's theswiss? He should be able to answer this.

theswiss is busy looking for a 70-tooth chainring.

high glucose means you should add a bit of blood to go with the coke in your veins...stop eating shit! ;-)
