Does anyone have suggestions on how to minimize lactic acid build up on hard bike rides?
I know this will happen when going hard, but would like to minimize it as much as possible.
Why do you want to minimize it?

train a lot or go slower =)
seems like I start slowing down after some time, especially when the LA builds up and becomes painful.
Suffer.
Got it.
Haha no really, don’t try and reduce lactic acid:

theres no shortcut to this man, you just gotta get stronger.
Suffer more is right…and remember it doesn’t get easier…you just go faster!
You will have to go slower and/or get more fit. Lactic acid starts to build up when your body is low on oxygen and starts to use the lactate as fuel. So if you do not slow down the body will come to a point when it can no longer use the amount of lactate or lactic acid as energy and that starts to shut down your system to prevent injury and all that bad stuff.
You should read the NYT article linked above.

You are the master of those pics.
Edit: here is another random thing I found online about it too. Simple to read but good info, I guess that’s why its on a high school website, hah. http://www.delano.k12.mn.us/high-school/academic-departments/science/mr-b-wiesner/cross-country/10-things-you-should-know-about-lactic-acid
Train properly. Start with a Lacate Threshold test to determine your proper training zones and then train within those zones. Retest LT every so often to measure progress and reset zones.
Oh and HTFU, it’s not called Ironman because it’s easy and no one ever says lets “play” triathlon
Here is another article too that is similar to the NYT one. I’m taking Exercise Phys for my grad program so this stuff is pretty interesting to me. Check it out http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/04/060420235214.htm

pure bro science.

It ain’t pretty, but someone’s gotta do it…
wait…you’re in grad school for ex phys and you just spewed that? sigh…
Ahh I see my typo…I put “and starts to use lactate” when it really should just say it uses lactate. Could not figure out how to word the response and put two together and they are not correct. But once O2 levels decrease lactic acid does build up because the body cannot rid itself of the lactic acid due to the lack of O2. My apologies for the confusion but I am also by no means an expert but what is what I have learned and read so someone please correct me if I am wrong!
Also, I am not in grad school for exercise phys, I am just taking it for my Physical Education grad program so it is not as in depth I assume.
Not sure if you follow soccer but that streaker kind of looks like Wayne Rooney with hair, haha.
