MOST Runners Get Lactate Threshold WRONG | Dr Peter Tran

Most runners train to improve their lactate threshold. But what if improving it is actually making you slower? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Peter Tran — sports medicine PhD, 1:14 half marathoner, and co-founder of Athyx — to break down everything runners over 40 need to know about lactate, how to actually use it to guide training, and why most of what you've heard about lactate threshold training is wrong.We also get into fueling strategies, the truth about high carb versus low carb for endurance athletes, and the future of continuous lactate monitoring — including Peter's new wearable device that could change how runners train forever.Get your Hume Health Body Pod with up to 50% OFF👉 https://humehealth.com//discount/ENDURANCELAB?redirect=/pages/hume-body-pod&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=ENDURANCELABUse code: ENDURANCELAB Get 10% off the Athyx Flux 1👉 https://www.athyx.com/Use Code: ELAB10To receive your discount, you need to create an account on the Athyx website.The Endurance Lab Training Plans (5K, 10K, Half & Full Marathon)👉 http://theendurancelab.run/training-plans Check out all of the exclusive discounts from Partners of The Endurance Lab👉 https://theendurancelab.run/exclusive-discounts0:00 Why lactate matters4:39 LT1 and LT2 explained11:22 Lab vs real world testing17:52 Maximal lactate steady state24:11 Using lactate to guide training29:48 One test tells you nothing32:06 Shifting the lactate curve36:29 Lactate data over time39:42 Lactate vs heart rate45:04 High carb vs low carb and lactate50:46 Continuous lactate monitoring56:15 Athyx Flux One#LactateThreshold #RunningScience #MastersRunners #EnduranceTraining #Zone2Training #LactateTraining #RunFaster #MarathonTraining #RunningOver40 #ContinuousLactate #Athyx #RunSmarter #EnduranceLab #FatAdaptedRunning #HighCarbRunning #TrainingLoad #RunningPerformance #VO2Max #LT1LT2 #NorwegianMethod
