What is Anaerobic Threshold? (+sample workouts!)
Exercise physiologists have long used thresholds as a way to measure transitions through exercise intensities, to quantify changes in fitness over time, and to evaluate metabolism in humans.
Often people refer to their “threshold” in the running world. But, as exercise physiologists, we know that there are actually at least two thresholds, the aerobic threshold and the anaerobic threshold, both with different purposes, physiologies, and work loads.

Do I Need Lactate and VO2 Max Testing?
Lactate and VO2max testing are two popular methods used to assess the fitness and performance of runners. These tests provide valuable information that can help athletes understand their physiological capabilities and identify areas for improvement. Lactate testing measures the point at which lactate begins to accumulate in the muscles during exercise, known as the lactate threshold. VO2max testing, on the other hand, measures the maximum amount of oxygen that an athlete can consume during exercise.
