Lactate Tolerance & Threshold Integration
Why Threshold Matters
Threshold development enhances sustainable pace while lactate tolerance supports repeatability under fatigue.
Benchmarks
- Beginner: 4×5 min tempo
- Intermediate: 3×8–10 min threshold; HR drift <6 bpm
- Competitive: 2×15 min threshold + station pairing
4-Week Structure
- Week 1: 4×6 min
- Week 2: 3×8 min
- Week 3: 3×8 min + wall balls
- Week 4: -30% volume deload
Volume Caps
Threshold volume: 30–50 min depending on level.
