so the reason he hasn't made any improvements in his zone two is because he's been training in zone one he's he doesn't have enough training stimulus
every day he's checking his lactate and he's basically halting his output at lactate 2 and I started to suspect by asking him some questions that he's not actually pushing hard enough he's actually in zone one even though his lactate is two so we looked at his resting lactate and L and behold it's about 1.4
