what i would say in the best state is maybe periodically check your lactate like once a month once a week and learn to rely on those other signs and and things such as your heart rate and your perceived exertion

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
we don't use lactate testing on people at that level we basically do the whole thing off RP
even if a person is deconditioned we will we will not use lactate on them because an individual that's coming in who's metabolically unhealthy tends to have very high resting lactates in fact there were people walking around with a lactate of 2 Millo at rest clearly in that person using lactate provides no value and you should rely on heart rate and RP and in that person
a couple things have to be true one you have to be willing to kind of poke yourself with a lactate stick and and and again I just don't think that that's necessary for most people secondly you have to be at a certain level of fitness and I think a litmus test for that is if your resting lactate is above one you shouldn't be using lact tape
