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.
if you want to use lactate monitoring you're going to get the best insight possible what if you don't either because you don't feel like wasting the money or you don't like poking your fingers or whatever then what i think you do is you start to triangulate between heart rate and perceived exertion
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 also add another metric which is relative perceived exertion RP um I'll tell you what my rule of thumb is but I'd like you to sharpen it refine it throw it out make it better whatever I tell patients based on my experience so I don't know how extrapolatable that is when I'm in zone two as confirmed by lactate levels so call it 1.7 to 1.9 which is what I Target mhm I can carry out a conversation
that's just a Zone 2 based on heart rate that's generally the worst approximation of Zone 2 so Zone 2 really is more based on lactate if we're going to be purely accurate or at a minimum RP
it's primarily managed through rpe rate of perceived exertion and as I've said before not really using my heart rate at all to determine where I'm going to be nor do I have a particular power Target
if you really want the gold standard for measuring zone two you got to be kind of checking lactate levels and I don't really Advocate that for people especially if they're starting out

the coaching for him was put the lactate meter away we're not going to pay any attention to it for the next six to 12 months and I want you to ride just on RP and the RP not the rate the RP is going to be what tells us that you are in zone 2
