Lactate threshold training works at the intensity where lactate production and clearance balance, building sustainable race pace.
Lactate threshold training targets the intensity where lactate production and clearance balance—often tempo runs, sweet-spot rides, or cruise intervals. It raises sustainable pace without the full cost of VO₂ max intervals.
Sessions typically feel “comfortably hard” for 20–40 minutes.
