Morning 👋 well that was a bit more comfortable. Rob ( sometimes Robert across a crowded Pub) is still dozy but has a train to catch soon. Caught this DHL 777 on approach to EMA during the storm when lightning ⚡️ started. Nice cool start so enjoy your day...

Finally broke out the lactate meter this morning. Starting with this on the bike because I want to get comfortable taking my own samples before I start bringing it to the track and trying to do this during run workouts. Started with 25 min at 150W, then took a sample and started working my way up in 25W steps. 175, 200, 225, 250, 275W, holding each for ~5 min before taking another sample. I took a few extra readings along the way when something didn’t look right, which is how I ended up with: 150W: 0.6 / 1.4 / 0.8 (~101 HR) 175W: 0.5 (~110 HR) 200W: 0.6 (~117 HR) 225W: 2.2 / 2.2 / 1.7 (~126 HR) 250W: 1.1 (~136 HR) 275W: 1.6 (~143 HR) So yeah, the lactate numbers are a little all over the place. HR progression at least makes a lot more sense. Honestly most of today was just figuring out how to take the samples. Used my fingers and there was a lot more trial and error than I expected. How hard to prick, wiping a few times, then realizing sometimes I’d wiped enough that I could barely get any blood out, getting a big enough drop, figuring out how to actually touch it to the strip. I even realized at one point I was touching the wrong part of the strip. By 275W I was trying to do the whole thing while still pedaling and got a couple E-4 errors. Eventually stopped pedaling, got enough blood, got the 1.6 and called it. Definitely got better at it as I went though. I’m a lot more confident in the later samples than I am in some of the earlier ones just because I actually started to figure out what I was doing. By the end I felt a hell of a lot more comfortable than I did on that first sample. The plan is eventually to move to the ear and get comfortable enough with this that I can bring it to the track and take samples during workouts without the whole thing turning into a 10-minute ordeal. A lot to learn, but this is gonna be fun😈
