Conclusions knowing Lactate Rate / VLaMax

Just listened to the Velonews podcast about VLaMax with Sebastian Weber. Probably one of the better/more informative podcast I’ve listened to. Wish I could hire that guy! Nice to validate what we are doing to improve TT or sprinting…

Anyways, @BummTschack, not that it really matters for me just interested, do you need to take blood to determine VLaMax? In the podcast Sebastian talked about figuring this out in the field with world tour teams. In part they plug in some metrics, whether 5 min, 1 minute, 10 minute power etc…I couldn’t determine if they were taking blood. I assume that’s the only way. Again just curious.
