Lactate Threshold Testing

If any of the Bozeman Tritons are interested in performing a lactate threshold test, please let me know. We can do this either on the bike (computrainer at 4800 or elsewhere) or during a run session as well. I have even helped people with swimming and nordic skiing as well. Regarding the bike, this can be an option when you have your functional threshold power determined along with power profiling. Yes, there is a fee for this service. Typical session lasts 90 minutes for a more comprehensive test! I have a flexible schedule; evenings and weekends work as well. I’d like to hear from you if interested. Contact Info: Matthew Parks USAT Level 1 Triathlon Coach at 406 580 7987.
