Ever wonder why your legs suddenly feel like molten lava halfway through a long climb? ???? You can thank your lactate threshold for that.

In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down lactate threshold training simply, with no science degree required. You’ll learn what it actually is, how to estimate it using simple field tests (even without fancy gear!), and how to use it to train smarter this off-season.

Plus, I’ll share four go-to workouts you can plug into your week to build fatigue resistance, endurance, and on-bike strength, so you can ride longer, recover faster, and crush next season with confidence.

Four key workouts to boost endurance and fatigue resistance????️‍♀️ Why off-season strength training makes all of this even more effective
