Training Lactate Pulse-Rate

An oldie but goodie, and the science is still good. This is essential background knowledge for anybody who is serious about effective training for cycling, running or swimming. Janssen uses heart rate training curves from well-known professional athletes he has coached, and critically appraises the effectiveness of the sessions presented. We can then apply this critique when analysing our own heart rate curves. He teaches us the value of focusing on training one energy system per session, and clearly explains the relationship of blood lactate levels to different energy systems. Most athletes who purchase a heart rate monitor and start following Janssen's advice will notice significant performance gains. Still one of the best books on endurance training out there.
