Lactate Threshold versus Tempo Runs
by Allen

Which is a better workout? Which shows more gains physiologically? Well that depends on what your training for. If your training for a 10k or a half marathon then yes Lactate Threshold Runs are more important than Tempo Runs. Why? Well it is because in both of those races, more so in the 10k, you experience a build up of lactate acid in the body and that acid when converted to energy creates a by-product of H+ ions, which makes the blood acidic and the body feel crappy. So by doing a lactate threshold run you allow your body to cope with the excess lactate acid in your system.

One of the concepts that this article focuses on is the importance of recovery. If you aren’t recovering well after each workout you won’t ultimately be able to achieve your training goals. For the last year I’ve been using recovery products from Fluid Recovery. Their team has created a product that combines incredible taste with actual results.

If you’re tried different recovery drinks in the past but haven’t enjoyed them I would recommend giving Fluid a try.
