Estimate Your Maximal Lactate Steady State Using Ventilatory Thresholds

Understanding the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) is crucial for endurance athletes, as it signifies the highest intensity one can sustain without causing significant intramuscular or blood pH imbalances. Essentially, MLSS is a key indicator for gauging endurance performance, reflecting the ability to maintain a high aerobic rate during prolonged exercise. Breakthrough Study: Ventilatory Thresholds …

Training at altitude with CHASKi

The benefits of altitude training Altitude training is common practice among endurance athletes seeking to improve performance. It is generally performed at > 2,000 meters (> 6,560 ft) above sea level and induces a series of physiological adaptations, such as increased production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which improve the body’s ability to transport and utilize oxygen. These adaptations generate improved …
