# My lactate threshold Sources: - [[Lactate in workouts]] - [[Training zones]] ## Summary ## Notes ==The heart rate range for lactate threshold generally correlates to 70-80% of our heart rate reserve. Your heart rate reserve is the difference between your max and resting heart rates.== Let's assume my max heart rate is 180 BPM and my resting heart rate is 50 BPM. Using the 70-80% range, here's the formula I would use to determine my heart rate at LT: - low end: 0.7(180-50) + 50 = 141 - high end: 0.8(180-50) + 50 = 154 > [!NOTE] My predicted lactate threshold > 0.7(165-50) + 50 = 130 > 0.8(165-50) + 50 = 142 So, my HR range for LT is between 141- 154. Once you know your max HR and your resting heart rate, plug them in where I put 180 and 50, respectively. There's your approximate LT heart rate range. ## See also ![[Power (FTP) Seven (7) Training Zones#Notes]]
