About Anaerobic Threshold

The anaerobic threshold (AT) is the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood faster than it can be removed. Training at or near this threshold improves your body's ability to clear lactate and sustain higher intensities.

Key Benefits:

  • Improved Endurance: Delays fatigue during sustained efforts
  • Better Race Performance: Allows you to maintain higher speeds
  • Efficient Training: Optimizes your training zones
  • Progress Tracking: Monitors fitness improvements

Training Zones:

  • Zone 1 (50-60%): Active recovery and warm-up
  • Zone 2 (60-70%): Aerobic base building
  • Zone 3 (70-80%): Aerobic threshold training
  • Zone 4 (80-90%): Lactate threshold training
  • Zone 5 (90-100%): VO2 max and speed work
