What are VO2Max, lactic threshold, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and why are they important?
- VO2Max is a measure of how big your engine is. It is the volume of oxygen your body can process per unit of body mass per unit of time. Stated another way, VO2Max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can process.
- Our training focusing on improving your VO2Max. The more oxygen your body can process, the longer you can sustain faster running paces.
- Lactic threshold is the point where your engine begins to “overheat”. As you exercise your muscles produce lactic acid, which robs you of continued performance. The good news is your body can process lactic acid while you exercise, keeping your performance from declining quickly. Lactic threshold is the level of performance where your body is producing more lactic acid than it can process. Once the threshold is crossed, your ability to maintain performance diminishes rapidly.
- Raising your lactic threshold will make it so that your body can sustain higher levels of performance for longer.
- Heart rate variability (HRV) is how quickly your engine can rev up. As you exercise, your body’s oxygen requirements are constantly changing. Does your heart adjust to these demands quickly or is your heart constantly playing catch up to your actual oxygen needs?
