Also, it is probably less accurate predictor of marathon performance that either the peak treadmill running velocity measured during the v02max test; the prediction based on racing performance at shorter distances; or even the athletes own predictions provided they are experienced marathoners. Indeed, in equally well trained cyclists, measurements of blood lactate parameters was found to be of negligible value in predicting there performances (hoogeveen and chep 1997). Despite the hype that surrounds the value of lactate testing in predicting performance in runners, the expectations have unfortunately not been met. Changes in blood lactate concentrations during exercise can give some indication of weather the athlete's fitness has improved or regressed, but there is little added value in using blood lactate measurements for the prediction of performance.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933445191552483123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585933584736786061.post-80776963456095248442009-08-11T21:53:52.724-07:002009-08-11T21:53:52.724-07:00If we had to vote and pick on of the most entertai...If we had to vote and pick on of the most entertaining blogs, I think yours would win by a mile.

I wish I could have picked up on your super secret swim technique at the start of the race but you disappeared way to fast. <br /><br />That race is coming, hopefully in November. If you need running partner let me know. I am in the same boat, and the only way it is going to improve is to get out there and make it happen.<br /><br />Congrats to Jessa, it was great seeing her in the transition area and way to rock the race. She beat my time from my race 3 years ago.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126951698238466083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585933584736786061.post-35538218137310801822009-08-10T22:40:11.651-07:002009-08-10T22:40:11.651-07:00Great race, Benny!

I apparently had more favors owed to me than you in the karma dept.<br /><br />It was great seeing you out there again on the start line. Seems like we have lined up together a lot this year.<br /><br />I really think you have a breakout race in you this year. You just need to decide at what distance you want it to be, an which one. I'd just rather not be racing at the time :)<br /><br />Congrats to you and Jessa in sharing this great sport. It's really better than an individual accomplishment.<br /><br />RogerRoger Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463326772396925975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585933584736786061.post-23324530417106218072009-08-10T21:32:24.561-07:002009-08-10T21:32:24.561-07:00Regarding mullets, I know nothing.

You could one day publish a study showing the long-term effects of such treatment. My guess is the neglected twin would not only blow up animal shelters and whatnot, but also be the better athlete.<br /><br />-VChuckie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738989108681024384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585933584736786061.post-31450663766398667642009-08-10T20:58:39.700-07:002009-08-10T20:58:39.700-07:00Since my chances of growing much of anything on to...Since my chances of growing much of anything on top of my head, let alone a mullet, seem to be fading rapidly, it was good to race CDA and see you blasting towards the finish.<br /><br />Congratulations to the both of you - you guys rock.Spokane Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322733412232169837noreply@blogger.com
