Hi,
So I would quite like to be able to measure my lactate levels during workouts a bit like Gjert tends to do with the Ingebritsen brothers. I have done a bit of digging and all the options look to be in the £100-£300 range (I live in the UK). Surely there is a cheaper option out there? Does anyone know how these machines work? I'm guessing it is some sort of cheap chemical reaction and a colorimeter indicating lactate level. Does anyone know how the NHS/private medical providers aquire these things?
Alternatively, has anyone come up with a simpler way to measure Lactate? I'd like to test the Lactate levels theory of training on myself and am currently a little limited in that sense as I have absolutely no data points correlating effort and lactate concentration.
Thanks.
