My continuous 90min long run today was at the end 1.4mmol, and my lactate baseline is 1.2mmol.
Question: Was lactate level too high, spot on or too low?
That is pretty low; resting levels for a lot of people.
One factor one must take into account is glycogen availability. You can have low lactate levels if you are not burning glycogen. I would see it in athletes who ran a race and then did not replenish glycogen stores sufficiently.
I would say the HR has no exact link to lactate, but ok, i did the run at 74%HRmax.
Day before was easy day.
74%???
Slow down your horses, amigo, should aim below 70% if it is typical long run and not some moderate run during HM or M cycle closer to 8 weeks before the race, but it is hard to recommend, maybe you are using low mileage system with high intensity and below 75% is also acceptable too
I would say, that you ran little bit faster, try to aim around 70% and measure lactate, it shoud be around 1.0-1.2 mmol, spot on.
You gave us resting and active blood lactate but you didn't give us your: 1) height & weight, 2) body fat percentage, 3) age, 4) health history, 5) medications, 6) fitness routine/work or 7) alcohol &/or street drug use. If you work all day as a deep sea fisherman or lumberjack then run, your activities, drug use and alcohol consumption may influence results, not just your training pace.

Yea OP, and don't forget to report the length of your dong too

Ok. Yesterday I did some test, after 60min of running at pace what reccomend Tinman calculator based on my last race 10km @34:00 (easy pace by Tinman: 04:41--04:51min/km).
I ran 04:44min/km
Lactate=1.0mmol
HRavg=123bpm which is equal to 67% of my HRmax.
This session was a second easy run during the day.
Personnally, I need to aim all my easy runs:
1) best is <68% HRmax
2) acceptable is <70% HRmax
In order to have a minimum lactate level.
Honestly, I would say that Tinman calculator is pretty spot on for me at current fitness level 👍 even without measuring lactate. So that is why I do not measure lactate during easy runs, follow calculator and HR. If I am very tired at the next day after workout, I try just to aim for lower recommended range of suggested pace, while compare with HR, if at lower range of pace the HR is still more than 70%, I even further reduce the pace.

Question: Was lactate level too high, spot on or too low?
You are 0.2mmol above baseline which means this peace can't be supported by slow twitch fibers alone (they never fire alone but for the simplicity of discussion i name it that way). Also some fast twitch fibers (type IIa) are part of the game. They produce lactate.
The question is, is that bad, because you train slow and some fast twitch fibers altogether? If you feel good the day after and can follow your training plan, maybe not too bad.
