Lactate Pro 2 versus EDGE

Unnecessary to ridiculous

Must we take just your assertion or do you have something to substantiate it?

Not directly, but a friend of mine and his coach are using this machine. Allow them to precisely turn training velocities. What is strange and surprising, most of the times the recommendation is to slow down. Like do intervals 10 s/km slower etc. For the coach the results are great, has several sub 2:20 marathons. But the process is not the easiest if you try to do it alone and on the track, just finishing your interval training work. May result in several wasted testers and blood everywhere. Its not like glucose testing. High HR and elevated presure results in stronger blood flow from your finger.

Being into science and numbers it appears to be a unique opportunity to learn.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little, what's a safe site to order Lactate Pro 2? Preferably in Europe. Any deals?

Several people I know and myself bought from with no issues with shipment to different side of Europe.

Be aware that at the moment there are some delay with stock shipments from JP to ES (supposedly some changes to plastic import policies or similar resulting in items being stuck in customs before allowed to EU). Would suggest reaching out to them and checking if they have Pro 2 in stock (which is then sent within EU with no issues) and what would be timeline otherwise.

Found no issues in taking samples on myself.

Yes with the Lactate Pro 2. What is your question?

1) Can this be used with 2 athletes working out simultaneously, or is there more lag time than the 15 seconds test time?

2) Does it offer consistent readings in different ambient temperatures?

3) Were you confident that it was providing accurate enough baselines to see if change could be documented over time?

1) No. There is only one slot for a test stripe. However, you can test one athlete, it takes 15sec, change the test stripe and measure the other.

2) The device is specified within +5 to +40°C. You have to wait 20minutes for the device to adopt to a different ambient temperature (see user manual).

3) Any measurement has its tolerance. However, a change in baseline can be identified if you do more measurements.

In general a lot of things can go wrong with lactate measurements and measuring lactate is only one side (the easy side). More interesting and difficult is the interpretation of the measurement result.
