So if I understood you well, you agree that if the removal of lactate will be done more in the 'oxidation' way by the ST-fibers than in a 'buffering' way by organs and wathever wich other tisues, you possibly extend the point in a race where glycogen-depletion will happen?
So what is interesting than, especially for the trainers at this board:
Is there any SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE of how to improve the ability of lactate-oxidation in TRAINING? I know the theories about it (Owen Anderson, George Brooks), but as you say, measuring lactate-levels only gives us an 'total outcome' instead of a clear view in the black box of production and removal, so it is very hard to prove a possible effect of training in this case.
