Lactate Threshold Test

First the parameters:
2 hour easy bike on trainer yesterday
1.5 beers last night
~7 hours sleep, maybe less
Uncertain about resting HR, but it seemed on par when I put the monitor on.

Test consisted of running 10 minutes to track (too wet/snow covered to use) then going 20 mins all out and using that average as my LTHR. Apparently this is Joe Friel's method.

Results:
179 bpm HR average

(Distance was only 5k. 10k might be a better indicator, but I still felt like I had some gas left in me by the end so I'm not sure how much it would change.) I'll do another test in a month and see how it differs.)
