"I started lactate testing on myself 3 months ago...
and a few cycling friends to familiarize myself with the procedure. Even when I applied all the essential hygiene procedures, I sometimes got readings that seemed unbelievable and that I didn't keep. Watching the video "Your first lactate test", I became aware of the little details you showed in the course. Good points! I think I've taken a big step forward for my next tests."

You have Questions, we have Answers!
To implement Protocol 41, you'll need a lactate analyzer and access to a modality on which to perform the tests (running, cycling, etc.). I recommend using a bike to begin with.
The lactate test is a way of determining a person's training zones based on their current physiological profile rather than arbitrary heart rate percentages. The lactate test is important to ensure that you don't waste time training and that you get the progress you've been hoping for!
Protocol 41 is a lactate testing protocol designed for those who wish to optimize their conditioning (cardio) training and better understand their physiology. Whether you're a coach or an athlete, take your training to the next level with Protocol 41.
By individualizing your training zones with the lactate test, you can ensure that every minute spent on conditioning is put to good use. Organize your training according to your own physiology and quantify your progress over time.
I've had success using Protocol 41 to help athletes improve their fitness in endurance sports, but not only. These include cycling, rowing, running, cross-country skiing, kayaking, grinding (upper body cycling), Hyrox, Spartan Racing but also CrossFit, MMA, boxing, soccer, rugby, volleyball, tennis and many more.
You can absolutely apply the principles of this course outdoors. However, it should be noted that the logistics of outdoor testing are not as straightforward as if you were "on site" (home trainer, treadmill, etc.).
That's exactly what you'll learn with this course: Protocol 41 for athletes. All the details are included to make your first steps in lactate measurement as easy as possible!
The protocol I'm going to present in this course is an excellent starting point for most athletes wishing to improve their fitness. You can discover other lactate testing protocols on my resources page.
Protocol 41 includes a dashboard designed to help you through the analysis process. Each stage of interpretation is explained in detail. You'll also learn how to organize your training based on your test results.
Absolutely! There's no deadline or set pace. You're free to complete the course at your own pace.
The lactate test is absolutely safe when performed correctly. Follow the safety recommendations and consult your healthcare professional if you have any doubts about performing a lactate test.
Absolutely! Anyone who wants to train optimally and individually for running or cycling should know their physiological profile. That's what Protocol 41 is all about.
Absolutely! Protocol 41 adapts easily to all modalities, as long as you can display watts (power) or speed (km/h or min/km).
I've had great success applying Protocol 41 with athletes in the Sport of Fitness and MMA. Think of it as the foundation for all your training. The better your conditioning, the better you can train, the harder you can train and the better you will perform.
Lactate testing with Protocol 41 will help you monitor your overall conditioning (e.g. cycling or running). Although it's not about the sport itself (unless you're a cyclist, runner or triathlete), it will have a direct impact on any training you do for your sport.
This course is designed for those who wish to test themselves as athletes. This course is not intended to teach you how to offer a lactate testing service. Consult your local authorities about the legal aspects of performing a lactate test on others.
