Anaerobic Training and VO2 Max Simplified
Understanding anaerobic threshold and applying it to your training will make you a better athlete.
Simply put:
VO2 max (aerobic threshold) is the level at which your body cannot increase its intake of oxygen no matter how much the exercise intensity increases. If your VO2 max is your aerobic potential then you anaerobic threshold determines how much of that you can tap. Exercise beyond this point is known as anaerobic (without oxygen). This results in high levels of blood lactate. At this stage blood lactate cannot be removed at the level at which it is produced which causes an excess of blood lactate. For most, blood lactate starts to accumulate at a level much lower than VO2 max. The point at which blood lactate build up occurs is known as your anaerobic threshold.
