Threshold lactate test on Garmin 245 Music

Is there a way to do threshold lactate test on Garmin 245 Music?

  • No.

    Some basic research would have helped you there. Lactate can only be tested by analysing blood. Does your watch have access to your blood?

  • No. But Runalyze can give an indication 

  • Some basic research would have told you that you can very accurately judge lactate threshold with a well executed run or two.  You absolutely don't need to take blood to get an accurate estimation.  Will running test in a lab and taking a blood test be more accurate?  Of course it will.  But rarely needed by an average runner.  Yes the only way to measure the actual lactate lvl in blood,  is a blood test.  But the ? was determining lactate threshold, which with a little basic research would have helped you understand that it is possible.  An to answer the ? being asked, unfortunately I don't think the 245 does.  Most models since do have the actual feature built in so you don't have to do the math yourself, however its really quite simple once you've determined your max heart rate.   

  • Not to auto detect your LTHR. 

    But you can do a field test, 20-30 minute for Running Lactate Threshold Heart Rate and you'll be able to.manually input the results as use the HR zones with LT.

    Trainingpeaks or TrainRight blog will have the specifics for the testing.
