220-Age Misconceptions and Determining your Lactate Threshold
How many of you triathletes out there are using this formula? Put up your hand and admit it - I can't see you through cyber space. :-)
If I receive one more email that says an athlete is using the 220-Age formula, I am going off the DEEP END! People, this is not correct. It may work, but chances are very slim it will work for you.
