Understand whether your metabolism is oriented more toward long distance, threshold performance or sprint power.
VLamax describes how quickly your body can produce lactate. For long-distance athletes, a low value is often beneficial; for sprinters, a high value can be useful. It only makes sense in context with LT1, LT2 and sport.
The app estimates VLamax in relation to your lactate curve and threshold performance.
You see whether your profile fits long endurance or high short-term intensity.
Base training, tempo work and sprint work can be planned more deliberately.
In long races, threshold is not the only limiter; carbohydrate use matters too. A lower VLamax can help preserve glycogen and stabilize the run after the bike.
An estimate is possible, especially for profile classification. A separate sprint test can improve calibration.
No. For Ironman and marathon a low value is often favorable. For sprint and short-duration efforts, a higher value can support performance.
VLamax affects carbohydrate use and where stable intensities settle. It should never be interpreted in isolation.
