The Norweigan Model of Lactate Threshold Training

I wrote most of the articles found on this site, like Kenyan Training, a Practical Guide back in 2000 – 2004 when I was still running actively.

Since then, I’ve finished medical school, and since 2010 I’ve been busy working as a physician in Southern Norway. I still enjoy running, three times a week.

Note that the post below is by no means a scientific article – and it is not meant to either. Rather, it is some thoughts, reflections, and experiences from an empirical perspective.

Hopefully, this post can be helpful to some – both to understand the model and also to apply it to their own training. I ended up with a 13.06 5k with the approach, which I still believe was very close to my maximum ability, more so than most.
