Professional athletes would be a little higher but not much.

I’ve been cycling for two years now. My lactate threshold seems to be around 174bpm (my max is 190bpm) at 265 watts. From what you’re saying an elite athlete would be able to maintain their lactate threshold at a higher heart rate thus the ability to produce more power?

If you are a beginner it will be at a much lower heart rate than if you are an elite athlete.

I’m hoping to race come next spring and have no idea on how to gauge how to train at this part of the year. I have been working on my ftp of late (via a plan I received), but now after reading your article I’m wondering if it is far too early in the season to be doing this kind of work…..
