Stimulus: Lactate Threshold Pacing

Primary Objective: Maintain consistent paces on each set
Secondary Objective: Look for descending splits slightly that allow of

Workout Strategy
“True Gallop” is a controlled lactate threshold effort rewards discipline over aggression. Each set should feel strong but sustainable, with the intent to produce nearly identical times across all four efforts. The row should emphasize smooth leg drive and relaxed recovery, keeping stroke rate efficient rather than frantic. On the Echo Bike, find a cadence that allows you to transition immediately off the machine without needing extended recovery. Breathing control is the priority and the Echo should feel like working at the edge of threshold, not going past it.

Use the remaining time in each 4:00 segment to compose yourself and bring heart rate as close back to baseline as possible.

Row: Reduce Calories / Adjust to Ski Erg / Use Fixed :60–:75 Effort
Echo Bike: Reduce Calories / Adjust to Bike Erg / Use Fixed :60–:75 Effort
