  • CC photo #407: Coaches trying out lactate training

    Part of this weekend’s “Træner 2” basic coaching course here in the Faroe Islands. Here 15 second max sprints back and forth (me skipping the last repeat because I suck miserably at speed and changes of direction). Then 4 x 1 min ‘lactate tolerance’, and then 3 x 3 min endurance. All this so that we could try on our own bodies how it feels, and now we do. Ouch.
