Is lactic acid your friend or not? 

Lactic threshold training can be your friend and your worst enemy. Lactic acid alters normal function of molecules and enzymes and in turn inhibits production of ATP. You may be wondering what ATP are- they are your body's energy source. During the swim or at the beginning of an exercise you're not getting enough oxygen to your body so you have oxygen debt. Your body is only producing 2 ATP until you hit your steady state when you produce 32 ATP and you are once again efficient with energy and oxygen. Your body will continuously go through these stages. Also, when you start an exercise or transition to the next, your ATP energy system is low again and now your body has an increase in hydrogen ions which compete with calcium tropoin (this is what helps contract your muscles) and this is when you feel like your arms and legs are heavy.  So when you become more efficient working through the stages you will become a better triathlete. So lactic threshold workouts should be implemented weekly.
