Summary

Q&A #65 - How much and when to train in the aerobars; Rest/freshness requirements before testing (e.g. lactate testing) How much is enough when it comes to training in the aerobars/Time Trial position? Does the amount of training in the aerobars change over the course of the year, or with training indoors compared to outdoors? What type of workouts should preferentially be done in the aerobars versus sitting up? How rested and fresh should you be before fitness testing such as lactate tests in order to get reliable and useful results? Do lactate or other tests 'never lie' or are there situations when you should disregard these test results?
