Jan Olbrecht's Book on Training

In this book, Jan Olbrecht lays out his approach to training which emphasizes the training of the muscle's energy systems. This is the same approach he uses to advise such world class swimmers as Pieter van den Hoogenband and Ironman world record holder, Luc Van Lierde. No training zones or heart rates because each athlete must have individual training based on their conditioning profile which includes how their energy systems will interact during training and competition. Jan uses an unique method of lactate testing to assess the athletes he advises because it is the only way he can get the necessary information to train them correctly. He is a maestro.

Our Assessment - We publish and distribute the "Secrets of Lactate" CD-ROM so naturally it is our favorite. The CD-ROM has a bibliography of over 3400 references and we have read most of these articles and have distilled and organized what we think is most important and put it on this CD-ROM. Thus, for lactate testing it is the best source of information in the world.

For training, Jan Olbrecht's book is by the far the best book available as he introduces ideas you will not see in any other book on training. It is also the basis for a large part of our information on lactate testing. . We have have found no one who understand the relationship between lactate testing and athletic performance better than Jan and as we said above we have searched the world. Jan is a maestro. However, the book is difficult to purchase and is only availble from the publisher in Belgium.

Ernie Maglischo's latest book on swimming, "Swimming Fastest" has over 350 pages (out of 800 pages) on planning, training and exercise physiology. Included is a detailed discussion on lactate testing.
