• What the terms aerobic threshold, anaerobic threshold, lactate threshold, ventilatory threshold, functional threshold, and other related terms really mean
• How the thresholds relate to your training
• How the thresholds relate to your racing
• Why it is important to understand the thresholds to train optimally for your event-specific limiters
