How do people approximately calculate their LT1 and LT 2 without a blood test?

:robot: just trying to reduce my carbon footprint by doing workouts outside… My coach calls me Steady Eddy sometimes LOL.

How do you reconcile that statement with, if I understand correctly, that muscle fibers are always producing some lactate even when at rest. That doesn’t appear to be an all-or-none situation, and hence your 3rd sentence although its not clear in my mind of the two stable states when using blood lac…

I made a general comment about the existence of switches in living organisms or ecosystems. I did not say that all biological systems are switches. Switches are components of biological systems.

Dead vs alive is pretty binary. An important switch in population dynamics, hence at a very large scale. Just one example …

Unfortunately there is such a thing. When do you declare someone on a life support machine dead? What is dead?
