{{DISPLAYTITLE:BSX Lactate Threshold Monitor}}
BSX is a simple, easy to use [[Running Sensors| Running Sensor]] that estimates your [[Lactate Threshold]], but I don't believe its results are correct or useful. You just wear the BSX monitor in a custom calf compression sleeve that it comes with, along with the BSX app on your phone, while running on a treadmill. The BSX app tells you what pace to run at, which increases every 3 minutes until you can't continue, at which point it (probably) tells you (it's guess at) your [[Lactate Threshold]] pace. Sadly, while the BSX simple and easy to use, the results are rather dubious and it's unclear to me if it does a better job than simply using an estimate of your 10K race pace. (This review is for the second generation BSX; for results of the first generation, see [[BSX Gen1]].) '''It seems that BSX has abandoned sales of this sensor, and is going to will decommission the cloud services it requires in Feb 2019. However, they have released the code to their [[Connect IQ]] data field to be usefulthe open source community. '''More at http://blog.bsxtechnologies.com/2018/02/09/bsxinsight/
