Other than as a personal training metric, it's meaningless and has no comparative value between individuals or as a determinant for what aspect of the sport might best suit you.
I'm not referring to a cross-rider comparison, where my LTHR being higher is somehow indicative of more potential. But something more akin to a power profile, or heart rate profile, where different heart rate profiles are indicative of... something.
So, the fact that graphs and badhat hit threshold at around 87% of maxHR, whereas I hit threshold at 93% of maxHR, doesn't have any significance? edit: that anyone knows of?
