The CLM sensor allows me to train in a very targeted way. As a long-distance triathlete, it is very important for me to stay in the right training zones. With the sensor, every training session is a hit because I can achieve exactly the target for that training session.


I also find using the sensor practically very easy, exactly the same as heart rate monitors as we already know them, the CLM sensor uses a chest strap and you can quickly see the data collected in the app.

Heart rate, fluid loss and real-time lactate are all measured so I can see immediately after training how much fluid I have lost (and thus need to drink extra if necessary).

During training, for example, I can perfectly stay just below my tipping point by keeping an eye on my lactate level, allowing me to train this tipping point and move up with it.

Previous Lactate Experience

"I now measure with a portable lactate meter. The problem is that a bit of sweat in the sample already produces totally different values. It is also time-consuming and I only have a single value.
Such a CLM sensor will shake up the established training ways and will be the future of sport-training.
