Low isoleucine diet question and reference article

As with other listeners, would very much like you to weigh in on the supposed benefits of a low isoleucine diet. Will you?

Lactate

My resting lactate in the morning is usually 0.8-1. However if I check later in the afternoon, it is sometimes 1.5-1.7. Does the baseline pre-workout lactate have any bearing on what zone 2 lactate should be? For example if my pre workout lactate is 1 and my post workout lactate is 2, that would seem to confirm it was a zone 2 workout. But if my pre workout lactate is 1.5 and post workout it is 2 (which I have seen in myself), does this also confirm the workout was zone 2? Does the post workout value of 2 have a different meaning depending on whether the pre lactate value was 1 or 1.5?

Hot Yoga

75 minutes of hot yoga, whether it be Bikram, yoga or flow yoga, as a full body and mind workout, but I noticed you don't talk about Yoga. Have you tried one of these challenging classes? I would love your input.
