That's interesting if your lactate was low after exercise because a couple of days ago I tested with my lactate machine and after walking 2 miles and resting an hour the two tests were almost identical. I was only walking but to me it felt like I had been running - I collapsed on the bed after...

The device I bought (Glucorx x6) includes claims about accuracy in the leaflet that comes with test strips, including differences in accuracy between venous and capillary tests. See image.
