Chris Carmichael 8 Minute TT To Set Training Zone Question

I just did a Chris Carmichael 8 Minute TT to set my training zones for my current round of training. My average heart rate was 170. What is my Lactic Threshold? Is it 10% lower than this number which would make it 157?

Have you read his book? Why do you care about lactic threshold as it is not necessary to set your zones for Carmichael's program.

If I am doing the event I'm training for shouldn't I know what heart rate not to go over?
