We teach people to train smarter so they can race faster

We analyse small finger pricks of your blood while you run to precisely identify your zone 2 and lactate threshold heart rate.

We use this personalised Lactate data in your training to optimise your race performance or to lose weight.

Lactate Vs VO2 Max for performance gains

We use personalised data you to get fit and lose weight

At lower intensities we all burn fat as the primary fuel source. If you are trying to lose weight, actually training above this intensity you may not lose weight as fast as consistently training in your fat burning zone.

We will tell you exactly where your fat burning zone is using finger prick blood testing

Zone 2 fat burning

Enhance your aerobic fat burning engine

The key to endurance is teaching your body to burn fat as a primary fuel source. It’s a trade secret amongst the professionals and elites that we want to share

Learn more about Zone 2 training

Train at your actual lactate threashold

Identify your threshold pace, power and heart rate. Then use this data in your training to spend as much time in this zone as possible

By training consistently and frequently at this medium intensity you will raise your lactate threshold ceiling and improve your output

More about Lactate Threshold

Let's get personal

Using the data collected in the testing, we are able to prescribe to you exactly where you need to train to see the biggest performance gains in both zone 2 and lactate threashold.

Come get tested by us or rent the equipment and do it yourself at home or with your training group

Simply book an online testing slot and we will test you in our lab. Or rent the equipment and we send you everything you need to test yourself at home in your own time.

What we think?

  • Athletes guess their training zones using random online calculations

    In order to get the best personalised training zone data and the most from our sessions it’s by far the best to get tested in a lab.

    We find that everyone’s biology is different and those automated Garmin and Strava calculations of training zones very rarely align with our lab test data.

    Online suggested training zones 

  • We do do our easy sessions too hard and are then too fatigued to execute the hard ones consistently

    To get fit and faster its recommended to spend the majority of your training time in your aerobic fat burning zone 2 and then execute a quarter of your training at lacate threshold.

    Out test results generally show our zone 2 heart rate to be much lower than the online calculators show. Therefore we are training too hard too often.

    Common signs of over training 

  • We should aim to improve our fat max

    Stored in our bodies there is only about 1hr of glycogen when training at threshold but an almost infinite amount of energy in the form of fat.
    By training consistently at our fat max we can improve our output and significantly improve performance. The trick is identifying when the fat max is

    About FAT MAX 

  • Lactate heart rate is the best indicator of performance and fitness

    Improving your lactate threshold heart rate is the best and fastest way to improve performance. Also, Compared to running economy and VO2 max, Lacate threshold is the most trainable.
