Common questions
What should I bring?
Kit you'd train in, water, a small towel and remove earpiercings if possible.
How early should I arrive?
10 minutes before your slot is plenty.
Do I need to fast?
No but avoid carbohydrates (foods and drinks) in the 3hrs before the test, as these may skew data
Can I drink coffee beforehand?
Ideally avoid extra caffeine in the 3hrs before the test as this affects your heart rate. We match your heart rate data to lactate readings
How long does the test take?
Allow around 1 hour for any appointment. That covers your warm up, the test itself and the briefing.
What happens after the test?
You get a detailed report with your zones, thresholds and pacing. We personalise the report to your specific goals and explain how to use your data to maximum effect.
