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?
About 45 minutes. Roughly 10 minutes warm up and 35 minutes on the treadmill.
What happens after the test?
You get a detailed report with your zones, thresholds and pacing within 72 hours. We personalise the report to your specific goals and explain how to use your data to maximum effect.
