Start Your Heart Rate Training

Description

 

Our VO2 protocols have been supercharged with lactate testing, so you can get even more reliable information. Plus, get a Wahoo Tickr Heart rate monitor with your bundle - so you can put your new heart rate training data into practice!

 

Day One. Assessment #1: Fat Max. 2 min stage protocol looking at your best zones for burning fat and aerobic training (Zones 1-4). An easy test up to 12 min.

Day One. Assessment #2: VO2 Peak. Your best maximum oxygen consumption and measure of fitness. Performed 10 min after the Fat Max test.  
A shorter version of VO2max looking at your cardio-respiratory efficiency and limits (Zones 5-6).  Only 4-6 min.

Day Two. Assessment #3: Lactate Threshold. What is your best steady state for exercise? A new look at your FTP using fingertip blood lactate samples.  
3 x 6 min efforts at different workloads.   
The lactate threshold can be done the next day or week after Day One testing.
