Running performance testing in Dublin

Connect your running training with a clearer picture of your fitness. Treadmill VO2max and lactate assessments help inform intensity and pacing; running analysis answers a separate movement question.

Choose the question you want to answer

A bigger assessment is not automatically a better choice. Match the test to your sport, recent training and the decision you want to make. Current availability, prices and payment are shown in the portal.

VO2max — €129 · 60 minutes

Assess aerobic fitness with gas analysis during an incremental run protocol. The result is explained alongside your goals and the conditions of the test.

Book run VO2max

Lactate — €139 · 75 minutes

Measure the lactate response across increasing efforts to help guide intensity and pacing. A threshold estimate depends on the protocol and interpretation.

Book run lactate

VO2max + lactate — €159 · 90 minutes

Combine aerobic fitness and lactate measurements in one appointment. Use the findings to discuss training zones and the next block of work.

From the lab to your training

We discuss your goals, explain the selected protocol and take the measurements required for that service. Afterwards, the findings are explained in plain language. Appropriate performance assessments can help inform training zones, pacing and priorities; they cannot guarantee a personal best.

Prepare for a useful result

Follow the instructions in your booking confirmation. Bring suitable clothing, shoes and water, and contact us about illness, injury or exercise restrictions before attending. Preparation differs between exercise tests and resting assessments. Do not change prescribed medication without advice from the professional managing it.

Do I need to be an Endurance Lab athlete?

No. Testing is open to self-coached athletes and athletes working with another coach.

Can I share the findings with my coach?

Yes. Your report can support a discussion with your coach; sharing with us or another professional is agreed with you.

When should I retest?

Choose a reason to reassess, such as reviewing a training block. Comparable protocols and preparation make repeat results more useful.
