Who it’s for

Is this test right for you?

Cycling

Cyclists and triathletes who want to connect aerobic fitness, threshold and training decisions.

Running

Runners and triathletes who want a fuller assessment before planning their next training block.

Bike testing takes place on the Wahoo KICKR Bike; run testing uses the treadmill. Choose the discipline relevant to your goals. If you need both, discuss the booking requirements before arranging separate appointments.

What it measures

What you’ll learn

The lactate stages examine your response to increasing workload. The ramp examines oxygen uptake at higher intensity. We explain how the protocol connects these measures and what can be concluded from your results.

Protocol

What happens on the day

On the bike

We discuss your goals, explain the combined protocol and guide you through the bike assessment, with time to review the findings.

On the run

We review your training, explain the protocol and guide the treadmill assessment. Setup and discussion form part of the appointment.

Your results

How results change your training

We explain the measured findings, the threshold method and the implications for training. The aim is to identify useful priorities and clarify intensity, rather than reduce your performance to a single score.

Your findings can inform a seven-zone training prescription and a conversation about your next training block. You can use testing alongside an existing coach or explore Endurance Lab coaching for ongoing programme reviews.

Preparation

Before your test

Read your confirmation and follow its exercise-test preparation instructions. Bring suitable shoes, clothing and water. Tell us about illness, injury or any limits on exercise so suitability can be reviewed before testing.
