Yesterday we had Will Jones of 4th Dimension Fitness administer Lactate Tests at the shop.The 4 victims encountering a "near death" experience were John Storment, Kyle Love, Ruud Vuijsters and Steven Anson.
The best analogy of the test was given by Kyle:
"It's like a great ride, finishing with a very nasty climb of a very nasty hill, where you just can't get out of the saddle or shift gears!"
The test itself takes about one hour, in which Will has one go up in effort (output of watts), in four minute increments. At each increase, blood it taken from a finger tip, heart rate is recorded as is one's subjective description of performance (measured from 'no effort to 'very very hard'). We didn't get the final results in, but hopefully with the help of 4th Dimension Fitness we can dedicate a post to this, in near future. This test is recommended for any athlete, who wants to get the optimal results from his/her training!
When this sparked your interest, please contact Will
at: The 4th Dimension Fitness
in order to schedule a Lactate Test.
Ruud; we could have done without the nut shot....LOL.
