Precise Performance LAB

Progression can only be achieved if your health and well-being is taken into consideration. This is why we Integrate a HRV (stress mapping) approach when planning and setting training. Using technology commonly found in most smart watches or HR monitors we can reduce the chance of injury/illness and maximise your fitness progression.

It was great to see coached rider Chris Opie back in the peloton at the Perfs Pedal Road Race a few weekends back. 15th place in typical damp Perfs weather, a great result.

After his recent Lactate dynamics assessment we’ve been adopting a highly focused plan, focusing on improving his Lactate buffering abilities when working at and above his threshold. We’ve also been keeping lots of variety in Chris’s training to suit his season goals.

What is lactate? Why should we measure it?

Lactate is a bi-product of glucose metabolisation. As we increase the intensity at which we exercise the concentration of lactate within the blood increases. By monitoring the threshold and rate of accumulation, the maximal steady state, the maximal concentration and the rate of clearance, we can look under the bonnet of an athletes physiology and paint a clear picture into the most effective way moving forward

The average cyclist will spend between 200-500 hours per year riding. Investing into understanding your unique physiology is therefore key. Lactate testing can provide the valuable insight needed to maximising progression, fitness and enjoyment.
