Items to Bring Cyclists: - Bicycle (placed on a Wahoo Kickr) - Cycling Kit - Cycling Shoes - Towel - Heart Rate Strap - Water Bottle Runners: - Running Shoes - Running clothes - Towel - Heart Rate Strap - Water Bottle How to Prepare: - Be well rested (24-48 hours prior no strenuous activity) - No large meals 2-3 hours prior to testing - Stay well hydrated Important Disclaimer: Combined VO2 + Lactate Testing, while this package offers exceptional convenience and insight in a single session, simultaneous testing involves a slight trade-off in precision compared to separate sessions. Due to the decreased specificity, expect a 5–10% variance in results. These differences do not diminish the overall actionable value, the data remains far superior to wearables or program estimations and provides an excellent starting point for future testing. For absolute laboratory-grade precision, separate sessions are recommended. We prioritize transparency to match testing to your goals.
