Your watch estimates.
Your blood doesn't.


Most athletes train off a number their device made up. It's fine, until you plateau and have no idea why.

« Before you test

You’re making do with estimates. Maybe you’re using formulas or your device-established zones, online calculators, or field tests. You kind of know your zones, but you’re not 100% sure where your fitness really is or how to get the most out of your training.

After you test »

You know your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. You have accurate training zones for heart rate, pace, and power. You understand when and how to use them. You train with confidence, measure your progress, and stop wasting time on junk miles.

What's involved?

A lactate test measures how your body responds to increasing intensity.

  • You’ll complete 4+ stages of running or cycling, each a little harder than the last.
  • Between stages, we take a tiny blood sample from your finger to measure lactate levels.
  • We track your heart rate, perceived effort, and pace/power at every stage.

From there, we map your lactate curve, pinpoint your thresholds, and set your personalised training zones.

It’s science, but it’s simple, and it works.

See the difference

When you train with the right structure, your lactate curve shifts to the right, and your thresholds go up. That means:

  • You can run or ride faster at the same effort.
  • You delay fatigue and recover quicker.
  •  You get more fitness return from every session.

In plain English: you become a faster, more efficient athlete.

How to prepare

To get the most from your test:

  • No (or very light) training the day before.
  • No training on the day of your test.
  • Arrive well-hydrated and skip caffeine or stimulants.
  • Wear sports kit (shorts, tee/singlet, shoes).
  • For bike tests: bring your own bike and gear.

Stop guessing and start training with confidence.

FAQ

Does it hurt?

No. You'll work to submaximal effort and only require very small blood samples from your fingertip between stages. Most athletes barely notice it and your safety is our main priority

Is this only for elite athletes?

Not at all. We test beginners, weekend warriors, and pros alike. If you train, you’ll benefit.

How often should I test?

Most athletes test once or twice a year. If you’re training for a big race or have made significant progress, retesting helps keep your zones up to date.

What’s the difference between a lactate test and a VO₂max test?

A VO₂max test measures your aerobic capacity. A lactate test pinpoints your training zones more precisely. They complement each other, but lactate testing is the gold standard for setting zones.

Can I eat before the test?

Yes! Just avoid caffeine or stimulants. A light meal 2–3 hours before is fine.
