Information
Get VO₂max and ventilatory thresholds (VT1/VT2) so “easy/tempo/interval” becomes exact speeds you can hold for 5K–marathon.
Set a true Zone 2 to build endurance faster, recover better, and stop wasting miles.
See where you switch from fat to carbs (RER/FatMax) to plan fueling and go longer without bonking.
Calibrate Garmin/Apple/Whoop/Pelaton. with lab-derived HR/pace zones so daily guidance matches your physiology, not generic estimates.
VO₂max is a powerful marker of endurance and health—watch it rise block-to-block alongside your PRs.
Your VO₂max, ventilatory thresholds (VT1/VT2), precise HR/pace zones for easy, tempo, and intervals, lung capacity and utilisation, fat burning efficiency, recovery capacity and health vs biological age.

Snapshots from Your Report
This merely shows parts of the report that you will receive to a dedicated app on your phone from which you can check your progress as you retest, improve and reset your training and nutrition.
FAQs
It’s done on a treadmill for control and accuracy; we translate results to your outdoor paces. We have a Cosmed treadmill that mimics outside running surface conditions.
Your usual run kit and shoes, a water bottle, and (if you use one) your watch/HR strap so we can load your zones (we can provide you with a HR strap for the test).
Skip hard sessions the day before, arrive hydrated, have a light meal 3 hours before your test and avoid caffeine 3 hours prior to testing and warm up as directed.
Your VO₂max, ventilatory thresholds (VT1/VT2), precise HR/pace zones for easy, tempo, and intervals, lung capacity and utilisation, fat burning efficiency, recovery capacity and health vs biological age. An example of this is shown at the bottom of the web page.
Yes – by setting exact training paces and showing whether to focus on raising VO₂max or pushing threshold, it directly supports PRs from 5K to marathon.
Yes, it’s supervised and step-by-step; you stop when you reach your max sustainable effort.
It identifies your Zone 2 and the intensity where you burn the most fat (FatMax), helping plan long runs and race fueling.
Every 8–12 weeks or at the start of a new block to track progress and retune your zones as fitness improves.
