Bring your bike to my studio, and we will conduct a submaximal ramp test to determine your LT1 and LT2 numbers. This way, you can engage in personalized cycling coaching with the assurance that your training zones are accurate. Additionally, I can help you develop effective training plans and provide insights into sports nutrition. Contact me via email or Instagram!
Lactate testing is one of the most effective ways to make your training truly personalised and precise. By measuring how your body produces and clears lactate at different intensities, we can accurately identify your key training zones, rather than relying on generic estimates. This means every session has a clear purpose: improving your endurance, raising your threshold, and targeting the exact intensities that will make you faster on the bike. It also allows us to track your progress over time, adjust your training as you adapt, and avoid wasted effort or overtraining. The result is smarter training, better performance, and confidence that every ride is moving you closer to your goals.
We can also carry out your lactate testing outdoors, so you’re assessed in the same environment you train and race in. Together we’ll choose a suitable location, whether that’s a steady climb, a long uninterrupted stretch of road, or a closed circuit/track — so you can ride continuously and produce reliable data. Testing in real-world conditions gives us highly practical insights into your pacing, effort, and power on the bike, making your training zones even more specific to your riding. It’s a simple, flexible way to get accurate results while staying in your natural training setting.

I also offer lactate testing for runners, using the same science-based approach to accurately determine your individual training zones. Whether you’re preparing for a 5K, half marathon, marathon or simply looking to improve your endurance and pace control, testing allows us to understand exactly how your body responds to different intensities. Sessions can be carried out on a track, treadmill, or a suitable uninterrupted stretch of road or trail, ensuring the results are specific to your running environment. This means smarter pacing, more effective sessions, and clear progress you can track over time , helping you run stronger and more efficiently.
