Triathlon / Duathlon specific testing package
votwo have a real passion for triathlon. By coaching large numbers of triathletes we have developed a specific testing package to suit the requirements of the sport. The package has 2 main aims:1 - To determine training zones to allow you or your coach to accurately prescribe training intensity.
2 - To monitor performance levels and therefore track improvement over time and evaluate the effectiveness of a training strategy.
It also allows an experienced votwo sports scientist and coach to watch your biking and running performance from a technical perspective to identify areas for improvement.
Determination of training zones is accomplished by performing a maximal steady state bike test of either 10min or 30min duration (depending on your event; long or short course triathlon) followed by a rest and then a stepped running test measuring lactate threshold.
Monitoring of performance is achieved by comparing results from one test to the next. We generally recommend 3 tests during a year - one after the end of season break, one 3 months later to assess the impact of initial base training and a final pre season assessment to ensure all is progressing as planned into racing.
Included in the price of the assessment is full body composition analysis and a free recovery drink from For Goodness Shakes, making it great value.
To book your package please contact us stating your testing requirements and preferred dates.
