Lactate Profiling

Lactate profiling allows us to tailor your training to your specific physiological needs.

Measuring blood lactate concentration gives you precision and clarity when analysing your physiological response to training, as well as confidence when determining training priorities throughout the season.

We offer three different lactate profiling services:

Option 1 - Step Test
This standardised single-session test involves increasing intensity while taking lactate samples at regular intervals. The result provides your baseline lactate profile, RÁS-specific 6-zone training model, and key training priorities.

Cost: £100 (includes test, report, and feedback).

Option 2 - Step Test & Durability Test
Conducted over two sessions, this includes the Step Test plus a personalised Durability Test (1-2 weeks later). The Durability Test clarifies Step Test results and adds crucial data to refine training based on your specific goals. The protocol is tailored to your goals and race demands: e.g., 180 mins at LT1 for long-course triathletes or 60 mins at LT2 for short-course athletes.

Cost: £180 (includes both tests, report, and feedback).

Option 3 - Durability Test Only
If you already have a lactate profile from our Step Test or another provider, we still offer a standalone Durability Test that can be conducted in one session. The Durability Test clarifies Step Test results and adds crucial data to refine training based on your specific goals. The protocol is tailored to your goals and race demands: e.g., 180 mins at LT1 for long-course triathletes or 60 mins at LT2 for short-course athletes.

Cost: £100 (includes test, report, and feedback).
