DO YOU KNOW HOW TO RUN? Become an Informationally-Based Athlete
RUNNING FORM ANALYSIS
Most runners know (or want to know) how far they’ve run and how fast they’ve run. But do you know how to run? This is not a trick question. Understanding how to run, that is, the technique of running, as well as having a kinesthetic awareness (being aware of your body in motion) is equally important to knowing how far and how fast you run.

HEART RATE MONITOR TESTING
You may know your pace, your distance and the total time that you ran. But do you know the effort that you expended for a training run or race? Running with a heart rate monitor will enable you to know how hard you’re running and if you’re getting fit or burning-out.
The 60-minute session includes: • 10-minute Office Consultation
• 50-minute Sub-Maximum Heart Rate Test on our state-of-the-art Woodway Treadmill • Prescribed Training Intensities sent one week after the session
(Note: Heart Rate Monitor is not included in the service, but we carry Polar RS200 & RS200sd Heart Rate Monitors.)

VO2 MAX & LACTATE THRESHOLD TESTING
VO2 Max is defined as the maximum volume of oxygen your body can process to the working muscles. Lactate threshold is defined as the point at which your aerobic capacity meets your anaerobic threshold, when you can no longer deliver enough oxygen to the working muscles. It is at this point that your body goes into oxygen debt and this debt needs to be paid back. Knowing your VO2 Max and LT numbers will enable you to train properly so that your body can deliver more oxygen to the working muscles and thus push your LT higher. when that occurs, two things happen: You'll go faster and with less effort!
The 75-minute session includes:
• 10-minute Office Consultation
• 50-minute combined VO2Max/Lactate Threshold Test on our state-of-the-art Woodway Treadmill
• 15-minute Office Consultation to discuss results after the test
