Do I Need Lactate and VO2 Max Testing?

by Rick Canning | Mar 22, 2023 | Exercise Physiology, Opinion, Running

Lactate and VO2max testing are two popular methods used to assess the fitness and performance of runners. These tests provide valuable information that can help athletes understand their physiological capabilities and identify areas for improvement. Lactate testing measures the point at which lactate begins to accumulate in the muscles during exercise, known as the lactate threshold. VO2max testing, on the other hand, measures the maximum amount of oxygen that an athlete can consume during exercise.

Endurance Coach – Is it worth it?

by Helena | Feb 6, 2023 | Exercise Physiology, Running, Strength Training

My parents tell me that I could ski before I could walk and that trying to keep up with my big brother in all his activities was how I got into the world of sport. Being involved in sport for as long as I can remember also means a history of spending a lot of time...

What is Anaerobic Threshold? (+sample workouts!)

by Carla Robbins | Jan 3, 2023 | Exercise Physiology, Running, Strength Training

Exercise physiologists have long used thresholds as a way to measure transitions through exercise intensities, to quantify changes in fitness over time, and to evaluate metabolism in humans.

Often people refer to their “threshold” in the running world. But, as exercise physiologists, we know that there are actually at least two thresholds, the aerobic threshold and the anaerobic threshold, both with different purposes, physiologies, and work loads.

What is Aerobic Threshold? (+ sample workouts!)

by Carla Robbins | Jun 22, 2022 | Exercise Physiology, Running

Most runners talk about their “threshold,” but did you know there are actually two—the aerobic threshold and the anaerobic threshold—each with distinct roles in performance? While the anaerobic threshold gets most of the attention, the aerobic threshold is just as critical for endurance, dictating how efficiently your body burns fuel and sustains effort over long distances.

Ever been told your knee or hip pain could be a result of your feet?

by Carla Robbins | Jun 16, 2022 | Injury Prevention & Recovery, Running, Strength Training

Ever been told your knee or hip pain could be a result of your feet? Ever heard from a physiotherapist or a personal trainer that your “local pain” could be “coming from elsewhere”? Common rhetoric includes that your shoulder might be hurting because of your...
