Lactate Test
A lactate test, also known as lactate profiling or lactate threshold profiling, is deemed to be the most consistent physiological assessment for predicting endurance performance. A lactate blood test provides an accurate insight into your current physiology and can therefore define your specific training zones to guide your training and improve your performance.

It’s a submaximal test, which means you’ll work up to your threshold point, just before you reach your maximum effort. So whilst you’re not in for a maximum effort, you will be working relatively hard. After an initial chat, a prick of blood will be taken from the ear and you’ll be asked to wear a heart rate monitor (chest strap) before you move on to the treadmill.
