VO₂Max, Lactate Profile & Performance Optimisation

VO₂ Max, Lactate Profile & Performance Optimisation Consultation with Dr. Jack Eoin Rua O’Neill.

Unlock your peak athletic potential with our comprehensive 90-minute performance session led by Dr. Jack, an exercise physiologist PhD, an expert in optimising VO₂ max and leveraging energy systems for enhanced endurance, speed, efficiency, and sporting performance.

What’s Included:

•⁠ ⁠VO₂ Max Testing on Treadmill: A clinically precise, progressive treadmill test using laboratory-grade equipment to measure your aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory endurance in real time.

•⁠ ⁠⁠Lactate Threshold Analysis: A minimally invasive ear-prick lactate test to identify how your body accumulates lactate with increasing exercise intensity. This is crucial for understanding your optimal training zones.

•⁠ ⁠⁠Comprehensive Report & Personalised Strategy Session: Following the test, you’ll receive an in-depth, easy-to-understand report outlining your current performance markers. Dr. Jack will sit down with you to interpret your results and translate the data into clear, actionable training strategies tailored to your goals.

What You’ll Gain:

•⁠ ⁠Clarity on your current cardiovascular and metabolic fitness

•⁠ ⁠A deep understanding of how to train smarter, not harder

•⁠ ⁠Customised insights on energy zone training, how and when to target aerobic, anaerobic, and recovery zones to maximise performance and avoid burnout

Whether you’re training for a marathon, triathlon, solo or duo Hyrox, or simply want to push your personal fitness boundaries, this session offers science-backed insights and coaching to help you make every session count.

Raw Data Received:

•⁠ ⁠VO₂ max (ml/kg/min)

•⁠ ⁠⁠vVO₂ max (minimum velocity that elicited VO₂ max)

•⁠ ⁠Aerobic and anaerobic thresholds (the heart rates, paces, and velocities they occurred at) *confirmed using both your ventilatory and lactate thresholds

•⁠ ⁠⁠Running economy at each threshold and VO₂ max (your O₂ consumption in ml/kg/km)

•⁠ ⁠Estimated max effort marathon completion time (formula shown to be accurate to within +/-2 minutes in elite male and female athletes)

•⁠ ⁠⁠Unique customised sessions tailored to your test results (zone 2, tempo, threshold, several HIIT’s)

•⁠ ⁠⁠A sample 4 week program training 6 days per week using your unique customised sessions and providing you with target paces and heart rates for each session.

•⁠ ⁠⁠Caloric expenditure at each threshold with target hourly carbohydrate intakes to optimise training and race performance.

•⁠ ⁠⁠Tailored race pacing strategies for Hyrox, 5km, 10km, half and full marathon.
