Much more than just a spin class, our classes have you training on your own bike, resulting in improved cycling efficiency and economy when you return to the roads come spring. And our new location allows us to offer a much broader selection of classes which now incorporate strength, power, endurance and flexibility.

Lactate Threshold Testing

Friday, December 9th

@Syracuse Bicycle

VO2 Max TestingOne of the most important parts of any structured training plan is to train at the correct intensity. Using a heart rate monitor or cycling power meter are both excellent methods to monitor intensity during workouts and races.

 

When using intensity monitoring devices, it is crucial to establish training zones based around your lactate threshold (LT), Sports Science research has shown that using lactate threshold to establish training zones is the most precise way to set up training zones.

 

Initial Exercise Assessment Test includes:
· VO2 Max. and Anaerobic Threshold data
· Results report. (see pdf on right)
· Heart Rate training zones
Cost: $120

 

Please email Doug to schedule your appointment.

USAT Level II Coach Doug Bush has Bachelors degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in Sports Nutrition from the University of Buffalo. He has been involved in endurance sports for 20 years as a mountain biker, cyclist, runner, and triathlete. Completed eight Ironman triathlons, including Kona, numerous marathons, and countless mountain bike, road bike, and other running races.
