Why not make your training plan more personalised?
- Add an initial Lab Test to establish baseline fitness, set accurate training zones and measure relative strengths and weakness.
- A follow-up lab test can be added if you would like to check on your progress. It also helps to gather data that might not only inform your final few weeks of training but also aid peformance on the big day
Adding a lab test will help ensure your plan is tailored exactly to your unique physiological strengths and weakness.
What will my lab test involve?
|
During your lab test your PBscience coach will run you through a lactate threshold test and a ramp test. The results allow a complete description of the aspects of your individual physiology that combine to form your endurance capabilities. The tests last no longer than one hour combined.
Following the tests you will have the opportunity to discuss any questions you have, your aims for the Etape (Do you just want to finish? Do you have a specific time goal? Or do you want to beat all of your mates?!) and the availability you have to train. All told the testing and discussions tend to last around two hours.
In the days following your test, your coach will send a full write-up of your results; explaining what they actually mean, providing you with a set of bespoke training zones based on your physiology, and suggesting some targets for improvement to guide you towards your main goal for the Etape.

2011 Etape feedback
“I found the Member Plan excellent. It provided me with a structured training regime whereby I felt that every session served a purpose and ensured that I peaked at the correct time to achieve my ultimate goal of taking part in the 2011 Etape du Tour. The ongoing dialogue and feedback that I had with Dan ensured that future training schedules could be constantly reviewed, updated and tailored to suit my individual requirements.” - Andy
