Tiarna came in for testing a few months ago. She has since completed in the mixed doubles Hyrox world championships achieving a new Pb. Check out her thoughts on her testing with us:

I had my vo2max and lactate threshold tested for the first time at elite performance. Stephen was very professional and talked me through the whole process. After completing the test, Stephen had my results to me the next day, explaining all of the data and where I should focus my training. From this my running output has improved significantly which has allowed me to take my training and competition performance to higher levels.

came to us to see if he could complete a marathon at short notice. We tested him and worked out come pacing strategies to help with his event. Check out his thoughts on his time with us:

“I booked in for a VO2 max and lactate threshold test just to see where I was at and whether it would even be physically possible for me to complete a marathon with only about four and a half weeks of training. Stephen ran the tests and gave me the confidence that not only could I do it, but that I’d be able to handle it well. That insight gave me the push I needed — I went on to run the marathon and broke the four-hour mark, which was my goal based on the testing data. It was brilliant to get that kind of clarity and reassurance, and I’ll definitely be back in for testing ahead of my next challenge.”

Testimonial from on his recent testing with us here

I recently reached out to Stephen for lactate profile and vo2 max testing. I wanted to take the guess work out of my training and improve my performance for upcoming hyrox and running events. I was given a detailed report on where my current levels are at and guidelines on training in specific zones and what areas need work. I’m looking forward already for the reassessment.

Ziggy came to us a few months ago for testing. Check out his thoughts on the process:

I’ve been training for HYROX competitions for the past year and a half, but recently hit a plateau in my running performance. To gain a better understanding of where I could improve, I reached out to Stephen at Elite Performance for VO2 max and lactate threshold testing.
Stephen clearly explained the testing process and made sure I understood the purpose behind each step. After the session, he provided a detailed and timely breakdown of my results along with a tailored action plan.
Since implementing his recommendations, I’ve already achieved a new personal best in my 10K. I’m continuing to follow his guidance alongside my coaches and am looking forward to seeing further progress when I check in again later this year.
Highly recommended for anyone serious about taking their running to the next level.

Check out thoughts on his testing and support from us here

It was great to return to Elite Performance NI to have my Vo2 max and lactate testing done for the second time. The data and breakdown I received from Stephen gave me clear direction on how I approached my training block leading into Hyrox World championships. My running performance has improved massively from the data and knowledge from Stephen. It allows me to have a more specific approach to my training with continued improvement through each block.

Conditioning or training to improve your aerobic capacity gets a bad rap in fitness circles. Maybe it’s because the actual programming to improve it is not well understood.

Over the years I have seen even the most experienced practitioners excel at improving strength. They know the reps, loads, % of their 1RM to get their athletes stronger. But when it comes to conditioning they add in some short intervals at the end of training or hope their small sided games or training volume will do the trick.

As you can see from the post there are many benefits that improved conditioning will bring to both your performance and overall health.

As emphasised by work, profiling the type of athlete and individual you are allows for a more clearly defined training plan to maximise your performance.

Comment below with some of your favourite conditioning methods.

Conor came to us to assess his current training status before embarking on a training plan for the Manchester marathon. We performed a lactate threshold and VO2 max test and gave him his training zones and physiological profile. This allowed us to target specific areas for his training plan.

DM us for more info.

Jane came to us wanting to better understand her current fitness levels. We performed a lactate threshold and VO2 max test using our VO2 Master. This allowed us to understand a range of physiological set points and then focus on training recommendations to work on.

If interested in any of these tests DM us.

Ruairi came to us to understand his current fitness levels for future running and Hyrox events. We provided him with a full physiological breakdown of his current levels of fitness based on our lactate threshold and VO2 max tests. This allowed us to target specific training recommendations to improve his performance.

DM for more details or if interested in taking your training to a new level.

Conor came to us following an injury. He was interested in his current body composition levels post-rehab. Following a resting metabolic rate test using our VO2 Master analyzer and skinfold assessment, we were able to give a full overview of his current status and give recommendations to suit his upcoming training and prepare him for the season ahead.

DM if you need any assessments for your own performance.
