Blood lactate testing is used to identify current training status and to develop accurate heart rate-based training zones. Multiple testing sessions throughout the season will provide the best indication of changes in fitness and metabolic efficiency. The second session is tentatively scheduled for December 27th, weather permitting.

Participants will need to bring their own heart rate monitor. We will meet at Fort Boise, and then the group will run out as a warm-up to the hill. From there we will send people out at specified intervals and at the top Corey will take lactate samples. Your test results and training zones will be sent to you via email the following Monday.

If you are going to do the testing:

#1) Mail your check today with the Physio Testing Reservation Form to Physio (Physio Performance Lab, LLC, 1414 W. Grove Street, Boise, ID, 83702) -OR- if paying by credit card call or email Corey at corey@physiopl.com, phone 303-229-7865.
