Questions and answers
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does a lactate profile tell me?
A lactate profile is a step test where intensity increases gradually and a small blood sample is taken after each step. The curve shows where your thresholds are, and the full analysis turns them into training zones in power, pace and heart rate that you can train by.
Which disciplines can I test?
The lactate profile can be done in swimming (8 x 400 m step test), cycling or running (8 x 6 minute step tests). The price is per discipline. The max heart rate test is done on the bike or running, and the two-day performance assessment is on the bike.
Where are the tests held?
Tests are held at BASE Training Club in Holmestrand, Norway. You book the test and choose a time on the booking page, and you get the confirmation by email straight away.
How should I prepare for a test?
Come rested, with no hard sessions in the last 24 hours. Eat a normal meal 2–3 hours before, arrive well hydrated and avoid caffeine in the last 3 hours. Bring a heart rate strap and your own equipment for the discipline you are testing.
How often should I test?
For most athletes a new lactate profile 2–4 times a year is enough to follow the development and update the zones. In between, zones can be adjusted from training data, such as power or pace against heart rate and perceived effort.
What does testing cost?
A lactate profile costs NOK 1,500 per discipline, a max heart rate test NOK 800, and the two combined NOK 1,800. The two-day performance assessment on the bike costs NOK 3,000. Analysis and training zones are included.
