Understand what the test actually means

We look at the test as a whole, not just your VO₂max. See your thresholds, training zones, the factors most likely limiting performance and what deserves attention next.

Know your thresholds

Aerobic and anaerobic thresholds in heart rate, power or speed.

See what may be limiting performance

Interpret the available physiological signals together rather than relying on one number.

Training zones you can use

Leave with clear training zones and practical priorities for the next block of training.
