Open day photos of doing the VO2 max demo with Josh. I almost look like I know what I’m doing! 😅🤫
It was really cool to show people how the test was done from start to finish. To see that no, we don’t let people fall off a treadmill and that the speed is very personal and tailored to the person running.
I repeat. No one is falling off a treadmill.
The results will show Vo2 max scores, heart rate, training zones, how quickly the participant is breathing and how much air is coming in.
I’ll also do a gait analysis video whilst they are running to see if there’s any technical improvements that can be done.
All in all takes 10min for a warm up and between 8-15min for the test.
The mask seems a little scary, it’s honestly not. Personally I found I could breathe totally normal in it and had zero restrictions, it did get a little hot in there.
If you are a slow runner we start super slow or even walk, if you’re quick we adapt accordingly. As long as you’re fit and healthy and can run for about 20min you’re good to go.
Bosh 👊🏼
It’s pretty fun, and I love looking at the data with the athlete after to see what they do.
If you fancy having a go and want to improve your running, drop me a message or book a vo2 max test on the website www.bodyhealthgatwick.co.uk.
You’ll need to be fasted 3 hours prior (water before is fine) and 24hours clear of heavy exercise so you can get the best results.
