Have you ever thought about how much you time and money you spend on your training and racing equipment, correct food, travel….? Are you sure you are heading in the right direction? Think about it! Are your priorities right? Do you actually know your power output, your lactate threshold, your max. heart rate, your ideal heart rates for different types of training? Your most economical zone for time trialling or pursuiting? Or are you guessing?

This information should be PRIORITY NO. 1. There is no point spending money on the best equipment, food, travel …. if your training is not based on your exact needs. If you are to achieve your best possible performance, your training and racing needs to be based on your personal numbers.

Now you have the chance to get it right!

Previously only available for elite athletes, or the rich and famous, this testing is now available for you at a very affordable price on the northern beaches. Experienced international cyclist and coach, Radek Valenta, has designed an affordable testing service that allows athletes to be tested on a regular basis throughout the year so that your individual training information (for example, optimal training heart rate zones, and power output) can be updated as your fitness improves. If you are to maximise your training and your race performances, you must have this information. Regular testing at appropriate times throughout the year can ensure that your training is based on the right information year round.

Think about it this way - for the cost of two massages or a pair of cycling knicks, you can keep yourself and your coach informed of exactly where you're standing and what you need to do.
