Nick has an extensive background working with elite athletes across a variety of sports, and currently specialises in performance testing for endurance athletes. Nick shares his expertise on blood lactate and VO2 max analysis for optimal athlete training prescription and output. We chat all about how blood analysis can give us an insight into areas of weakness and strength, allowing a more specific approach to training and recovery. Nick simplifies some complex topics such as lactate threshold, ventilatory threshold and fraction of expired oxygen (FE02).
