VO2 Test Day at WTF - Do you know what a VO2 test is and how it can help to
improve your training and racing performance? 


Endurance Monster will be at the WTF on Sunday February 12thto perform a full
day of VO2 testing for CNY Tri members. 
VO2 is the single most critical factor that determines the benefit of aerobic
exercise intensity.  How hard you work will dictate how you will perform at a
given distance.  VO2max testing is a test to determine your maximal oxygen
consumption or how efficiently your body uses oxygen.  Another important finding
from the test is your maximal heart rate and aerobic threshold.  Knowing your
maximal heart rate and aerobic threshold allows you to set up accurate training
zones based on these values.  At aerobic threshold, the body is recruiting
almost all of the slow-twitch muscle fibers, but not yet recruiting any of the
fast twitch fibers. This is considered the fat burning zone. Most athletes,
without the benefit of physiological testing, overestimate this intensity.  By
completing a VO2 max test you will be able to train with a purpose and improve
performance. 
 
Appointments will be on a first scheduled basis, there are 11 slots for Sunday
the 12thstarting at 8am.  The cost will be $100 per test (discounted from our
