VO2 Fitness Test
A VO2 Fitness Test is a great way to
focus your training and gain better results from your efforts.

Whether you want to start running to lose weight or to smash a new personal best everyone can benefit from customising and individually focusing their training with a VO2 Fitness Test with Advance Performance.
Whether you are taking up running for the first time or an experienced racer the effort and commitment to training is the same; everyone wants to hit goals and see results from all their efforts.
Your goal might be to lose weight and feel fitter, or to run a race the fastest you have ever done. Nonetheless, there is a need for a balance in your training between easy paced endurance runs - your longest run of the week - and speed threshold runs - efforts, intervals and shorter tempo/threshold runs.
There’s already lots of information out there, online and in magazines to help you, but at Advance Performance we can expand and develop this program so that it is individually customised; maximising and improving everyone’s chance of hitting his or her own personal goals.
