Performance Stream

This stream is aimed at the ‘serious amateur’; someone who in all probability has a full time job but has a dedicated training attitude and high expectations with regards to personal performance. You are probably competitive in nature and may well have experience at taking part in organized events, or at least aspirations to do so.

Suggested Plan

(Please note all Plans can be individually tailored to your specific circumstances or requests)

Initial full two hour combined assessment:

This establishes all of your important base line data and helps identify your genetic leanings, your relative strengths and weaknesses and the effectiveness (or otherwise) of your current training and nutritional regime. It allows time to discuss any specific events you have planed and a general overview of your calendar. A comprehensive set of reports will be sent to you with all your figures and suggestions. (£200.00)

12 Week Program:

Based on your assessment data, a realistic assessment of the time and resources you have available and your principle goals, a 12-week exercise program will be written for you. This will comprise specific descriptions and instructions for every workout to be performed over the 12 weeks. It will incrementally progress the nature of the sessions to continually improve your overall level of fitness. It will be sent to you as an interactive spreadsheet enabling you to log time, calories, RPE, watts, hours of sleep etc. (£100.00)

Steady State Fuel Analysis:

A 75-minute assessment designed to give a detailed profile of energy requirements at ‘race pace’. This is a steady state test utilising gas exchange analysis equipment and typically lasting 30-40 minutes. It will measure your exact calorific burn rate in Kcals/min and gives a breakdown between fats and carbohydrates. Ideal for working out fuelling requirements, especially over longer periods for both training and racing. (£150.00)

6 Week Review Consultation:

This is a 60-minute consultation designed to assess your progress so far. Your feedback will be taken into account and based upon it any necessary amendments will be made to the remaining six weeks of your training plan. Any nutritional/supplement regime will also be reviewed at this time and also amended if and as necessary. (£60.00)

Exercise Assessment Retest:

The same ramped protocol used for the exercise section in your initial assessment is used again for your retest 12 weeks later, to provide an accurate comparative data framework. In light of the findings, future training priorities will be agreed. Assessment will be made relative to the specific aims and goals expressed at the time of the initial assessment and any necessary revisions suggested. (£135.00)
