Ever wondered what is holding you back from a professional contract? Dave and Jamie decided that Liam should be subjected to a number of tests to find out why the average rider is being held back. Is there just one thing stopping you, or is it something major that just can’t be fixed?
This test will set out Liam’s Lactate Threshold, his Individual Anaerobic Threshold and finally his V02 Max.The Lactate threshold is described as the first significant rise of blood lactate above the recorded baseline levels. It is one of the key determinants for any long-distance athlete and becomes more important as the distance that you ride/compete over increases.
The final test focused on leg strength and was designed not only to measure how strong those chiselled guns are but more importantly to highlight any imbalances that might lead to injury.Despite choosing a life of cookies and pastries, Liam is currently sat at a BMI of 21.5 and a body fat of 10.43%.
Liam’s power output at VO2 Peak - 350 watts for 3 minutes - is the power output at which he elicited his peak oxygen uptake and reached terminal fatigue. This gives him a peak aerobic power to weight score of 5.47 watts per kg.With a body weight of 64kg, this means that Liam isn’t half bad in terms of the general population, but when compared to the professionals, his figures could do with some work.
So at the point where Liam really starts to suffer, a Tour de France rider will be capable of putting out 125 watts more. They’ll also be able to hold that for longer and repeat the effort without needing to have a lie-down and a reviving cup of tea.Nothing, however, puts a figure on the capabilities of world-class endurance athletes like V02 Max. Liam’s score of 63.7 ml/kg/min puts him within the excellent category for his age and gender.
That means it is a lot of long and steady rides for Liam, not just over the winter, but throughout the year.
