Derek McKinney Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 A big well done to Kelly who attained a monster score in the treadmill lab test!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the bike results (Blomsan) Stevie - Did you come to the uni today (thurs)? I was there until 10, but had to go to a class. I may still be able to organise a test session for this afternoon (after 3pm), if you can get in touch with me, either through the message board or by e-mail ([email protected]).

Derek McKinney Posted March 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Apologies to Stevie Blom for the confusion over times etc. Kelly - Wed 17th 9:30 Sean Gray - Wed 17th 9:30 and Wed 24th 9:30 Mark Logan (and possibly girlfriend) - Wed 17th 1:30 and Wed 24th 1:30 Martin - Wed 17th 1:30 and Wed 24th (time tbc) Scott D - Wed 24th 9:30 and Wed 31st 9:30 Darryl Gunson - The first date I have you down for is Fri 19th (time tbc). Since you're in the uni already, I can be more flexible with time slots for you. Stevie Blom - dates/times tbc Stu - dates/times tbc Note - These tests are not exhaustive, in terms of recovery, and anyone taking part will be fine for racing, the next day. I would advise you to come fairly 'fresh' (in terms of nutrition and rest) for the tests, to avoid any unnecessary fatigue. On the day you will just need to bring some 'sporty' clothes and a pair of trainers. No bikes are necessary. Meeting place is main entrance to Paisley Uni. I have maps/directions for all who need them. Finally, to be eligible, you cannot be insulin dependant, have heart probs or have your blood pressure controlled by medicines etc. If any of the above times are unsuitable, just let me know and I'll make other arrangements for you. If you'd like my phone no. to discuss any issues, send me an email at [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Blom Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 derek , I turned up at the main entrance for 3pm and waited till 315pm. i had just finished my training run so it was better off that i did not do the test in the end. I had my bike with me so no sporty shoes on me at the time. i will get back to you when i can hopefully soon to sort out another time? stevie b.

kelly van der toorn Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Just wanna say - although I biked fine in the afternoon after my lab test I was absolutely knackered in the evening and still a bit more tired than usual today - so I'd advise anyone who is planning to race the next day to either not expect too much from their racing or reschedule their test (sorry Dereck!!) Maybe I just tried too hard..... KvdT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McKinney Posted March 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Although tiredness can affect the outcome of the test, I wouldn't expect the test itself to be too detrimental to performance, the next day. Perhaps it was just the fact it was combined with cycling later? If anyone is training/racing soon after, I'd strongly recommend replenishing all those burned-off carbs and making sure you are fully hydrated. I'll be taking a test myself, tomorrow, and then doing the Bucklyvie 10 on saturday. You can be sure that for first couple of hours after the test I'll be destroying some pasta and noodles, washed down with dilute energy juice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McKinney Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Just wondering......would participants like their data kept quiet, or posted? At present, I can tell you VO2max, Anaerobic threshold as a % of VO2max and also the heart-rate, to which this corresponds. Basically, the higher your %VO2max, the faster you can TT. Also, if you are racing etc, let me know and I can arrange for your test day/time to suit, thus avoiding any possible fatigue effects.

Derek McKinney Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Hi Sean, Is a Friday any good, or would you rather keep them free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gray Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Fridays should be O.K, depending how busy my nightshift is the night before, are you sure there is running involved Cheers Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
