RUNNING PHYSIOLOGY & COACHING NEWCASTLE
KNOW YOUR ENGINE.
TRAIN YOUR NUMBERS.
Stop guessing your training intensity. Understand your physiology and train with zones built around you.
VO₂, lactate and threshold testing combined with individualised running coaching to identify your training zones, guide your training and help you perform at your best.
UNDERSTAND YOUR PHYSIOLOGY
MORE THAN A VO₂ MAX NUMBER.
VO₂ max is only one part of the picture.
Understanding where your aerobic and higher-intensity thresholds occur can be even more useful for guiding how you train.
Through physiology testing we identify the key numbers that help define your training — including VO₂ max, LT1/VT1, LT2/VT2 and your individual heart-rate and pace zones.
YOUR THRESHOLDS
KNOW WHERE EASY ENDS.
KNOW WHERE HARD BEGINS.
Your thresholds are some of the most useful numbers we can identify for endurance training.
LT1 / VT1 helps define the transition from easier aerobic running into more moderate work — giving you a much better guide for easy runs, long runs and aerobic development.
LT2 / VT2 identifies the higher-intensity threshold where sustainable running begins to become much harder — helping guide threshold sessions, race preparation and higher-intensity training.
Knowing these points allows us to build training zones around your physiology rather than generic percentages or formulas.
FROM TESTING TO TRAINING
YOUR NUMBERS ARE ONLY USEFUL
IF THEY CHANGE HOW YOU TRAIN.
Once we know your physiology, we can turn the results into training that is specific to you.
Your heart-rate and pace zones help guide the intensity of easy runs, long runs, threshold sessions and higher-intensity work — so each session has a clear purpose.
For runners wanting more support, physiology testing can also form the foundation of individualised run coaching, with your training adjusted around your goals, event demands and progress.
INDIVIDUALISED RUN COACHING
TESTING GIVES US THE NUMBERS.
COACHING PUTS THEM TO WORK.
A great training plan is more than a collection of sessions.
Your coaching is built around your physiology, current fitness, training history, available time and the demands of the event you're preparing for.
As you adapt, your training adapts with you — balancing easy running, long runs, threshold work and higher-intensity sessions to help you improve without simply training harder.
YOUR PHYSIOLOGIST & COACH
MEET LUCAS McBEATH
Lucas combines physiology testing with endurance coaching to help runners understand how their body responds to training — and, importantly, how to use that information to improve.
Rather than relying on generic training zones or one-size-fits-all programs, Lucas uses your physiology, training history, goals and event demands to guide a more individualised approach.
Whether you're preparing for your first event, chasing a PB or looking to take your endurance performance to the next level, the goal is simple:
TRAIN WITH PURPOSE.
PHYSIOLOGY TESTING • ENDURANCE COACHING • RUN • RIDE • TRIATHLON
