Following the recent launch of the triathlon facility, the Surrey Human Performance Institute will be offering triathletes a chance to take part in discounted 30 minute testing sessions to gain a detailed insight into their training and discuss their training and nutritional programmes with sport science experts from the Surrey Human Performance Institute.

The tests on offer include a cycling lactate test (£30), a running lactate test (£30) and a body composition test (£15), all of which are available at discounted rates.

Testing will be available at the Triathlon Show on Friday 28th February from 12:30-6pm and on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd March from 9:30am-5pm. To book a 30 minute testing session at the Triathlon Show email shpi@surrey.ac.uk or call 01483 683769.

"Whilst these tests are designed for elite athletes they can also be applied to triathletes of any standard. Our services focus on four key performance assessments and the information that we develop will allow those that take part to adjust their training programmes, in order to be more competitive in the future and ultimately enjoy training and competing more.”
