Lactate testing in Dublin

[gavin]

So I am thinking of getting a lactate test done and was curious to know of peoples past experiences with providers in Dublin? Any recommendation/places to avoid? 

Thanks,
Gav

www.lactateireland.ie/ supported our duathlon series, so contact owner Lynn Hayden and you might get a discount if you mention the club. I got it done a few years ago through TCD, there are always PhD students looking for guinea pigs. It was good to do but I didn't really get full analysis/results from the PhD candidate. So might be best to get it professionally done.

Hi Gav,

I was also interested in this.

I was going to contact Emmett @ www.perfectpacing.com

He did a talk with the club last year and was very interesting and knowledgeable.

Keep me in the loop if you get talking to anyone and I'll do the same

I am getting mine done this week in Trinity with Bernard Dunne. 60 euro for the whole thing and 45 for students! Heard good feedback from people and much better value then in ucd for same service but €120! Limited timeslots though - only 2 a day at 8.30 and 9am

60eu sounds like good value all right, working near trinity so would be handy.


Will check out the other two websites as well guys, thanks!

I had mine today Gavin. He kept me for 3.5 hours!! Maybe I asked too many questions... He was very thorough though - lactate test/VO2 and all that, followed by blood testing, lung capacity, body fat etc. Incredible value and a very well respected and knowledgeable physiologist!

+1 on Bernard Donne. I had two tests done with him in 2015 and he is excellent.

Agree re Bernard. Vast experience - a legend in the sport science/ exercise physiology world
