I’ve been to Speed Training Lab twice now to get VO2 max testing done with Richard. I’ll be running the Boston Marathon in 10 weeks, and in preparation for this special race, I always look to gain an edge on what it means to maximize my own potential. Thankfully, with Rich and the equipment they have at the lab, we were able to test and measure my total oxygen consumption and determine speed velocity at VO2 max. For data nerds such as myself, this is a really cool piece of the puzzle that I can’t find anywhere else. Smartwatches can estimate these sorts of metrics, but there is nowhere else we can gain a more accurate source of insight other than getting physically tested in a lab. After both of my tests, Rich was kind enough to break down specific training paces relative to my pace at VO2 max. I was very impressed with the data collection provided and hope to come back again sometime this summer to see where I’ve improved.

After advancing through the district qualifiers last week, Jakobi competed at the Toronto South Regional Finals today for both the 400 Meter Dash and Standing Long Jump. Jakobi shattered his personal bests in both events to secure a 2nd place overall in the 400 meter and 4th place overall in the standing long jump. With these results he advances to the City Finals for both events next week! Just getting to the City Finals is an amazing accomplishment, so we’re super proud of him no matter how he does next week. …. And we definitely need to thank you and your team for helping get him to the next level of athleticism.

Soccer Fitness was a great addition to my soccer practices and track workouts. The training helped me improve in my endurance and overall fitness. I’ve gone to xc Nationals in Vancouver, and xc OFSAA and it helped improved my time in track for the upcoming track season. After all these improvements I have been recognized by many schools in the United States. Thanks Soccer Fitness!
