What a different event the Auckland marathon was t What a different event the Auckland marathon was this year - firstly it wasn't even in the year that it was, followed by over 2 months of extra training/post peak, and finally - I think now we know why they don't run it in January every year! Despite all this we had a couple of standouts - including 3 PBs - some of which were reluctant ones in the circumstances, haha! Well done to Nick, Ben - @pommykiwi01 and Nige - @vagabond_nigel (that nipple looks sore!!), and of course everyone else who took part. Legends!
This afternoon we were testing at the track. Thank This afternoon we were testing at the track. Thanks to some new technology updates, we can now accurately and reliably do our muscle oxygenation limitation testing on both the treadmill and at the track/Road - so we can come to you! It's the first step to finding the best place to target your training, and to finding your next pb!
Finding your next performance gains could be as si Finding your next performance gains could be as simple as this! With Muscle Oxygenation, and running on a treadmill we can work out your physiological limiting system, and where we can get the biggest improvement for you! The ultimate in personalised training.
Could you look any more comfortable and composed a Could you look any more comfortable and composed after 32kms, while on your way to a new PB by over 15 minutes! Carl was taking full advantage of the peace of mind the #moxymonitor field testing gave us that he could run the full marathon at this pace! #running #marathon #aucklandmarathon
We've had a fail!! We very recently discovered t We've had a fail!! We very recently discovered that our contact form has been down, so my apologies for the messages that we have missed. It is now rectified, so please get in touch by following the 'contact us' link on our website.
What do you do when your marathon (Wellington) is What do you do when your marathon (Wellington) is cancelled a week out? Run a marathon on your own and get that sub 3 you've been chasing! Awesome effort by Tadhg, especially considering that you were all on your own the whole 42.2kms!
Just because we can’t leave NZ, doesn’t mean t Just because we can’t leave NZ, doesn’t mean that we can’t run some truly amazing upcoming events here! What's more, we encourage you to run your event for one of the many charities available. We'll even donate $50 to your chosen charity when you start your training with us (minimum 3 month plan).

What a weekend at Taupo for the #nzser guys... Se What a weekend at Taupo for the #nzser guys... Second place in the 10k for @benbibby and a new PB (despite some cramping issues) in the half for @garrettsby... Well done Ben and Carl!
COVID-19 has changed life a lot, but we are pretty COVID-19 has changed life a lot, but we are pretty lucky to have it so normal here in NZ. Even so, many people have been re-evaluating and some want to keep running, but dial back the amount of time and energy they put into it. That's why I've decided to create a new training package, for those that want to 'get through' an event but not make it their whole life - like @rachel_smalley told us "you took me from a plodder to some top finishes and a 3:34 marathon PB and a 1:39 half marathon PB, but this year life is a little busy, and I just want to 'get around' some events."

I don't think we need to ask @garrettsby if he gav I don't think we need to ask @garrettsby if he gave it everything during his testing session! As part of his prep for the Taupo half marathon he had some moxy muscle oxygenation testing (with a 3rd moxy to monitor any form changes at a physiological level) to make sure we're on track with the pacing in his race plan, and combined it with an advanced, multiple pace biomechanical analysis to check his gait for technique and injury risk assessment. Looking good mate!
It feels good to get back to some testing! Awesome It feels good to get back to some testing! Awesome work by Ben today, and we're lucky that we have events to look forward to, most of the world is only seeing cancellations at the moment! Bring it on!
Covid-19 and the event cancellations it has caused Covid-19 and the event cancellations it has caused are heartbreaking. However, with adversity, comes opportunity - this opens up time to focus on different goals and our physiological limitations, so when we hit 2021s events, we'll be smashing PBs! Make your downtime your uptime, and train your way through. www.cesports.co.nz/packages
The aim of the 5-1-5 test is not for you to finish The aim of the 5-1-5 test is not for you to finish the last 5 minute stage, but rather for you to dig deep (like Carl is here!), give it your all, and reach your limit, in order for us to find out what's holding you back. We then focus your training based around the information this crucial test provides, so you can achieve even better outcomes from your training.
When your runner who's coming off an injury says h When your runner who's coming off an injury says he's going to take the 323km, multi day ultra easy and then gets 3rd place in today's (day 3!) stage! Well done Tadhg! 😂😂🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
The '5-1-5' Muscle Oxygenation testing is the corn The '5-1-5' Muscle Oxygenation testing is the cornerstone of our training methodology. With it, your training zones and predicted event finishing times can be accurately determined, but most importantly, it shows your physiologically limiting system. And why is this important? Because it guides us on where to focus your training to get the biggest improvements. Your time is too important for inefficient, wasted workouts and junk miles.
It's always great to receive feedback, especially It's always great to receive feedback, especially when it's from someone who is working so hard, and seeing really well deserved results! Go @risky_dazza!
What a month May was - we've had @domharveynz with What a month May was - we've had @domharveynz with a new half PB of 1:21, Tadhg Charleton got a new PB on his mini peak on a hilly/rolling course (that may have involved horses??), finishing in 3:08 and 4th overall! Then we had @pommykiwi01 finishing Rotorua Marathon in 3:18 - taking 24 minutes off of his PB in his 8th marathon, and in Hawkes bay - @benbibby got a sub 3 PB - 2:58, and another runner got a new PB when we were planning for a more cruisey run!
🎶I can't get no...🎵Du Du Du 🎵desaturation 🎶I can't get no...🎵Du Du Du 🎵desaturation🎵Du Du Du! Did you know up to 1 in 10 runners shows a lack of muscle oxygenation desaturation? While not bad in itself, if unrecognized then it means your training will be wrong for you. With our help, 100% of runners who have shown this have gone on to get a new PB!
