Sports medical lactate tests to determine one's own position
The optimal preparation of the participants is one of the main objectives of the Linz Danube Marathon Team. In addition to regular running training, it is also advisable to have professional performance tests to determine where you stand. In cooperation with two sports physicians, the Linz Marathon 2019/2020 will again offer professional lactate tests to determine personal, optimal training areas. In this way, the potential of one's own body can be better estimated and the competition day as well as the desired target time can be better planned. The first lactate test will take place with Dr. Alfred Fridrik on November 4, 2019, at the Stadion der Stadt Linz. Two and a half months later, on January 21, 2020, there will be another test with Dr. Ronald Ecker in the TipsArena Linz. The offer is valid for 20 people at a special price of € 80 per person. The first 10 people will start at 16:00, the second group at 17:30. Interested persons please contact Günther Weidlinger atguenther.weidlinger@liva.linz.at. It is requested to indicate with the registration also already the desired start time and a telephone number, for possible further inquiries.
