VO2 Max and Lactate Testing
VO2 Max Testing
VOâ‚‚ max measures the maximum oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. It provides valuable insight into your potential, tracks how your body responds to training, and is one of the strongest predictors of longevity and overall health. Plus, it helps you see how you compare to established performance norms.
​
Lactate Testing
Lactate testing helps determine how your body responds to different intensities of exercise. It identifies your training zones, tracks progress, and guides smarter programming for both performance and long-term health.​​

​
Hi, my name is Lucas Clayton, and I’ve been a physical therapist here in Omaha for the past three years. I’m also a part-time coach at Big O Fitness, where my journey began back in 2018 when I first joined as a member while in physical therapy school. Now, I’m excited to give back by bringing advanced fitness testing to the community.
My endurance story started in 2022 when “Zone 2” training was becoming popular, and I began blending it into my CrossFit workouts. That curiosity led me deeper into the science of running, where my academic background allowed me to dive into the research. By 2024, I discovered Hyrox, a competition that fits my strengths perfectly. Since then, I’ve been training specifically for it, using lactate and VOâ‚‚ max testing every three months to measure progress, adjust training blocks, and ensure my preparation is as effective as possible.
I’m excited to partner with Go Far Performance to bring these same testing methods to athletes at Big O. Whether your goal is to improve performance, track progress, or get a clearer picture of your fitness, these tests give you actionable insights to train smarter and reach your goals faster.
