About Sean 

The who

​

Blake Performance Lab was set up by Sean, a coach with over 15 years experience in coaching endurance and power endurance sports.  

​

With personal experience with the use of lactate testing to optimise his own performances, Sean gained valuable insight into how to carry out the testing and how the testing could benefit long term performance from 2009 onward.  A BSc in Sport Biomedicine and Nutrition bolstered physiological understanding, and built a clear understanding of how best to maximise the use of data to optimise performances.  The use of lactate testing with those Sean coached, had begun

​

Sean spent time reviewing widely used lactate testing protocols, and continuously reviews own testing use with athlete performances to individualise processes that yield the greatest benefit to long term performance for each athlete.  This has resulted in a coach who can support athletes already in teams that are using training programs provided by other coaches to help refine their training, and he can also construct highly effective training programs for athletes he works with

​

So, who has been helped so far?
