Dick Wilks

VO2 max Assessments

Dick has always regarded fitness as an important part of his lifestyle. His fitness career began as a competitive tennis player, but he soon discovered that long distance running provided a much higher level of fitness than others sports he had participated in. As a result, he has completed 8 marathons, 10 half marathons, and numerous other long and short distance races. In 2000, Dick qualified for and ran in the prestigious Boston Marathon. Currently, Dick instructs the half marathon clinic at the Burlington Running Room.

Dick coaches all levels of runners and bases his training programs on the use of a Maximum VO2 Assessment. This provides his clients with accurate measurement of their peak VO2, anaerobic threshold, fitness level, and caloric burn rates. By using this assessment in conjunction with a heart rate monitor, an athlete can train smarter, not harder!

Dick will be performing VO2 max Assessments at Active Sport & Health Centre and is available for appointments on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00am to 3:00pm, and Monday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00pm.
