Hey OBRAsters,Nike is looking for test subjects. This is a treadmill RUNNING test in which you are asked to run ALL OUT for 3 minutes. No pacing. Sprint as hard as you can. Leave nothing on the table. Then run (slowly) some more after a brief rest. I did it. It is rough. But at least you're compensated for the torture. Must be Nike Men's size 10. They run a bit small so you may fit if you're normally a 9.5. More details below.=========================================
The Nike Explore Team - Sport Research Lab (NXT-SRL) is looking for male athletes, size M10 who are willing & enjoy pushing their bodies to the limit.This includes experienced runners, cyclists, and athletes participating in all-out fatigue exercises (i.e. cross fit or cross training). What we need:· Your best effort
· Commitment to 3 visits (Oct-Nov)
· Must have treadmill running experience
· Size men’s 10
What we’ll get:· Invaluable data on the physiological capacity of the athlete
What you’ll get:· The opportunity to participate in and be introduced to the innovative process of Nike athletic footwear
· A complete analysis of your metabolic capacity which will communicate data to optimize pacing and race tactics. It will also provide discrete training zones to allow you to maximize training expectations.
· Nike Gift Card compensation for athlete’s time and effort
This project is open to Nike and non-Nike athletes, 18 years or older. All testing is done in the NXT-SRL, Mia Hamm building. If interested, please email NSRL.testing@nike.com.
