Get An Inside View Into Your Physiology and Take The Guesswork Out of Training - Without Going To A Lab.
Know where your fitness stands
Whats the best way for YOU to improve your performance? What areas should you focus on to reach you goal? Discover exactly how YOUR body performs and stop guessing at what training you should do. Train with confidence and purpose. INSCYD metabolic profiling will tell YOU exactly what YOU should be focusing on. Your performance is not random.
How you make power on the bike or run a pace can be broken down into a few components - Aerobic capacity (V02max), Glycolytic capacity (VLaMax) and efficiencies, aerodynamics on the bike and economy for the run.
Vo2Max
Vo2Max is the single most important variable in endurance sport. See where you stand and how your Vo2 interacts with racing and training. See how high volume and or high intensity impact improvements and choose the training that works best for you.
Fat/Carb Usage
Understand the make up of fat and carb usage for different intensities. Know what intensities to work to improve fat oxidation. Tailor race and training nutrition to how much carbohydrate you need.
VLaMax
VLaMax or anaerobic capacity is energy from the lactate system. High VLaMax is desirable for short high power efforts but less so for long efforts. Target your VLaMax based on goal races and reach this by training and nutrition adjustments.
Lactate Accumulation/recovery
Train your lactate “Shuttling” ability. Know how quickly lactate accumulates at different intensities and what intensities you clear it fastest. Use it in training or racing to optimally recover from lactate accumulating efforts.
Anaerobic Threshold
Anaerobic threshold as defined by science is the maximum intensity at which lactate combustion matches production. Threshold is made up of a combination of Vo2Max and VLaMax. How these combine will show you the relative strength of each and help you decide which to focus on to increase threshold.
Individual Training Zones
Get completely individualized training zones based on your physiology not some generic percentage of threshold or maximum HR. You’ll know where you need to train to target specific zones, from recovery to Vo2 Intervals.

Pricing
“The more we can understand how an athlete does what they are capable of doing the better we can focus what they need to do to get better and this is why after months of assessing and testing with INSCYD I am happy to partner with them to ensure I am doing my utmost to get the best out of the athletes I work with.”
