    Fuel Better, Race Better: Closing the Gap on Race-Day Nutrition

    As you may have heard, we have some new lab testing equipment that has expanded our capabilities to go much deeper into your physiology. In this episode, we discuss the new metrics we can assess including Fat vs Carbohydrate utilisation and how we can pair that with an InBody composition analysis to better estimate and predict your race-day nutrition requirements to optimise your endurance performance.

    Which Test Protocol is Right for You? (In the METS Lab)

    Recently we shared on Instagram some data from long time METS athlete Dimma and how we had him in the lab just to check in on his Zone 2. To do so we still measured his Oxygen consumption (VO2) and lactate, but we changed the protocol so he didn't have to go all the way to max. From your feedback and questions, we wanted to jump on and chat about the 3 main test protocols we can do in the lab and how they provide different levels and types of information to best inform your training and racing.

    The N=1 Theory (Taking an Individualised Approach)

    The N=1 Theory is really a fancy name for something we've always done, individualise everything and seek performance improvement for the athlete in front of us, essentially creating the research study of that single athlete's performance to support them racing faster, smashing PB's and fitting it all in around all of the other things going on in life. Because that's what really matters.

    We’re back on the podcast in 2023 (it’s been a while!) and we’ve got our hands on some interesting endurance focused tech we think you’d be interested in hearing about. 

    What else should we get our hands on to test or look into?

    What It’s Like Being Coached by a Sport Scientist (Part 2)

    Zach is a 70.3 triathlete who first walked in the METS Lab after giving Geelong 70.3 (2020) a go off little to no training. He did ok, 12 months later he destroyed that benchmark and 3 years on with Nick coaching him, he's been able to optimise his training to take his performance to a whole new level.
