How Can the Science Help You Train and Race Better? Part 1
About this episode
Recently, Travis Macy underwent a battery of tests at eNRG Performance in Boulder, Colorado. We were intrigued to see what these tests were, why he decided to undergo them, and how he can use this information to change his diet and training to be an efficient endurance runner. Dina Griffin, MS, RDN, CSSD, METS II & Leadville 100 finisher, joins the conversation to help us understand.
Here are the tests that they did:
- Metabolic Efficiency (ME) testing
- Lactate Threshold (LT) testing
- Sweat Sodium Concentration Testing
- VO2max Testing
In this podcast, we dive into the ME testing. We will cover the other tests in upcoming podcast episodes.
