No athlete wants to be left guessing when it comes to their fitness, progress, and preparedness to race. That’s why Insight Endurance is excited to partner with INSCYD to offer the best in science-backed solutions to help athletes train their best and perform their best. 

Whether you’re a marathoner trying to figure your fueling needs and strategy, or a bike racer trying to optimize your sprint for the end of a criterium or road race, you can optimize your chances for success with a training plan that leverages the in-depth analysis of an INSCYD metabolic report. 

What is INSCYD? What does it do? INSCYD is a company that uses performance data from specified test protocols to understand how an athlete creates energy. Using either lactate data and power or pace for runners, cyclists, or swimmers, or power data alone for cyclists, INSCYD’s algorithms generate a breakdown of energy utilization to give an athlete a detailed look at the relative strength of their aerobic vs. anaerobic systems. This is turn can help indicate what relative fat vs. carbohydrate combustion looks like at various intensities, help optimize training zones, and give the coach and athlete a much clearer picture of what physiological parameters to target in order to improve performance. 

INSCYD tests are part of some coaching packages and training plans available from Insight Endurance, and are also available as a stand alone test analysis with an included consult to help set you up on the right path. 

Don’t keep guessing at your training needs and hoping for the best–get in touch and find out what’s powering your endurance engine.
