If your goals races are 4-6 plus hours, this testing will provide the specific heart rate, power and\/or pace to further focus your workouts and maximize your training investment.<\/p>\n<p>An important predictor of your ability to finish strong in longer races is how well your body utilizes fat as a fuel source. During a race or even a long training session, it\u2019s impossible to ingest as many calories as you are burning.\u00a0 As a result, your body depends on breaking down fat to get more energy. If you find yourself bonking during an event and \/or having gastrointestinal distress during races, our performance metabolic efficiency assessment will give you the information you need to improve your fat utilization.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of this test, you\u2019ll precisely know:<br \/>\n1. Caloric expenditure at various heart rates and intensities<br \/>\n2. How to preserve carb stores in order to decrease the amount of fuel replenishment required<br \/>\n3. How to increase fat as fuel, so you can perform workloads faster, longer<br \/>\n4. Lactate levels for your various metabolic zones<\/p>\n<div style='height:20px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Metabolic Efficiency Test example<\/a><\/p>\n<div style='height:20px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3094\" src=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-1-495x362.jpg\" alt=\"met-efficiency-example-1\" width=\"400\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-1-300x135.jpg 300w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-1-705x319.jpg 705w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-1.jpg 800w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-1-450x203.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style='height:10px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3095\" src=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-2-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"met-efficiency-example-2\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" data-wp-imgselect=\"1\" srcset=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-2-300x201.jpg 300w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-2-705x472.jpg 705w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-2-450x301.jpg 450w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/met-efficiency-example-2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"av_tab_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" >    <div data-fake-id=\"#tab-id-2\" class=\"tab \"  itemprop=\"headline\" ><span class='tab_icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue826' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span>What to expect<\/div>\n    <div id=\"tab-id-2-container\" class=\"tab_content \">\n        <div class=\"tab_inner_content invers-color\"  itemprop=\"text\" >\n<p>NOTE:\u00a0 THIS IS A LONG TEST THAT INVOLVES BREATHING IN AND OUT OF A FACEMASK WHILE EXERCISING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR<\/p>\n<p>Think of testing as a quality training day, treat it with motivated intention in order to produce the best results.
