Race Preparation
Metabolic race preparation for cyclists and triathletes. A strategy based on your body's data.
How fast can you ride? How many carbohydrates do you need? When should you eat? The INSCYD test reveals your physiology, and I prepare a race strategy that enables you to achieve maximum results.
- INSCYD metabolic test
- Race course analysis
- Nutrition strategy
- Race tactics
Complete race preparation
From metabolic testing to a ready-made strategy for race day.
INSCYD metabolic test
1x PPD or LA test to determine your metabolic parameters (VLamax, VO2max, FatMax, thresholds).
Race course analysis
Detailed analysis of the elevation profile, technical demands, and key segments of the course.
Nutrition strategy
Analysis of substrate utilization (carbohydrates, fats) and a detailed energy intake plan for race day.
Race tactics
Recommended intensities for individual segments, pacing strategy, and target power/pace.
Choose your challenge
The preparation is suitable for all endurance events where proper strategy is key.
Cycling
- Gran Fondo races (Maratona dles Dolomites, L'Etape...)
- Time trials
- Stage races
- Mountain biking (XCO, XCM)

How the preparation works
From order to the start line.
Order & Test
After ordering, you receive instructions for performing the INSCYD test. The PPD test is done at home, the LA test by arrangement.
Send data
You send the .fit file from the test and race data (course GPX, goals, experience).
Analysis
I analyze your metabolic profile and race course. I prepare the nutrition strategy and tactics.
Strategy
You receive a document with your race strategy: pacing, nutrition, key segments, target power/pace.
Frequently asked questions
Cycling: Gran Fondo races, time trials, stage races, mountain biking, ultra-distance. Triathlon: Ironman, 70.3, Olympic distance. The preparation is suitable for any competition where proper nutrition and pacing strategy is key.
For triathlon competitions, a separate INSCYD test for cycling and running is required, as the metabolic profiles are different. This allows for precise strategy preparation for both segments. When ordering, select the triathlon option (+1 additional test).
The base price (169€) includes 1x INSCYD test, course analysis, nutrition strategy, and race tactics. For the full INSCYD report (detailed explanation of all metabolic parameters), there is an additional charge of +39€.
PPD (Power Performance Decoder) is a test you perform independently on a smart trainer or bike with a power meter. LA (Lactate) is a test with lactate measurements that can be performed independently or at an agreed location. The LA test has a +30€ surcharge.
Ideally 2-3 weeks before the competition. This is the optimal time to complete the test and prepare the strategy, while leaving enough time (a few specific workouts) to test the nutrition plan and, if needed, gut training. However, I recommend getting in touch several weeks before the competition so we can figure out which areas need the most help and have enough time to execute optimally.
No, this service is focused on race preparation (strategy, nutrition, tactics). For a training plan, check out monthly coaching or INSCYD + Plan packages.
