How much do you really know about how your body performs?

In this episode of The Performance Collective, I sit down with exercise physiologist Mike Weiss to understand the science behind metabolic testing and why it's one of the most valuable tools endurance athletes can use to train smarter.

We cover:
🏃‍♂️ What metabolic testing actually measures
🫁 Why VO₂ max is only part of the picture
⚡ How lactate thresholds impact your performance
🥑 Why becoming a better fat burner matters for endurance
📈 How to use real physiological data to personalize your training

Whether you're training for your first marathon, your next ultramarathon, or coaching athletes toward their goals, this conversation is for you.

Have you ever done a metabolic test? I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments.

Most runners have more data than ever…

…but still don’t know what to do with it.

In this episode of The Performance Collective, I sat down with exercise physiologist Michael Weiss to break down metabolic testing and what it actually tells you about your body, your fueling, and your training.

We talk about:
→ VO₂ max + what it really means
→ Lactate thresholds (and why they matter)
→ How to train smarter instead of just adding more miles

If you’ve ever felt confused by your metrics or stuck in your training, this one will help you connect the dots.

The excitement is palpable and in less than 24 hours the WS runners will be viewing the flag as they crest Emigrant Pass and to think they only have 96 miles to go.
To all of you hopeful buckle earners, I wish you nothing but success, and no doubt there will be difficult periods where you will have to dig down deeper than maybe you ever have before, but remember this, this is your time, you have earned this very special opportunity to tow the line, so I offer you this, enjoy and capture all the memories you'll be making for they will last a lifetime. This is your time. Welcome to States. by @altahps

What time is it? Well up here in Olympic Valley it's Broken Arrow Skyrace time. The big race this morning was the Ascent (formerly the VK). With a blazing 10:31 pace Patrick Kipngeno claimed the top spot for the men while America's Anna Gibson took first for the women only 26 spots later with an equally impressive 11:58 min/mi. Congratulations to all who completed the nearly 3,000 feet of vertical in only 3.6 miles.

If you’re racing at altitude, this is the kind of information that can make or break your day.

This is just a small piece of the conversation I had with exercise physiologist Mike Weiss of Alta Health and Performance Solutions. We go much deeper into altitude, iron, and how to actually train with intention using real physiological data.

If you’ve got a race coming up and want to feel more calm, confident, and in control on the start line, I’ve got something for you:

Comment JITTERS and I’ll send you my free Race Day Jitters Guide.

It walks you through exactly how to manage nerves and execute your race plan with confidence.
