For instance, Austin recently worked with an athlete who was cramping regularly in races. First she looked at his nutrition and determined it wasn’t causing the problem. Then, using metabolic testing, she realized there was a “huge block in fat oxidation” and the athlete’s ability to remove lactate, meaning he was accumulating lactate too early into the race. So she did two things: tweaked his training to improve his lactate threshold and changed his race strategy. When working with Keflezighi, Austin could determine the exact pace he could go out at in a marathon because she was familiar with his threshold and rate of lactate clearance (it’s high), but she can create that profile in ...
