Yesterday saw Bike Science – Planet X team riders Lisa Greenfield and Paul Horsfall perform our first ever metabolic profiling sessions at Bike Science Bristol. Jon Riley of TrueZone testing visited to show us the “New Leaf ” metabolic profiling system in action and give our team riders the opportunity to gain valuable information on which to base their early winter training.
The testing procedure is non-invasive (no blood samples are taken) and works by comparing the levels of carbon dioxide in the air with the levels exhaled by the rider as they perform at a known level of output. The test involves a sub maximal ramp test (there’s no falling off the bike knackered or throwing up in a bucket unless you REALLY want to go that hard). During the test, the rider is asked to pedal at a steady power output (Powertap power meters are used to ensure accurate power measurement). At regular intervals the intensity is increased as the rider’s exhaled air is sampled. The New Leaf system then records and determines the following…
1. Power Output
2. Heart Rate
3. Number of calories burnt per minute at each intensity
4. Percentage of calories obtained from carbohydrate metabolism at each intensity
5. Percentage of calories obtained from fat metabolism at each intensity
This information is absolutely key to any athlete intending on competing in any aerobic sport.
Training intensity and calorific requirements can be accurately calculated allowing the athlete or coach to perfectly tailor their training to suit their fitness levels and goals.
Treat yourself to your best season ever in 2012 by starting your winter training with ACCURATE information.
Bike Science are offering metabolic profiling testing in Bristol on Saturday the 26th of November – open to ALL LEVELS of rider at any level of fitness.

Lisa’s Kona race report in her own words…
This is more than just a race report to cover my Kona experience. With regard to the actual physicalchallenge the swim was hard as I was in a large pack and we were all swimming at the same paceso there was lots of jostling around in the choppy water. The bike went well it and for the mostpart I felt strong and biked well within my capability. It was of course very hot, breezy along thecost and very windy turning off the coast up the turnaround. At Hawi I served a four 4 minutepenalty for drafting (on a climb!!) along with 20 other cyclists, there were big groups on the courseso drafting on the hills was a problem. My vision started to go at mile 80 and I had developed ablinding headache and a ferocious thirst, I attempted to take on board more fluids from this point onbut my stomach was cramping. I made it into transition and headed out on the run but I knew I wasin trouble. My vision was very poor and my legs and feet were cramping badly. I made it to mile 4before I was overcome. Fortunately the Doctor who had been looking after Julie Dibbens was closeby and I was shipped off to Medical to fro the treatment of the hypoglycaemia.
However if the truth be told the reason why I DNF’d at the biggest event of my life was down toarrogance, this was the first race I had started really believing I had a chance to do well. OrdinarilyI make the start line hoping I make it round but with my performance in Lanzarote and a summerof hard and focused training I had an over inflated feeling of self belief. This led me to make baddecisions I didn’t monitor my fluid intake on the bike, I didn’t eat anywhere near enough. I didn’tacclimatise properly, I underestimated the affect the humidity would have and I didn’t hydratewell or fully prepare the days preceding the race.I had begun to believe my own hype and it is thisthat makes it hard for me to climb on that plane home tomorrow and face my friends and familywho have provided the most amazing level of support I have ever experienced. I feel like I have letthem all down and if I had been more humble then I would be greeting them with a result to beproud of rather than limping back with excuses!!!So the most important lesson I will take from thisexperience is that I remain an (almost middle aged) woman from Tetbury who swims, bikes and runsa lot because it makes me smile and feel alive. I will come back from this stronger, more focusedand with a renewed understanding of what it takes for me to achieve my goals, and who knows Imay find myself back on these shores again……..”
