    Jul 10 2015
    If you are hooked on the sport of running you know that it can be a constant battle with yourself as you continue to search for ways to become faster, less injured and be the best trained and prepared runner you can be on race day. Many focus on sheer pace per mile as their sole barometer of improvement during their training but that strategy may give many runners a false read on their true performance. During In Flight Running episode #3, Coach Michael Merlino explains how metabolic testing and determining your VO2 Max, anaerobic threshold, individual heart rate training zones and resting metabolic rate (RMR) can give you invaluable information on how to become a faster, more efficient and better fueled runner. After performing hundreds of VO2 Max and RMR tests find out why Michael has found that your heart and your current rate of metabolism don't lie and how heart rate training can give you a whole new view of training and performance.
