In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber walk through a real-world consultation involving a collegiate runner whose metabolic test results didn't match expectations. What starts as a simple test review turns into a deep exploration of training errors, load vs. capacity, the dangers of chronic overload, and how individualized training can transform performance and longevity.

Cameron and Marc break down why athletes—especially collegiate endurance athletes—often fall into cycles of injury, overtraining, and frustration. They discuss how heart rate–based training, metabolic testing, fueling strategies, and better lifestyle assessment can uncover the true causes of plateaued performance. You'll learn how elite runners train (hint: much slower than you think), why most people spend too much time in Zone 3, and what it takes to build a resilient, high-performing athlete.

This episode is a masterclass in how to ask the right questions, interpret metabolic data, and design training that keeps athletes in the game rather than sidelined by injury.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• How to interpret metabolic test results in the context of an athlete's training history

• Why most performance problems are training errors, not equipment errors

• The difference between overload vs. overuse, and why it matters for injury prevention

• How chronic life stress, poor sleep, and inadequate fueling disrupt performance

• Why Zone 2 training is foundational—and why Zone 3 can be the "no-progress zone"

• How elite athletes use slow training to build world-class performance

• The importance of heart rate auto-regulation for day-to-day training decisions

• How metabolic testing improves fueling strategies, resilience, and recovery

• Why individualized plans outperform group training standards

• How to design the right test based on the athlete's goals and limitations
