Unleash Your Potential with the Athlete Archetype Assessment

No Lab Needed- Test Anywhere, Any Time

The Athlete Archetype Assessment lets you know precisely which training approach your physiology actually needs, where your performance limiters lie, and exactly how to train to maximize your unique potential. Using Catalyst Endurance's proprietary assessment algorithm, we determine whether you're Aerobic , Balanced , or Anaerobic —revealing the relationship between your sustainable thresholds and maximal aerobic capacity. This enables you to address your specific physiological profile and create a customized training plan built for your body and goals, not generic prescriptions.

All of this is done through field-based power and pace testing protocols for swim, bike and run.  

The Problem:

Basing a training program on a single metric, such as FTP or Threshold Pace alone is a great start, but is not enough if you want maximum improvement. Efficiency, aerobic and anaerobic energy supply, carbohydrate sparing, and recovery are just a few examples of crucial training metrics that can significantly impact performance as well as how you should structure training. 

The Solution:

The Athlete Archetype Assessment allows you to test remotely: outdoor or indoor. Test on your time, as part of your training schedule. Complete a series of specific tests for the swim, bike and the run.  Then send us the power/pace/heart rate files and we’ll input the data in Catalyst Endurance proprietary algorithm give you your specific archetype, zones for training and example training sessions for each discpline including a full explanation of what the results mean and how it impacts the type of training you want to do.

A Step Further:

You can also include your A race or races including goals for the season and with that give you a complete overall picture of where you are and what you need to do to achieve those goals.
