01
How to start with physiology, not workouts
Discover why effective training planning starts by identifying the physiological gap between where your athlete is today and where they need to be to achieve their performance goal.
Become a
Physiology-Informed Coach
Learn to build training around the athlete’s physiology, not around generic zones, thresholds, and workouts.

Why this one matters
This webinar is going to change the way you think about performance and training. When you attend this, you won’t be able to unlearn what you learned here.

What you will learn
Five shifts, from workout-first to physiology-first
Each one is a decision you already make every week. The difference is what you base it on.
02
Which physiological parameters actually drive performance
Learn how key physiological parameters contribute to different types of endurance performance, and why understanding the demands of the event should come before choosing the training.
03
The physiological origin of thresholds and FTP
Everyone knows thresholds and FTP. But people rarely ask the question: how are these thresholds generated from a physiological point of view? When you can answer that, you see clearly how to improve FTP and thresholds.
04
Why threshold-based training can miss the physiological target
See why the same percentage of FTP, Critical Power, or threshold can create very different physiological demands in different athletes, and what that means for training prescription.
05
Why interval design is about more than intensity and duration
Learn how work intervals, recovery duration, and recovery intensity interact to change the physiological stimulus of an interval session, even when the work intervals themselves remain exactly the same.
Who should attend
Built for people who prescribe training
No prior knowledge needed. If you create training programs or coach athletes and are looking for ways to improve athletes’ performance, this is for you.
Endurance coaches
Who want to move from training centered around mechanical factors such as power or speed to physiology-based training, simply to overcome performance plateaus and help athletes reach their goals.
Sports scientists and labs
You may have access to some of the most important metrics of exercise performance. Here you learn how to connect those to the training an athlete should, or should not, be doing.
Elite sport organizations
Looking for an edge over the competition. Can you afford a chance to improve the performance of your athletes?

Sebastian Weber
Founder of INSCYD & World-renowned Sport Scientist
Sebastian Weber, a renowned sports scientist and creator of INSCYD, has significantly influenced elite sports training with his expertise in exercise physiology and metabolic profiling. Sebastian has developed the first ever test to measure glycolytic power aka VLamax back in 2003. He has used his knowledge to help some of the best WorldTour cyclists win 9 world championship titles, Olympic medals and Tour de France victories.
Sebastian Weber is consulting and advising the German Swimming and Skiing Federations, the USA Triathlon Federation along with many other elite organizations. He is also a teacher for the German Triathlon Federation and for the Olympic S&C coaching program.

Before you watch
Practical questions
Do I need to sign up to watch?
Only a name and an email address, entered on the player above. That unlocks the full session straight away, and you can watch as much or as little of it as you like.
Do I need to use INSCYD to follow along?
No. This is a physiology session, not a software demo. The concepts apply to whatever testing and planning tools you already use.
How technical does it get?
Technical enough to be useful, plain enough to follow without a physiology degree. If you know what FTP and lactate threshold are, you have the background you need.
Can I ask about my own athletes?
The session closes with a live Q&A, and it is in the recording. If you have a question about your own athletes, reply to any of our emails and it will reach us.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The session is free to watch, in full, as many times as you like.
