A Faster You measures what your body actually does — VO2max, lactate production, your real threshold — and builds a training plan around it that adapts as you improve. We develop technical und digital instruments for an aerodynamic and metabolic analyses in the area of bicycle racing and triathlon. We also offer different related services such as our Powertest, Aerotest and race simulation software. Looking at our customers, we would like them to get to know a faster version of themselves – hence our slogan: a faster you.

Training hard can bring results.

That’s exactly why bad training can be so difficult to recognize.

You can get faster. Push more watts. Improve your numbers. Feel like the work is paying off.

Until the load becomes too much, recovery stops keeping up, and the same training that was making you better starts holding you back.

Performance isn’t about doing more every week. It’s about understanding how much stress your body can actually absorb and knowing when to push, when to recover, and when to change the plan.

That’s where data matters.

Not to replace how you feel, but to understand what’s happening behind the feeling.

With , we use testing, training data and progression over time to make sure the work is actually taking us in the direction we want.

Because good training isn’t the training that destroys you.

It’s the training you can adapt to - link in bio😎

Your watch gives you one VO₂max, your training app gives you another and a lab test might give you a third.

So which number should you actually trust?

We didn’t want Powertest to be another algorithm making a confident guess. We wanted to know how it performs against the gold standard.

So we tested it.

43 athletes. Two independent cohorts. Lab spirometry at MSH Medical School Hamburg. During the comparison, Powertest had access only to the data it would normally have: time, power and heart rate. The oxygen measurements stayed hidden.

The result?

−1.8 ml/min/kg mean bias compared with the lab.
3.3 ml/min/kg typical single-test difference.
0.88 correlation.

But there’s something even more important than getting the VO₂max number close.

Your training doesn’t depend on having a perfect VO₂max label.

Threshold power didn’t change.
W′ didn’t change.
Training zones moved by a maximum of 5 watts.

Because ultimately, you don’t train in ml/min/kg.

You train in watts.

And Powertest gives you more than a VO₂max estimate: it gives you VO₂max, VLamax, CP, W′, FatMax and your training zones from one ride, whenever you want to test again.

No cherry-picking. No hidden athletes. No pretending the model is perfect.

Just the data.

And you can test it yourself, link in bio🙌🏼

Most training plans for women are just men’s plans with slightly lower numbers. Same zones. Same intensity distribution. Same recovery windows. Built on research done almost entirely on male athletes and handed to women as if the physiology is identical.
It is not.

Women burn fat more efficiently than men at the same relative intensity. That is a significant endurance advantage and almost no training plan is built around it. Women also produce lactate differently, respond differently to high intensity work across their hormonal cycle, and are generally less fatigable in long efforts than men at the same fitness level.

The longer the race the more these differences matter. The performance gap between men and women in endurance sport almost disappears at ultra distances. In some events women outperform men outright. Not because of mindset. Because of physiology that was built for exactly that kind of effort.

But if your training plan does not account for any of this, if it does not know your fat oxidation rate, does not adjust around your cycle, does not recognise that your metabolism works differently, you are leaving that advantage completely untrained.

You are not worse at endurance. You are just following a plan that was never built for you.

That is exactly what we are changing at .

Metabolic training built around your actual physiology, not a scaled down version of someone else’s.

A lot of athletes make the same mistake in race week: they start to overdo it.

Because suddenly everything feels important.
One more hard session.
One more long effort.
One more “just to make sure.”

But that is exactly what can ruin performance.

Race week is not the moment to build more fitness.
It is the moment to arrive with a body that is ready to use the fitness you already built.

And when athletes panic, add too much, or stop trusting the process, they often show up more tired than prepared.

That is exactly why, in , you can add your competition directly into your training plan.

Because once your race is in the system, the plan is built around your goal, your body, and the timing you actually need.

So instead of guessing what to do in race week, overdoing it, or trying to squeeze in last-minute fitness, your training is already shaped to bring you there in the right way.

Less panic.
Less random extra work.
Better timing.
Better chances to actually perform.

Because race week should not be about doing more.

It should be about arriving ready.

Every fitness platform is talking about AI right now. Most of them are using it to write training plan descriptions, generate motivational content, and make their product feel more advanced than it is.

We use it differently.

The AI behind Afasteryou does not write content. It reads physiology. It analyses how your body produces energy, your aerobic capacity, your anaerobic power, your fat oxidation rate, your real lactate thresholds and builds a training plan around what your specific metabolism actually needs.

Not a template with your name on it. Not a generic plan adjusted by a questionnaire. A plan that changes based on how you actually responded to the last session. That knows the difference between fatigue and adaptation. That understands your physiology well enough to know when to push and when to pull back.

That is not a feature. That is a completely different category of training tool.

The AI everyone is talking about is impressive at generating things. Ours is built for one thing only, making you a faster endurance athlete by understanding your body better than any generic plan ever could.

We are not using AI to sell you training. We are using it to deliver training that actually works.

The most dangerous belief in endurance training is that suffering equals progress.

Athletes finish a session they can barely walk away from and call it a good week. The soreness feels like proof. Proof that something happened. Proof that the body is changing. But soreness only means one thing your muscles were stressed beyond what they were ready for. That is all it means. It says nothing about whether you are actually getting faster.

The sessions that built the most fitness in your career probably did not destroy you the next day. A well-timed interval session. A long run at the right pace. A threshold effort that was hard but controlled. You finished tired, you recovered normally, and six weeks later you were faster. No drama. No two days of limping. Just adaptation happening quietly in the background.

Real adaptation does not announce itself. It shows up in small moments you almost miss. The pace that used to feel hard now feels controlled. The effort that used to break you now feels manageable. The session you dreaded now feels like a normal Tuesday.

That is progress. Not the pain. Not the destruction. The slow, undramatic shift where hard things become normal things.

Here is what this means for how you train. If your plan regularly leaves you unable to train the next day it is not pushing you, it is just damaging you. A plan that creates adaptation knows the difference between stress that builds and stress that breaks. It adjusts when you respond well. It pulls back when you do not. It treats your body as something to develop not punish.

A plan that ignores how you respond is not coaching. It is just a schedule.

That is exactly what Afasteryou does differently. Every session is built around what your physiology is ready for, not what looks hard on paper.

Most cyclists who struggle on social rides assume the same thing. Everyone else is fitter. Everyone else is recovering better. Everyone else just has more time to train.
Almost never true.

The real reason social rides feel like survival is usually this. Your training is keeping you just fit enough to start the ride but not fit enough to absorb the surges, the climbs, the moments when the pace lifts and the group accelerates without warning.

That happens when your aerobic base is underdeveloped and your training zones are set too high. Your easy rides are not easy enough to build the foundation. Your hard rides are not targeted enough to raise the ceiling. So you arrive at every social ride sitting right at your limit and the moment anyone pushes you go straight into the red.

The riders who look comfortable are not necessarily doing more hours than you. They are probably doing better hours. Their easy days are genuinely easy, building aerobic infrastructure, improving fat burning, lowering the effort it takes to hold a given pace. Their hard days hit the right physiological target instead of just creating fatigue.

The result is an athlete who can absorb surges, recover between climbs, and still have something left in the final kilometres. That is not a fitness gap. That is a training quality gap.

Social rides should not feel like races. If they always do, something in the training needs to change. Not the volume. Not the effort. The structure underneath it.
