Train.Red’s devices use Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure athletes’ muscles, turning the data into easy-to-understand, actionable insights. For ETT athletes, this means using muscle oxygen data in their daily training sessions, whether this is out on the trails or indoors, during structured treadmill or strength training workouts.
Performance Director Doug says: “In our fast-growing sport, using the latest science-based technology and data insights is what will give athletes that competitive edge. The portability and reliability of Train.Red devices makes them a perfect fit for the demands of trail running, allowing us to then gather valuable insights from athletes’ training sessions and further tailor their training plans accordingly.”
We’ve started working with Train.Red devices during our recent team camp at Loughborough University. ETT athlete Kris has also been wearing his muscle oxygen sensor during his winning run at the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia by UTMB 50k. We’ll be sharing some of the findings and our tips for using Train.Red when training and competing shortly.
Train.Red uses Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) to provide real-time insights into muscle oxygen levels and how efficiently muscles are using oxygen, through portable, easy-to-use devices that bring lab-grade performance monitoring to endurance athletes.
