Just how do we go about building one?

Above you'll see data from 10 recent metabolic tests for athletes that I also have training data for.
They range from
- recreational athletes <-> elite
- super strong #FatBurners of 11kcal/min <-> athletes with very poor max fat oxidation rates of 2kcal/min..

You can see their average training intensity for the 12 mo before the test plotted against their test results. The first takeaway is obvious..
Athletes with a strong ability to use fat as a substrate spend more of their time training at a very low intensity than those who don't!
