We’re conducting a study on how lactate measurements are used to monitor endurance training intensity. If you’re an athlete or coach who uses lactate testing in your sessions, we’d love your input!Sharing is aprreciated! @AndyBeetroot @Fer742 @GIRD_UCLM forms.office.com/pages/response…
Had the opportunity to present some provisional durability findings at the @ScienceCycling conference last week ahead of Le tour!🇫🇷 Super interesting couple of days!
Great week as always at ECSS. It was a pleasure to present our work and engage in some thought provoking discussions. I’ve uploaded the slides to my ResearchGate profile, so feel free to check them out: researchgate.net/publication/39…
Tomorrow at @E_C_S_S I’ll be discussing our findings on the durability of marathon runners and its association with performance. 🗓️ 02.07.2025, 13:15 📍 Lavatoio If you’re not attending and would like a copy of the slides, get in touch.

If you're racing the @centurionrunner SDW 100 or other ultra events this weekend or coming up, please get in touch with James (@barber_james96 - [email protected]). He's investigating how ultra-runners prepare for races in the heat. 🌡️🔥🎽👟 #ultra #race #centurion #SDW
Racing @centurionrunner SDW 100 or elsewhere this weekend? It's looking pretty warm! We're researching how ultra-runners prep for the heat. Maybe you'd like to complete our survey telling us about your heat mitigation plans. DM or email [email protected] to get involved!
New study where we investigate whether 1) ‘super shoes’ work for recreat. runners, and 2) why some runners benefit more 1. Super shoes improved RE by 2–4% 2. Comfort, anthropometrics, muscle architecture & running style didn't explain who benefited most onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…
🚴♂️ New open-access paper from our group out in EJAP! We show durability of the moderate-to-heavy intensity transition (VT1) during prolonged cycling can be predicted using simple, readily available markers of physiological decoupling. (1/7) 📄 doi.org/10.1007/s00421…
Our new durability paper is out in SJMSS! We tested how endurance performance determinants change after heavy-intensity running (90 and 120 min) in well-trained marathoners. 📌Below details of what we’ve found. 🆓 Open-Access 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm… @rich_blagrove 🧵1/14
How do you make the impossible possible? Our latest research article: "Seven (.65) Seconds Away: The Possibility and Physiology of a Women's Sub-4 Minute Mile." doi.org/10.1152/japplp… Faith Kipyegon will make her attempt at the Stade Charlety in Paris, on June 26.
Very interesting new study in @IJSPPjournal by Johansen, Støren and colleagues Elite Aerobic Endurance Performance: Is It Really Related to Lactate Threshold Expressed Relative to Peak Oxygen Uptake? journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…
Tried to go beyond traditional approaches, by discussing the possible physiological limiting factors of the limiting factor(s) of (endurance) exercise performance. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/EP…

New study: CP and MLSS not interchangeable for determining heavy-severe exercise boundary due to high individual variability. In our view, both thresholds provide complementary information (internal/external load) useful for exercise prescription. peerj.com/articles/19060/
New paper out! @IJSPPjournal In the last paper of my PhD, we studied the training characteristics related to changes in (durability) performance: …-humankinetics-com.vu-nl.idm.oclc.org/view/journals/… Main findings? See 👇
🚨Possibly the last chance to get involved in this exciting study looking into fatigue resistance (durability/resilience)🚨 Want to know your physiology? ⬇️ Next bout of data collection starts in April! Register your interest here: forms.office.com/e/p6rCTgtm4c
