A lot of work and dedication goes into being an athlete, but Dan, the HIIT Science author and lecturer of both Rowing and Triathlon chapters, shares with us his journey from athlete, to sport science student and all the way to EXPERT sport scientist… and now - world leading COACH 😇!

In our 8th episode, Paul and Dan discuss some powerful topics⚡, especially around application of HRV, the best way to use low carb diets, how doing something is always better than nothing ✔️, as well as how important it is to “learn” the sport first as a sports scientist 😊!

Along with some extra stories of how their bromance ❤️ developed as well.
