Following the recent episode about body weight, Dan & Owain interview Dr James Fleming about body composition and the work of an applied practitioner in the nutrition space.

James is a lecturer at St Mary's University, with experience in nutrition and body composition. He's also hosting an Adolescent Athlete Conference in June 2027. Drop him an email if you're interested in attending ([email protected])

Dan & Owain take a deep dive into New Zealand blackcurrants and anthocyanins, specifically looking at their possible benefit in the heat. They also critically discuss applying research in the supplement space, and the evidence that exists for blackcurrants and other supplements on the market.

In the last few years, lab testing has exploded as an industry - expanding beyond a few universities offering tests in their laboratory. Unfortunately not all tests are equal, and having seen more bad tests, Dan & Owain talk through what you should be looking for from a lab test.

Send us in your tests and we might do an episode talking through some of the bad ones soon!

In case you missed it, Dan & his wife Jemima welcomed Betsi into the world last week - and we've taken a week off of recording.

This week's episode is a compilation of some of the best content on our patreon from the last 8 months; paper breakdowns, training talk (road to Valencia continued), interviews, road to London, and more behind the scenes content.

Hope you enjoy - and we'll be back next week!

Dan & Owain get their prediction hats on, and discuss where they think the future of sport science is heading. Along with some fun suggestions, they discuss training, nutrition & technology, and what they think might be different (or stay the same) in 5 years time.

What do you think we might be doing in 2031?

Dan & Owain dive into a taboo area of endurance sports, one that has returned as a discussion point following Josh Kerr's mile world record - weight.

Tackling the subject through the lens of a fantastic case study by Trent Stellingwerff, they discuss the importance of weight and body composition, and share some thoughts about when you might want to think about this yourself.

Thanks for the support as always!

The endurance sport world is buzzing with discussion about lactate gels. From powering Yomif Kejelcha to a 1:59 marathon (maybe), and Tadej Pogacar to another Tour de France victory, lots of people are talking about these gels - so Dan & Owain talk through what we know... so far!

Lots more to come with this topic!

Dan & Owain chat to the founder of Tymewear, Arnar Larusson.

Tymewear is a heart rate monitor with a built in ventilation measurement device, that offers ventilatory data - a measure seen in the lab but not readily available in the field!

Arnar talks about the creation of the device, and going from an idea to the device being used at the Tour de France by Team Visma Lease-a-Bike!
