Dan & Owain are back with another spreadsheet to talk through!

This week, they’ve been in the lab putting some super shoes through their paces; including the new Adidas Evo Pro 3 - the shoe that took Sawe and Kejelcha to sub-2 marathons!

The boys talk through shoe testing protocols, the results, and how to go about applying the data!

A couple of weeks ago, Dan, Owain & Jen headed to the lab to find out just what sort of shape Dan was in!

With a goal of 2:09 in Seville next year, we want to show you how a lab test can help inform training in pursuit of big goals.

Head over to our YouTube channel (The Physiology of Endurance) for a full behind the scenes tour of what goes down in a lab test, and why. Interested in the data.. we’ve got that covered in our latest podcast episode too! 👀

In an exciting new mini series, we are following along on Dan’s journey to Seville marathon 2027. In this episode we go through Dan’s most recent lab data and show how it becomes the blueprint for the build ahead.

This is a real world case study in applying a science-based, evidence-led approach to marathon training, from the lab to the start line. Whether you’re chasing a PB of your own or just want to understand how physiology translates into a training plan, this one is for you!

We will also be releasing a YouTube video on Dan’s exact lab test and the BTS of how a lab test is carried out, so keep your eyes peeled!

Following on from a previous episode about body weight, Dan & Owain welcome Dr. James Fleming to the podcast this week to talk about body composition and the work of an applied practitioner in the nutrition space.

@flemingjames_ is a lecturer at St Mary’s University, with experience in nutrition and body composition. You can find links to the research mentioned in the podcast in the show notes.

In the last few years, lab testing has exploded as an industry, expanding beyond a few universities offering tests in their labs. Data is a great way to inform your training.

Unfortunately, not all tests are equal, and having seen some more bad tests, this week Dan & Owain talk through what you should be looking for from a lab test.

Had a test recently?! Send them in and we might do an episode talking through some of the bad ones, and why thats the case.

This 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 and technology - and what they think might be different in 5 years time.

Put your predictions below of what you think we might be doing by 2031?! 👀

On this week’s episode, Dan & Owain dive into a taboo area of endurance sports, one that has returned as a discussion point following Josh Kerr’s mile work 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.

This week Dan & Owain sit down with 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 available in the field.

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

Taurine - well known to anyone that’s partial to a Red Bull or can of Monster, but it could also be a supplement that may improve your performance in the heat!

This week, Dan & Owain talk us through what Taurine is, how it may improve your performance in the heat and whether there is a good evidence base behind it.

Could this be your next 1%?!

On this weeks episode, Dan & Owain put the future of The Endurance Collective on the line as they put the Claude and Strava integration through its paces 😬

A range of questions were put to Claude to interrogate their data, with varying results!

Check back in 12 months time to see if The Endurance Collective has been made redundant 🫣
