- I’m delighted to have been appointed as the next Editor-in-Chief of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise! @MSSEonline @ACSMNews multibriefs.com/briefs/ACSM/AC…
- Physiological demands of running at 2-hour marathon race pace.
- I just turned 50 years old and my wonderful lab group got me this awesome picture featuring 267 of my research articles, a UK record and some other highlights 👍😀
- Amazing to think that the AVERAGE VO2 sustained during a 2 hour marathon is ~TWICE the VO2 MAX of a ‘normal’ person 😳Elite runners need a specific combination of physiological abilities to cope with the demands of a two-hour #marathon, #research by @AndyBeetroot shows. The study is based on detailed testing of athletes taking part in Nike’s ambitious #Breaking2 project ow.ly/4dUx50CjzfS
- Very sad today to hear the news that Karlman Wasserman, respiratory physiology legend and my wonderful postdoc mentor at Harbor-UCLA has passed away. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity he gave me.
- 19 years ago today smashed the world marathon record in London with her 2:15:25.
- My goal in 2020 was to run a sub-3 hour marathon (aged 50). I didn’t get the chance to try after all the races were cancelled or postponed - so I’ll try again this year. I have to assume that the Prague marathon on 2nd May will go ahead (though it’s maybe only 50:50).
- Here we go! Proud to announce that @EliudKipchoge will be @UniofExeter @ExeterSHS honorary graduate on Saturday. exeter.ac.uk/honorarygradua…
- The anaerobic threshold: 50+ years of controversy.
