Current interests

My main areas of interest are the physiology of endurance performance and research into middle and long distance running with particular emphasis on performance, training and pacing

Research

My current research is focused around ‘the distance-time relationship and its use in endurance training and performance’.

We are currently conducting a wide range of studies in this area, examples of which include: developing a valid and reliable field test of the distance time relationship and using the distance-time relationship to monitor changes in performance during the course of an athletics season.
