It was great to have Jeannie in the lab tested after her marathon WR (> 75 category) in London.

I can't thank enough the support received from @LboroSport and @steveharris24 leading up to this, and @NataliaGalan14, Lucija and Alex during the testing day.

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

Great to work with @_BHealyyy of @EFprocycling over xmas to help provide insight into his physiological response to hot environmental conditions. Testing pre and post a heat acclimation block provided valuable information to shape periodisation & develop race day support strategy

We're looking for a part-time lab tech to support our
@UKSportsInst physiologists as they prepare athletes for this summer’s Olympic & Paralympic Games! It's 3 days/wk from late-Feb to mid-July & could be valuable experience for an aspiring practitioner

Great to have @MicZanini talking Running Performance and Durability to our physiology team with IDT members from across @LboroSport @LboroAthletics @lborotriathlon

[Michele Zanini @MicZanini]

Grateful to have presented part of our work on #durability in distance #runners to @LboroSport #endurance and S&C #coaches, and physiologists, this week.

Thanks @steveharris24 for organising, and all attendees in person and online for the interested questions!

Really enjoyed it

❗Applications are now open for our UG Placements with Loughborough Sport❗
All the information on how to apply and details of each placement is on our website - linked in our bio.
Applications close on Sunday the 26th November

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

@Tyler_ExPhys Definitely something I see a lot in applied practice. We have a range of data from our commercial service with a fair number of MdS runners etc. Would be interesting to discus on your findings and contribute if possible!

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

@BritishConti @otleycycleraces Is anyone putting on a live stream this year? (+ rest of the National Crit Series?)

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

@Spragg_Perform Seen a few marathon / ultra runners reach ~3 L/h during Tokyo / MdS heat acclimatisation (chamber based)… I think @andybl0w recently discussed some results from athletes competing at Kona on the Scientific Triathlon Podcast

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

⚙️ Having ran the testing at the @LightningCycle Winter Camp we’re looking forward to providing riders with greater insight into their sprinting strength and weaknesses to refine race strategy + training

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

Catch up from last week, re-reading a paper by my old pal @kbergintaylor … Field-testing to determine power-cadence profiles in professional road cyclists. https://t.co/hsCSEPzbnZ

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

⚙️Pushing torque-cadence profiling from the lab into the field. Some nice results presented with differentiation between GC / Sprinters (Lead-Out & Finish) / Classic Riders

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

@Lightningfootbl @Demied1 Will have to come watch a match @Demied1

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

@gareth_wallis @timpodlogar @UBSportExR Would have loved to make the journey over but train strikes made it a challenge. Is there a recording anywhere that could be accessed?

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

Interested to see how this stacks up with our National Level U23 & Women's racing in the UK.
Paper once again demonstrates the importance of durability which has led to thoughts of how we can best track year to year progression for U23 riders.

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

Doubling up this week because I forgot to post last week... First one read:
Predictors of cycling performance success: Traditional approaches and a novel method to assess performance capacity in U23 road cyclists
https://t.co/pNbXpXdxfD

[Steve Harris @steveharris24]

At some points I did find the paper hard to read (possibly due to my intellect) although the premise and outcomes seem sensible.
Off the back of the paper I have added the compound score + allometrically scaled power metrics into my performance spreadsheets
