Thursday, 12 March, 2026
Dan & Owain talk about the science of trail and ultra running with Dr Simon de Waal.Simon has recently published a number of papers around the reliability and validity of using lab testing with trail and ultra runners - and talks through why there's a need to devise different testing protocols for these athletes. Simon is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gloucestershire, and undertook his PhD at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Simon chatted about his PhD journey; from discovering running to the genesis of the PhD idea, and the studies that he undertook. We really enjoyed this interview, hopefully you do too!Simon's research:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33508776/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39526871/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41697200/The Physiology of Endurance Running podcast is proudly sponsored by SOAR.
