The Physiology of Endurance Running Podcast

Following the recent episode about body weight, Dan & Owain interview Dr James Fleming about body composition and the work of an applied practitioner in the nutrition space.
James is a lecturer at St Mary's University, with experience in nutrition and body composition. He's also hosting an Adolescent Athlete Conference in June 2027. Drop him an email if you're interested in attending (james.fleming@stmarys.ac.uk)

Dan & Owain take a deep dive into New Zealand blackcurrants and anthocyanins, specifically looking at their possible benefit in the heat. They also critically discuss applying research in the supplement space, and the evidence that exists for blackcurrants and other supplements on the market.

In the last few years, lab testing has exploded as an industry - expanding beyond a few universities offering tests in their laboratory. Unfortunately not all tests are equal, and having seen more bad tests, Dan & Owain talk through what you should be looking for from a lab test.
Send us in your tests and we might do an episode talking through some of the bad ones soon!

In case you missed it, Dan & his wife Jemima welcomed Betsi into the world last week - and we've taken a week off of recording.
This week's episode is a compilation of some of the best content on our patreon from the last 8 months; paper breakdowns, training talk (road to Valencia continued), interviews, road to London, and more behind the scenes content.
Hope you enjoy - and we'll be back next week!
