Metacycling. Meta comes from the greek word μετά, a preposition meaning 'beyond'. In the title 'meta' also refers to metabolism.
Therefore, the main aim of MetaCycling is to go beyond the pure biochemistry/metabolism of exercise and translate science into practice for improving endurance performance in cycling, but also beyond cycling so in any task in human endurance performance.
My background in science, exercise physiology, nutrition and performance. I was trained during my doctoral studies working with world-leaders in the topics of Exercise Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism in Australia (see publications for further details), and continued to develop my understanding on the field working as a post-doctoral research at the Norwegial School of Sport Sciences. Recently (July 2018) I've been appointed lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University in Liverpool, excited to join a team of world experts in the fields of exercise physiology and nutrition working in the highest level of performance sport.
Applied science, real world practice and performance. A strong believer of 'real-world' practice as an essential component for providing depth of view to research, I don't only spend time in the physiology lab or writing numbers on notepads and spreadsheets, but also on the field working directly with athletes and coaches. Part of this duty includes coaching a limited number of medium, high and top-level athletes in Australia, and consultation with high-level endurance athletes, coaches and directeur sportif from Australia, Argentina, Norway and the United Kingdom.
