“My mission is to help people improve their running performance while they learn how to master their training journey, forever.”

Thomas Solomon PhD.

I'm a PhD scientist, certified exercise physiologist (ACSM-EP), registered nutritionist (RNur), and athlete.

I’m passionate about human health and performance, data quality, science communication, and open-access to education.

I aim to filter the signal from the noise and try to unite evidence with practice.

I provide free education with my deep-dive articles, “nerd alerts”, infographics, training tools, free training plans, and the train smart framework.

I also offer performance and nutrition consultations for road runners, marathon runners, trail runners, mountain runners, obstacle course racers, and endurance athletes.

Integrity is at the core of my values.

I have pledged to the Clean Sport Collective to create positive change in supporting athletes who are committed to clean sport.

I am not affiliated with / sponsored by / an ambassador for / receiving advertisement royalties from any brands.

My advice concerning branded nutrition, hydration, supplements, and equipment is objective, based on personal preferences, and never influenced by affiliations, sponsorships, advertisement royalties, etc.

Any recommendations I make are, and always will be, based on my own views and opinions shaped by the evidence available. My recommendations have never and will never be influenced by affiliations, sponsorships, advertisement royalties, etc.

I have conducted biomedical research for which I have received research money from publicly-funded national research councils and medical charities, and also from private companies, including Novo Nordisk Foundation, AstraZeneca, Amylin, the A.P. Møller Foundation, and the Augustinus Foundation. I’ve also consulted for Boost Treadmills and Gu Energy on their R&D grant applications and I've provided research and science writing services for Examine. Some of my articles contain links to information provided by Examine but I do not receive any royalties or bonuses from those links. Importantly, none of these companies had any control over the research design, data analysis, or publication outcomes of my work.

To inform the Veohtu Train Smart Framework, I do my utmost to use state-of-the-art, consensus, peer reviewed, and published scientific evidence combined with my empirical evidence observed in practice and feedback from athletes.

The information I provide is not medical advice. Before making any changes to your habits of daily living based on any information I provide, always ensure it is safe for you to do so and always consult your doctor if you are unsure.

Think critically. Keep informed. Stay educated.
