Thomas Solomon Nerd Alert
The monthly running science nerd alert is an evidence synthesis journal club that aims to improve your endurance training or coaching practice with educational and understandable research reviews. Every month, I compile a short list of recently published journal articles that have caught my eye in the world of running science. I then break them into bite-sized chunks that help filter the signal from the noise. The topics include training methods, sports nutrition, sports supplements, recovery, athlete health, injuries, female athlete physiology and more. And, to help wash it all down and get your snifter fix, I even review my favourite beer of the month and assign it a non-validated RP(be)E(r) score — aka, a Rating of Perceived beer Enjoyment... So, come get nerdy!

Scroll down to get your nerd alert.


Helps others train smart.
Please tweet or share these free nerd alerts with anyone who will find them educational.

About the authors:
Thomas and Matt are both passionate about making science accessible and helping folks meet their fitness and performance goals. They both have PhDs in exercise science, are widely published, have had their own athletic careers, and have both been performance coaches and science writers alongside their day jobs. Originally from different sides of the Atlantic, their paths first crossed in Copenhagen in 2010 as research scientists at the Centre for Inflammation and Metabolism at Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen University Hospital). After discussing lots of science, spending many a mile pounding the trails, and frequent microbrew pub drinking sessions, they became firm friends. Thomas even got a buy one get one free deal out of the friendship, marrying one of Matt's best friends from home after a chance encounter during a training weekend in Schwartzwald. Although they are once again separated by the Atlantic, Thomas and Matt meet up about once a year and have weekly video chats about science, running, and beer. This "nerd alert" was created as an outlet for some of the hundreds of scientific papers craft beers they read drink each month.
