Helps others train smart and share this page

​These nerd alerts are free. Please help keep them alive by buying us a beer:

Buy me a beer.Buy me a beer.


The running science nerd-alert.
Every day is a school day.
Empower yourself to train smart.
Think critically. Be informed. Stay educated.

From Thomas Solomon PhD and Matt Laye PhD.
For scientists, clinicians, coaches, students, and athletes.

Each month we compile a short-list of recently-published journal articles that have caught our eye in the world of running science. We then break them into bite-sized chunks so you can digest them as food for thought to help optimise your training... To help wash it all down and get your snifter fix, we even review our favourite beers of the month and assign them a non-validated RP(be)E(r) score — a Rating of Perceived beer Enjoyment... So, come get nerdy!

Dr Thomas Solomon and Dr Matt Laye. Running science nerd alert.
About the authors:
Matt and Thomas 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 are both performance coaches alongside their day jobs. Originally from different sides of the Atlantic, their paths first crossed in Copenhagen in 2010 where they were both research scientists at the Centre for Inflammation and Metabolism at Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen University Hospital). After discussing lots of science during many-a-mile pounding the trails and frequent micro brew 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 for the CCC in Schwartzwald. Although they are once again separated by the Atlantic, Matt and Thomas 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 they read each month.
