So, firecrackers out the window, tangerines in the fruit bowl & fortune cookies in the hand, how are we going to celebrate? Well, after a busy period working in rugby league events, my friend Iona has managed to work her magic with the editing software & so now I can fulfil a promise I made to you back in the summer. You may remember that whilst on the endurance camp in Font Romeu, I mentioned an interview with Dr Andy Jones, Professor of Applied Physiology at the University of Exeter & Consultant Exercise Physiologist for UK Athletics. Andy offered some insight into his work with the endurance programme & gave a great explanation of why dietary nitrate is so effective. Andy really has a gift for being able to explain complex physiology in a way that everyone can understand it - this really is a great interview, so I hope you enjoy it & learn a lot.
