Runners, Rowers, Cyclists, Swimmers, Cross Country Skiers, welcome to the MAPP! This is a low tech, but high content site dedicated to examining and explaining the physiology and training methods of the endurance athlete. This site tends to focus on masters athletes, or those athletes who compete in age group sport. However, the physiology and training information clearly applies to all ages.

MORE QUOTES


My real job as a sport scientist at a university prevents me from spending much time writing for this site these days. However, I do try to keep the material updated and respond to reader questions. Students, please do not ask me to do your homework!

I read all and try to answer most email questions, and post a small selection here, but I can't promise that I will respond to every question. If I don't, it probably means that I got swamped with email and forgot. Try again. Send me a question or comment
