Dr Dan Plews is an Applied Sports Scientist, Researcher and coach. As a Sports Scientist Dan has worked closely with athletes who have won more than 25 world and Olympic titles in the sports of rowing, kayak and triathlon. As a researcher, Dan completed his PhD in the area of applied heart rate variability (HRV). This work focused on implementing and validating methods regarding the application of HRV to track training adaptation in elite athletes. Since then, Dan has gone onto having more than 50 peer-reviewed publications in the area of applied sports science and exercise physiology. He is also an avid Ironman triathlete himself, and in 2018 he broke the amateur course record at the Ironman Word Championships in Hawaii, Kona in a time of 8 hr and 24 minutes. Dan also coaches many professional and age-group triathletes.

Dr. Ed Maunder is an exercise physiologist with expertise in metabolic responses to endurance exercise, and metabolic adaptations to endurance training. Ed is a Lecturer in the School of Sport and Recreation. Ed is part of the Sport Physiology and Nutrition Research Group at SPRINZ, and Ed's research is focused on metabolic responses to exercise. Ed is also a British Association of Sport and Exercise Science (BASES) accredited applied exercise physiology practitioner in the Sports Performance Clinic at AUT Millennium and consults to many endurance athletes in running, cycling and triathlon.

Dr Dan Green holds a PHd in Molecular Medicine specialising in Muscle Physiology, from Australian National University 2003, Dans background in profession cycling is extensive and is formerly Head of Performance Innovation and Head Coach at NTT Pro Cycling (2019-2020), the Head of Data Analytics and Team coach at BMC Racing Team (2017-2018) and Head of Sports Science and Team coach at Trek-Segafredo Cycling Team (2016). Dan is a also an exceptionally high level endurance athlete himself and was the 2009 and 2010 Australian Duathlon Champion and 2004 Australian Marathon Champion

Dr Will O’Connor is a running scientist and coach at DrWillOConnor.com. Will drew on his background in organic chemistry to complete a PhD in Sport & Exercise Science at Massey University, where his research investigated metabolic flexibility and ketogenic diets in ultra-endurance performance. Will competes at the Elite level in ultra-running events, and has been using a power meter since day one. He has coached a plethora of athletes from running to triathlon around the world.

Ben Scott is a key performance physiologist in the British swimming programs. A highly successful program having had a record breaking haul of medals at the Tokyo Olympics of 4 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze medal. Ben holds a Masters degree from Loughborough University, and is currently studying a PhD in Profiling Elite Swimmers and Responsiveness to Altitude Training’. He’s also an avid triathlete himself having completed a number of 70.3 distance events. He’s certainly a breath of knowledge when it comes to all things swimming, so we’re very fortunate to have him lead Module 3 which is all about monitoring swimming.
