He's a certified running coach and strength and conditioning specialist and he previously partnered with Nike to run the Nike Running Performance Lab in New York City. You can sign up for his Marathon Science newsletter here.

Jonah was also the sport scientist on hand during a fitness retreat I attended last year where I had my VO2 Max measured. Jonah administered the test, which you can watch on Strength Running's YouTube channel.

• Heat training
• How to develop better running economy
• Heart rate Zones
• Why beginners shouldn't worry about Zone 2
