Your regular reminder that Jimmy (himself wounded at Mt Longdon) has compiled the single best book ever written to understand what an NCO’s role is in battle. I used to recommend it to every one of my officer cadets. 🟩

If you’re following Ricky’s excellent thread and want to know what it was like to fight on Mount London then I can recommend @Jimmyocx3 excellent book 3 days in June
A great read that pulls no punches and is a factual minute by minute coverage of the battle that he himself was wounded in

🚨 Meet the Speakers of #mNIRS2026
We are excited to welcome @RichieGoulding1 , whose research explores skeletal muscle oxygen transport and bioenergetics during exercise. Using NIRS, he studies how ageing, disease, and inactivity affect muscle function and exercise tolerance.

📌 Conclusion
Across a large heterogeneous cohort:
- V̇O₂max economy explain ~95% of performance variance
- Fractional utilisation has limited discriminative power
- LT could be estimated somewhat accurately from LTP

New publication Sports Medicine!
After 35 years, how well does Joyner’s endurance performance model still hold up?
I’m excited to share our latest paper where we used this classic model in a large cohort of 888 individuals , from recreational athletes to world-class.
