Entry #001 - Welcome to the Lab
Hi Endurance Enthousiast,
Most training advice is based on anecdotes and marketing. This is where we change that.
I’m Dr. Thomas Mortelmans, and I started The Scientist’s Notebook because the gap between sports science research and what athletes actually do is far too wide.
You are joining as one of our first subscribers. Because this is the Beta phase, your presence here is unique. I’m not just sending you information; I’m looking to build the most useful endurance hub on the internet—and I need your help to do it.
As a Beta member, your feedback is highly appreciated. Every Monday, I’ll send you a new "Notebook Entry"—a distilled, actionable briefing on physiology, pacing, or fueling.
If a topic is too technical, or if you want more data on a specific metric, please let me know. Your input will directly shape the content and products we develop next. I’m treating you as a partner in this lab — I have the research, but you have the real-world 'why.' Let’s co-author the next few briefings together.
Tell me which specific training concepts need a scientific audit by filling this form.
One quick favor to start: To ensure these briefings land in your inbox, please reply to this email with the word "Science."
Glad to have you in the inner circle.
Best,
Dr. Thomas Mortelmans, The Scientist’s Notebook
