Lois has experience working with athletes across a wide variety of sports, including triathlon, athletics, and cycling, and has supported a diverse array of athletes including trail and ultramarathon runners through Loughborough Sport’s commercial testing service. Her work in elite sporting environments over several years has given her a deep understanding of high-performance demands and athlete behaviours.
