Dr. Bill Evans On What Supplements ACTUALLY Work, Why Scientifically Anyone Can Become An Olympian, And Other Phenomena Of Sports Science

There’s evidence-based training, and then there’s actually understanding the evidence. 

Dr. Bill Evans is here to explain how exercise physiology, 80–20 training, and smart periodization translates into real performance gains for runners at every level.

Dr. Evans has his PhD in Exercise Physiology and is an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science. He has experience as a Senior Scientist/Consultant at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. 

He also serves as an Assistant Cross Country Coach at the collegiate level with Elon University, giving him practical coaching experience with competitive runners. 

Dr. Evans is the founder/co-lead coach of The Endurance Lab, a personalized running coaching service focused on evidence-based training tailored to individual goals. His lab also integrates strength training and injury-prevention work into the mix to really give athletes a full-spectrum model.

Dr. Evans never competed at the collegiate level because of a back injury, but has an impressive portfolio nonetheless: he owns PRs of 1:57 in the 800m, 3:58 in the 1500m, and 15:21 in the 5,000m.  He also recently ran a 2:37 marathon.

From the lab to the track to the marathon start line, Dr. Bill Evans lives the science he teaches. His insights will change how you think about training, and how you train going forward.
