PROFESSOR GREG WHYTE
Former modern pentathlon Olympian professor Greg Whyte is a pre-eminent authority on exercise physiology and sports and exercise performance in the UK. But he's probably best known for training, motivating and successfully coaching 23 Sport & Comic Relief challenges.

Accordingly, progressive overload – continually increasing training volume – is important to ensure performance improvement.
