Meet the Team

Hannah completed a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Birmingham in 2021 and graduated from her MSc in Physiology and Nutrition of Sport and Exercise at Loughborough University in 2023. Alongside her part-time MSc, Hannah completed a 2-year placement with us, leading the provision of Physiology support to Loughborough Triathlon Performance Centre. Hannah has since joined our staff team and now supports Loughborough Swimming's Performance Programme alongside working with our commercial service. The experience Hannah has developed whilst at Loughborough covers a wide scope of athlete performance levels, ranging from lab to field-based testing and monitoring, in addition to supporting athletes preparing for performance in extreme environments. Alongside her role, Hannah is also completing a Professional Doctorate qualification, researching the area of altitude training and elite endurance performance.

Building upon my BSc in Sport, Exercise and Health Science from the University of Birmingham, I have further developed my expertise through the MSc in Physiology and Nutrition of Sport and Exercise at Loughborough University. Alongside my final-year Master’s studies, my primary focus is serving as Lead Physiologist for the Loughborough Triathlon Performance team, drawing on over three years of experience supporting elite athletes across both Loughborough Sport and the University of Birmingham Sport performance triathlon programmes. In addition to this role, I work commercially for Loughborough Sport, providing physiology and training programming support across a wide range of sports, performance levels, and environmental conditions. This background has equipped me with a comprehensive skill set to drive performance improvements and contribute meaningfully to athlete success. With over ten years of experience as a competitive long-distance runner, I bring a unique perspective that integrates academic knowledge, applied practice, and firsthand competitive insight.
