Air Aware Labs got featured in TrainingPeaks
August 4, 2026
Drawing on his PhD research at Imperial College London, Will breaks down the "dose equation" behind exposure — pollution concentration × breathing rate × time — and why a runner's fast, deep breathing during hard efforts can pull in surprisingly high amounts of pollution, even on a short session. He walks through what the research says about performance (from 5K times to marathon finishes), what the AirTrack Score actually measures, and simple ways to plan around air quality without changing the purpose of a workout: check before you schedule, protect key sessions, and think in doses rather than a single AQI number.
It's a practical read for anyone training outdoors who wants to make smarter, not more anxious, decisions about when and where to move.
