Science of Sport: Jason Karp Receives Ph.D.

Bloomington, IN - Jason Karp of RunCoachJason.com and director and coach of REVO2LT Running Team, successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on September 24th at Indiana University to earn his Ph.D. in exercise physiology. "After seven years, I'm very relieved and thrilled," said the newly-minted Dr. Karp, whose dissertation examined the entrainment of breathing to stride rate in highly-trained distance runners. "It may take a while for this reality to set in. As my twin brother tells me, now I'm a Phony Doctor for the rest of my life. I wouldn't want it any other way."
