7: Individualized science & equipment with Jesse Frank

The Science of Performance with Dan Feeney

Jesse Frank did his masters & undergrad at CU Boulder with Roger Kram where he did a variety of projects from trying to build a mobile, gravity reducing cart, to studying how various bike seats affect cycling comfort, and was a coauthor on the Nike 4% study. Over the previous 5 years, Jesse worked at Specialized where he had experience in the wind tunnel, studying how different bike fits could impact athlete performance. Jesse is also a 2:29 marathoner, triathlete, and - fun fact - officiated my wedding.
