About
Greg is an award-winning TV & Radio Science Presenter & Producer,
popular Keynote Speaker, experienced Events Host, long-time YouTuber,
and... hybrid athlete?!
If you're looking for him he'll likely be investigating the bold marketing claims
of a trending 'wonder product' for his popular BBC Radio 4 show & podcast
"Sliced Bread", or sharing consumer tips about those on BBC Morning Live.
If not, then he may be off on another science expedition to join researchers somewhere exciting in the world (he recently returned the Amazon Rainforest), or - most likely - he'll be competing in a hybrid fitness race (he's got the HYROX World Championships in the next few weeks!)
Greg has been making science content on TV, Radio, YouTube, Podcast,
& Stage for close to 20 years (gulp!):
​> from ​investigative documentaries on TV, Radio & Podcasts,
> to ambitious interactive live shows for families on YouTube,
​> to eye-catching experiments on live TV,
> and engaging keynotes & spectacular science shows

HYROX Fitness RacesIn April22 Greg discovered HYROX - a hybrid fitness race that intersperses 8 x 1km runs with 8 x workout stations... He really got into them and has now ran 18 races! In Paris in Nov 23 Greg took the top spot on the podium, finishing first in his age group, qualifying for the World Championships in Nice, France in June 24. PB Open 1:01 / PB Pro 1:08 | HYROX Mixed Doubles @ World ChampsAt the HYROX World Championships last year, Greg & his partner Katrin came 5th in their age group, making them the =8th fastest mixed pair in the World!? Two weeks later they won in New York (across all Mixed Doubles age groups) and have qualified for the World Champs in Nice, France in June 24 | Hosting Fitness CompsGreg really enjoys combining his experience of hosting all sorts of events for all sorts of audiences with his love of fitness competitions! | Other Hybrid Fitness CompsIf there's an event that requires both cardio endurance & strength - ideally some ergs (rower, ski, bike), something heavy (a sled, some kettlbells, a huge tractor tire?!), and some running, all done in an interesting venue, ideally with mates, then Greg is game. It's what he spends most of his weekends doing! [Photo is from the Conquer Level 7 event that Greg & Big Ed won last year] | Half Marathons - PB 1:25A lot of Greg's childhood was spent running all over the fells of the Lake District and beyond orienteering. He'd not tried a Half Marathon until the Cambridge Half in 2020. He subsequently did the Cambridge half again in 2021 & 2024, recently getting his PB of 1 hour 25 mins. |

Scotland Coast 2 CoastTo celebrate/commiserate turning 40 last year Greg decided to try getting from the east coast of Scotland to the west... in one day! Greg took on the epic 100 mile run, ride & kayak challenge with 3 good mates, and after a gruelling 13 hours in the sun & rain they just about made it! An incredible endurance experience and he's looking for the next one... | HYROX RelaysAt the European Champs in Vienna in Feb24 Greg teamed up with 3 other guys and won Bronze in the Men's Doubles. | Obstacle Course Racing (OCRs)Greg is no happier than when he's scrambling over obstacles, jumping into a lake, and running miles in soggy trainers (ok maybe not the cold lake bit). He's ran a few obstacle races in the past (including the epic Rat Race Dirty Weekender) and is very keen to try more this year! |
