Alongside this, Dan has a full-time position at the University of Wolverhampton within the Sport & Exercise Science department, in which he has a particular interest  in sports psychology, with a research profile centred on, amongst other topics, emotional regulation during endurance performance and psychological strategies to aid performance. Despite all of this however, the main focus of our chat today is on a non-for -profit cafe and organisation called the Oregano Project - a project designed to provide employment opportunities and support for refugee runners and locals struggling to hold down positions that Dan is at the heart of alongside Lucie Tait-Harris, an accomplished runner in her own right
