Simon Cook is a Human Geographer and Senior Lecturer in Academic Support at Birmingham City University. He is also based in the Department of Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London where he is writing his PhD.

Currently he is exploring the practice of running and his doctoral research explores the emergence and potential of run-commuting as an urban mode of mobility.
