There was a lengthy thread here around the Central Governor theory that Noakes promotes and Dr. Noakes (or someone doing a very good impersonation) was in the thread. In the thread, Dr. Noakes admits there's no practical way of validating his theories so it remains speculation on his part. From what I read in it, it seems he was more interested in dissembling the Hill theory (fatigue due to fuel exhaustion) than anything else. He seemed bent on making Hill the strawman of running physiological theory.

Noakes' research is very comprehensive. Hill largely ignored the issue of neuromuscular coordination, even though it had been know about for many decades by the time Hill gained his fame.
