Welcome to the New Levels Coaching Podcast. As coaches we want to share our knowledge and expertise with the running, triathlon and endurance sports community. Each week, our host Lewis Moses, former Team GB International Athlete turned Coach, will be joined by a special guest and together they will aim to educate and inspire our audience to help them find their own potential. We want people to listen, engage, take the best bits and LITERALLY RUN WITH THEM! Episode 6 - The Importance of Rest & Recovery with Dr Matt Long In this weeks episode Lewis is joined by Dr Matt Long. Matt is a brilliant coach, he is also a coach development tutor and we are delighted to have him as part of the coaching team at NLC. Matt brings his sociology expertise to the discussion around rest and recovery and pairs this knowledge with his coaching expertise to discuss the importance of rest & recovery, but also looks at why we might find taking a rest quite difficult. Lewis and Matt pick out specific examples from athletes they have trained with or coached and they touch on their own experiences in the sport, to provide lots of useful tips and guidance for our listeners. We hope you enjoy the episode, be sure to leave us any feedback as we would love to hear from our amazing community and don't forget to like, share and subscribe to the New Levels Coaching Podcast.
