Women's Sleep | Sarah Gilchrist | Ep. 31

Sarah sat down with sleep expert & exercise physiologist Dr Sarah Gilchrist to discuss her new book "The Essential Guide to Women's Sleep" exploring women’s sleep across the life cycle, from adolescence to perimenopause, and how simple, pragmatic changes can transform daily energy, recovery & wellbeing. 

Sarah is a sleep and performance specialist who has been working in high performance sport since 1999. She saw a growing need for more resources around women's sleep and has written this excellent book described as: 

"..the perfect guide to navigate the complex and often overlooked relationship between women and sleep."

Dan is now 9.5 months post ACL reconstruction and is entering the final phase of his rehabilitation in preparation for a phased return to football training in the next 4-6 weeks.

His pitch session today was planned and delivered by our University of Bath placement student Chelsea Lewis. The focus was on:

▫️Acceleration/decelerations
▫️Curved and more extensive running
▫️Change of direction with passing drills
▫️Smoother running mechanics

This was his first rehab session of the week so we managed the volume of the session ahead of a more specific strength/gym rehab session tomorrow.

Chelsea did brilliantly as did Dan who is looking smoother in his running week by week. We are grateful for our partnership with Reading University who allow us to use their pitches for sessions such as these.

New Podcast Episode.. 🎙️

Alex Voakes ambitiously signed up for the New York Marathon 15 years ago on a whim. Since then he has fallen in love with marathon and ultra marathon distances. Prior to running his first 100mile race last week he sat down with Tristan to discuss many of the lessons he has learned in the subsequent years as he works towards completion of the World Marathon Majors early next year.

This is an interview we have been looking forward to for several months and is an inspiring listen for all long distance runners. Enjoy!
