The Importance of Recovery and Sleep - Interview with Simon Ward
The Restless Midlifer : Episode 109
It’s episode 109. This week I am delighted to be joined by Simon Ward, who some of you longer term listeners will know appeared early on in the podcast when it was called 'The Sprout Sweater' (check out episode 8). Simon has recently qualified as a sleep coach and we explore that and the importance of deep recovery. This was a phrase that captured my attention as I am in between crossfit competition and marathon and have been feeling the tiredness. Simon as always shares some great insights and takeaways in his down-to-earth relatable way.
Simon Ward is the owner and founder of High Performance Human.
Since 1995, Simon Ward has been a noteworthy coach in the triathlon field. He has been honoured 6 times by UK 220 magazine as Coach of the Year. He currently resides in West Yorkshire. Simon has more recently been focussing his attention on guiding athletes and leaders to becoming high performing humans. He recognizes the key roles which sleep, nutrition, and other holistic factors play in our lives.
Simon doesn’t just talk the talk; he walks the walk. He’s been participating in triathlon since 1987, having completed 19 Iron distance triathlons, including the IM World Championships in Kona and the iconic Norseman triathlon. He completed Marathon des Sables twice. He was also part of a successful English Channel relay team, setting the fastest time for the year.
When Simon isn’t coaching other athletes, he can be found on his High Performance Human podcast, sharing experience and wisdom from others and giving listeners the ability to optimize their own lives.
