🎙️ Episode 53, New Levels Coaching Podcast W/ Matt Long
In this episode, Lewis Moses is joined by long-time NLC coach Matt Long for a deep dive into one of the most talked-about topics in endurance training: durability.
Known as the "Ant & Dec" of the running world at track nights, Lewis and Matt reunite to unpack what durability really means—especially in the context of marathon and long-distance performance. Is it about longevity in the sport? Is it specific to event-based resilience? And how can coaches and athletes apply the latest science to build better training strategies?
Matt breaks down the findings of recent research (including a study Lewis participated in at Loughborough University), and together they discuss:
- Key takeaways from the current literature on durability
- Practical coaching methods to build robustness in endurance athletes
- The role of energy systems and training adaptation
- How to prepare smarter for your next big challenge
Whether you're a coach, a marathoner, or simply curious about what makes endurance athletes tick, this episode is packed with insights you can run with.
