In episode 48 of Lifting, Running, and Living, coaches Kelly and JK start off with discussing their current training updates. 

Kelly shares insights on her experience with the 5 3 1 Wendler strength training program and the challenges she faced, while JK talks about balancing personal training with social media content creation. 

They dive into the main topic: the influence of a coach's own athletic performance on their coaching effectiveness. They debate common myths and misconceptions in coaching, especially in running and physique-related training. 

Both share their experiences working with clients and the importance of finding a balance between practical knowledge and performance excellence. 

They also brainstorm a reality TV show concept that matches clients with coaches blindly to test the significance of appearance and records in coaching success.
