Everyone can benefit from partnering with a running coach. And yet, many people believe they either don’t need a coach, or don’t deserve to work with one. 


Today, Coach Sara discusses the top questions to ask when considering up-leveling your training and partnering with a coach. Hear about Sara’s experiences in working with her coach, Nell Rojas - and the positive outcomes of having someone in your corner for your goals!


Key considerations for hiring a coach, include:

  • The coaches' experience and ‘niche’ 

  • Approach and style of coaching that you need as an athlete

  • Communication style and personality of both coach and athlete

  • Running experience and relatability


  • Whether you are currently working with a run coach or not, this episode will help you gain clarity on the pros, cons, and truths of hiring a coach for your running goals.
