Rachel Sinders shares her incredible journey from a casual runner to a dedicated coach, explaining how running coaching creates sustainable plans that respect each person's lifestyle while helping them achieve their goals.

• Running coaches aren't about pushing people to exhaustion but creating manageable, personalized plans
• Many runners overtrain by running too hard too often without proper recovery
• Balancing high-intensity workouts with running training requires prioritizing your primary goal
• Personal injury experiences make Rachel a more empathetic, understanding coach
• Strength training (especially single-leg exercises) is crucial for runners, even just 20-30 minutes twice weekly
• Finding consistency in strength training matters more than complex exercise routines
• Mental aspects of running are increasingly recognized as crucial for performance
• Building community among runners provides motivation and support beyond individual coaching
• Rachel's coaching philosophy emphasizes quality over quantity and long-term relationships with athletes
