Michelle Boland on Lessons Learned in Running and Coaching

52 minutes

If you work with gen pop clients or runners that are struggling with nagging aches and pains, then this episode is a must-listen.

Dr. Michelle Boland is a certified strength and conditioning coach with distinction and owner of Michelle Boland Training, LLC.

Michelle was previously the Director of Education at a private training facility and has several years experience as a Strength and Conditioning Coach for a D1 collegiate institution.

Michelle specializes in movement biomechanics, athletic development, and improving fitness while addressing nagging pain or injuries that may be limiting performance.

And in this episode, I think there’s some great discussion about how to help these clients the most when it comes to writing their programs and training them in the gym.

When they walk in – BOOM! – they should feel like a part of the community. – Michelle Boland

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:

A little bit about Michelle and what she’s been up to since the last time she was on the show.

Michelle tries to help me understand her passion for running (which I tend to loathe)

The biggest gaps she sees when training runners, and how we can address those in the weight room.

Why focusing on foot contacts is such a critical piece of the puzzle for runners.

Michelle’s thoughts on moving from coach to client after working with Dan Sanzo.

Why EVERY COACH should put themselves in an environment where they are being coached.

The biggest lessons Michelle has learned training gen pop clients.

What she wishes she knew when she was training clients 5-10 years ago.

Thinking forward, how Michelle wants to grow and evolve over the next 5-10 years.

Thoughts on her “Can You See the Difference” IG posts, and why they’re so helpful to both coaches and clients alike.

A really fun lightning round where we talk about Coach Mike Boyle, favorite runs of 2023, and running goals for 2024.
