In a world where it feels like everyone is suddenly a running coach…how do you know who to trust? Mallory sits down with NYC-based running coach Kara Dudley, founder of Rerouted Running, to talk about what actually makes a good coach and what doesn’t. We get into the controversial side of coaching: AI training plans vs real coaches, whether running a fast marathon makes someone qualified to coach, and why you should (or shouldn’t) take nutrition advice from a coach instead of a registered dietitian. If you’ve ever questioned who to trust with your training, this conversation is for you.
