Claire and Maggie explore how personal trainers can coach runners more effectively, whether they're complete beginners or chasing a new PB. You'll hear practical frameworks for building a runner from the ground up (progressions, run–walk intervals, technique cues, and effort-based pacing), plus how to layer in energy-system work, hills/sprints, and strength training without compromising run quality. They also dig into long-distance prep, including time on feet, fuelling, hydration and tapering.  Whether you regularly coach runners, are adjusting to a new goal from an existing client or are preparing for a new client, this conversation highlights the power of personalised coaching and the small changes that can make a big difference.
