Today I’m excited to welcome Lynsey Romano – Founder & Head Coach of Skyline Run Coaching – back to the show.
We decided to tackle a topic that doesn’t get discussed nearly enough but is often pivotal in a runner and coach’s journey…changing running coaches.
For many runners, the bond with their coach is deeply personal. It’s built on trust, shared goals, and sometimes years of hard work. But what happens when that relationship no longer serves one or both parties? Changing coaches can feel like breaking up in terms of its emotions and potential awkwardness, but it can also be a normal, sometimes necessary step in an athlete’s growth and development.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the layers of this sensitive topic. Why does switching coaches feel so taboo? How can runners approach this decision with confidence and respect? What if the coach is the one who wants to initiate the move? Is it possible to navigate these conversations with grace so that nobody’s feelings get hurt? Let’s break the stigma and shed some light on what should ultimately be a step toward future athletic success.
