Episode 28: Coaching Dynamics & Complexities of Running with Coach Elisabeth from Running Explained
What’s up runners?!? I have been a guest on the Running Explained podcast a few times and it makes me so happy to finally host Coach Elizabeth on the pod today!
Elisabeth started Running Explained with the mission to help runners of all experiences and abilities become students of the sport and understand the how, what, and why of running! Although active in sports growing up (including swimming, cross-country, and downhill skiing), running just to run was never on her mind! After a long stretch of inactivity through college and her late twenties, Elisabeth picked up running at the age of 29 after getting sober and set the goal of running a local 5k... just to "get in shape!" Within 6 months, she had run a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon, finishing her first half in 1:56 and her first full in 4:05. This "crash course" in running (including learning a lot about what not to do) fueled the inspiration for the work she does today. She has since run 6 marathons, multiple 5k, 10k, and half marathon races, and her current PRs include a 20:07 5k, 1:36 half marathon, and 3:31 marathon (BQ).
Elisabeth's training philosophy emphasizes the importance of developing a strong aerobic capacity, creating training habits that encourage consistency, whole-athlete development, and helping runners enjoy what they're doing and making running fit into their life... not the other way around!
