Marathon Handbook Podcast

Courtney Dauwalter Is Back! And, Do You Need a Running Coach?

Marathon Handbook

Our editors Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle discuss the ultra GOAT Courtney Dauwalter's return to the Hard Rock 100, one of the toughest races in the world. Katelyn explains why Dauwalter has emerged as one of the greatest distance athletes of all time, and puts her performances in context. 

Then, they talk about Alex's foray into the world of indie brands launching shoes, including Rabbit, Tracksmith and Mount to Coast. Are these shoes any good?

Finally, they have a roundtable chat about when you should consider getting a running coach, how to select the right coach for you, what it should cost you, and even how to break up with a coach if it's not working out.

Hosts: Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci, Michael Doyle

We provide free and super popular coach-vetted training plans for just about every distance and ability level, from your first 5K to a sub-3 hour marathon, to a 100-miler training plan. We've got you covered. We also follow the latest news and storylines in the running world, and review all the best shoes, running watches and gear on our site and our Youtube channel.

At our heart, we are runners and athletes ourselves – every person on our team is a running coach, distance runner, or certified health and fitness trainer.
