A big part of why runners use a coach is accountability. There’s someone checking in on you each week to see how your sessions went, asking you if you did all your runs and looking at your stats. So, when your alarm goes off and you think about pulling the duvet over your head instead of pulling on your running shoes, you know you’ll have to account for that decision later in the week. Your coach will want to know why.
