277. Chris McClung | Why Every Runner Deserves Good Coaching — Inside "Running the Rogue Way"
Q: Can you expand on the idea of too many A races and not enough C races?
C races are opportunities to experiment without pressure, helping runners practice their skills so they can better prepare for important A races.
277. Chris McClung | Why Every Runner Deserves Good Coaching — Inside "Running the Rogue Way"
Q: What do you think most runners overlook about the mental side of performance until it's too late?
Runners often neglect the importance of mental training, assuming it is secondary to physical preparation when, in fact, it is just as crucial for overcoming challenges during races.
277. Chris McClung | Why Every Runner Deserves Good Coaching — Inside "Running the Rogue Way"
Q: Was there anything else that you wanted to say about the tension regarding jogging vs. running?
The tension lies in how the terms have been historically defined and how they may unintentionally gatekeep non-elite runners from feeling included as part of the running community.
277. Chris McClung | Why Every Runner Deserves Good Coaching — Inside "Running the Rogue Way"
Q: What finally pushed you to write this book, and why did you think a book was the right medium for this message?
