We intended to cover a very different topic than we actually covered, but we were on a roll and couldn't stop talking about processing feedback from clients and on social media. As coaches, we always welcome feedback from clients and want to continually improve, but it can be hard to process brutally honest feedback. Kelly and JK explore this today and the complexity of social media posts.

~ 11:30 Updates from Kelly - ultra training

~ 22:00 How we train ourselves vs our athletes

~ 30:30 Feedback from clients

~ 51:25 Being coachable vs knowing how to maximize the coaching experience

~ 1:05:00 Should social media posts be all inclusive?

~ 1:21:30 The gender data gap (Up to Speed and Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men)

~ 1:35:00 The history of "Don't mess with Texas"

Enjoy!

It's hard to capture everything covered in an almost TWO HOUR episode, but here are some highlights:

Kelly’s upcoming ultras

JK’s recent travel 

Upcoming birthdays (we’re both Virgos!)

The meat and potatoes: a question from Mom! How do we approach coaching athletes who are not like us?

We're back for another episode! We're switching up our release schedule so that these come out the week we record (hence why you get 2 episodes in a row this week!).

This week, the bulk of our convo hashes out a recent deload study (linked below) and our thoughts and feelings about controversial social media content, namely stitching someone else's content.

Enjoy!

This week on episode 2, we dive into life updates (Kelly's runner's knee, JK's life in maintenance), psychological thrillers before bed, warming up for running and strength (~36:00), how we approach reading articles, listening to your body (~1:00:00), and upcoming content on our other podcasts!
