#104 "Coaching Starts Once the Training Plan Is Sent Out!" - Shreyas Karnad, Head Coach @Runner's360

<p>Shreyas Karnad is a running coach. He was one of the first guests on the podcast. In the 3rd episode of this podcast, he shared his endurance and weight-loss&nbsp;journey of going from 120kgs to 60kgs and from 5 hours to sub 3 hour marathon. That is quite an inspiring journey. If you have not watched or listened to that episode, I highly recommend it.</p> <p>In this episode we talked more about his coaching philosophy which is much more than making a training plan. He says that coaching starts once the training plan is sent out. We went on to talk more about various aspects of training and coaching for endurance sports. I thoroughly&nbsp;enjoyed this chat. I hope you do too.</p> <p>0:00:00 &nbsp;Intro</p> <p>0:04:15 &nbsp;The start of his running and coaching journeys</p> <p>0:08:05 &nbsp;What makes a good coach?</p> <p>0:11:40 &nbsp;What do trainees need most help with, why and how he got into coaching, Ishavidya workshop, taking sabbatical, family support</p> <p>0:22:55 &nbsp;Are there more coaches than trainees or are we short of coaches</p> <p>0:26:15 &nbsp;What coaches offer beyond a training plan, coaching starts where the training plan ends</p> <p>0:32:40 &nbsp;Dealing with motivation lows and highs, everyone has a story, controlling the controllables</p> <p>0:44:15 &nbsp;The mental aspects of training and coaching, starting with the WHY, Climbing Meru story, love for the sport is primary,</p> <p>0:56:50 &nbsp;what is the minimum&nbsp;you can do when you are busy, the need for taking a break, the fear of losing the fitness, keeping things sustainable</p> <p>1:09:50 &nbsp;Preparation, should we push through bad days or should we hold back?
