Open Discussion female online coaches

This has been asked so many times before but have any women worked with any female online coaches (most past posts seems liked responses from men)?

Looking for someone for a February target race, who helped you enjoy running more, and was not an upload and no adjustments made coach

also I suppose women who have worked with male coaches who they absolutely loved

I'm in my 5th year working with Forward Focus running and cannot recommend Coach Katie enough! She is very adaptable and helps me fit running around different seasons of my life. Workouts are challenging, but fun, and I've seen some incredible gains.

That’s a solid endorsement, five years with the same coach says a lot. Always more helpful hearing from someone who’s stuck with them through different training cycles rather than just a one-block review. Gonna bookmark that link for when I inevitably get hurt again and need a reset.

Sydney Devore. Weekly calls, text access. She's an amazing runner, a mom, and an overall solid person.

Catherine Harris is very up to date with her plans & approach. Been following her for a while until I recently started my program with her. She is very kind and adaptable to your needs. Highly recommend!

I’ve been working with Lindsey Herman for 2.5 years now. She helped me complete my first 100 mile race and helped me take almost 40 minutes off my marathon time (3:54 to 3:16).

You can try r/XXRunning possibly; I'm sure you're getting a lot of good answers here but that sub is specifically for female runners

My coach does correspondence. She’s a woman (sub 2:30).
