310. Lynsey Romano | Good Coach vs. Nice Coach: When to Push Back
Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text What does it really mean to be a good coach? Is it the same thing as being a nice coach? In this episode, Lynsey Romano and I dig into the sometimes uncomfortable reality of coaching: that doing what’s best for an athlete doesn’t always mean telling them what they want to hear.

306. Jeff Cunningham | Slay the Dragons & Run Strong in the Final 10K of Your Marathon (re-run)
Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text Pacing a marathon is simple in theory but brutally hard in practice. Go out too fast, and the fire-breathing dragons will find you in the final 10K. Go out too cautiously, and you’ll spend the last miles wondering if you left time on the table. In this episode (originally aired September 16, 2025, episode 256), I’m joined by Jeff Cunningham — a lifelong runner, NCAA Academic All-American, and coach of countless Boston Marathon qualifiers an...
