Ep74: What AI Can't See - The Human Side of Run Coaching, w/Coach Michelle Quirk of Mindful Marathon

AI-powered running apps and training plans are everywhere right now. With just a few clicks, you can enter your race goal, availability, and recent paces, and instantly get a training plan. It’s fast, inexpensive, and tempting. But in this solo episode, Coach Michelle shares why writing a training plan is actually the easiest part of her job, and why AI, no matter how advanced, can’t replace the human side of run coaching. In this episode, we explore: What AI-based training plans can and cannot do Why real coaching happens between the workouts, not just on the spreadsheet How life stress, illness, poor sleep, and emotional load affect training and why those signals are easy to miss with AI The injury and burnout risks of aggressive, context-blind progression Why accountability, empathy, and real-time feedback matter more than ever What a coach actually does beyond writing a plan This episode is about understanding the limits of algorithms and the irreplaceable value of human connection, judgment, and support in long-term, sustainable running. Reflection question for listeners: What’s the ONE thing a coach has done for you that AI never could?
