#54 Powerful Attributes of an Effective Coach
In this episode, Sally sits down with her friends, Billy Yang and Jason Koop! Sally has been fortunate enough to call Jason her coach this past year & she thought it was fitting to sit down with him to chat about all things coaching.
Jason is the head coach of CTS Ultrarunning with 20+ years of coaching experience. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the science of running and programming, but in this episode, Sally draws out the character, personality and passion, that is behind "Coach Koop".
You will be encouraged as you hear how Jason got started in coaching, his background, the emphasis that he places on relationships when coaching and insights of how he approaches each athlete, uniquely, when programing their training plan.

#53 Eddie Runs a Marathon
In this episode we recap the BUSY marathon weekend from bib pick-up at the LA Marathon expo, Isaiah's 16th birthday party, Makenzie's late night race at Sound Running and the play by play of Eddie's marathon debut!
Also, listen in as Sally shares how we all interact with pain differently and how important it is to not give it attention. She also shares how we have the freedom/choice to determine our race goals and the amazing things we can accomplish when we choose to push through discomfort.

Customer Reviews
26.2 marathon with 35 lb pack!
Wow, as I head into the ToughRuck 2024 tomorrow in Boston, I’m so grateful to have had you with me during this training block!! This is my first official marathon and I’ll be doing it with a 35+ pound pack in honor of the families of fallen military, police and first responders. You’ve been with me on my runs and rucks since January and have been so amazing and inspirational.
From Sally’s Grand Slam victory to Eddie’s first marathon, your positive energy, love and faith have helped me through countless hours and miles. Many blessings to you and your family and thanks for being so awesome!!! Here’s to many more miles together ❤️ #choosestrong #dothework #eddierunsamarathon
Mental game
Thank you for both episodes. You are awesome sally 🩷
Favorite listen
By far my favorite listen each week! Eddie, Sally, and guests have such a great dynamic and truly enjoy each others' company and conversation. Just this month I completed my first 100 miler (bootlegger 100). I was physically prepared but even more mentally prepared, thanks to several episodes of this podcast. As I sat with my crew in the later miles of the race I physically didn't want to go anymore but I knew that I had 2 choices at that moment. 1) choose to quit because that was the easy and more comfortable thing to do; or 2) choose strong, stand up and just keep moving towards that finish because this moment of pain wasn't going last forever but the regret of quitting would.
PS...I don't have IG.
My coffee order is a Redeye w/ an extra shot!
