  • As a #seriousrunner one way that I can make income from running -- without actually being a sponsored professional runner -- is to get into coaching. What makes me qualified to coach, you ask? Well, I've BQ'd... AND I've run sub-3 in the marathon. So yeah I know what I'm talking about.

    As a serious runner, I regularly check for new videos from Stephen, to be the first to comment. After all, I do take training more seriously than other runners.

    As a Serious Running Coach, I'll sometimes forget to comment in my athletes' spreadsheets for 3 to 4 days straight. That way they'll think, wow, my coach must be off on some important adventure and I better run harder to get his attention.

    As a serious runner, I’ve never bought that Citgo photo because I’ve never had a serious photographer take the photo! They always catch me with my feet together, looking like I’m shuffling, rather than the beautiful stride I try so hard to fake whenever approaching them. As every serious runner knows, there is a serious way to take running photos. 🎥🏃🏼‍♀️💨

    LOL, I know, the number of running coaches with not a whole lot of experience is funny. And anyway, Citgo sign pictures - you are lucky if they catch you in front. Only one year out of 6 have I had a Citgo sign pic and it was the year I failed most epicly (meaning, went out too fast, and then death marched to the finish). So I was miserable AF in front of that Citgo sign.

    Does the $100... uh... $150.... uh... $???? (whatever) A Serious Runner™ coaching fee include instructions on how to get two-toned legs? I noticed a lot of UPS runners with that look so I'm guessing you wear those longish brown shorts when you aren't training? Where do we buy those? (Possible sponsor methinks).
