In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast we talk about the following: Can AI-powered apps like Runna replace a human coach, or are they just another tool in a runner’s arsenal? In this episode, we break down AI coaching—how it works, its strengths, and its limitations. We discuss AI’s ability to analyze data and personalize plans, but also where it falls short—lacking human connection, adaptability, and emotional support.
We weigh the benefits of AI’s affordability, 24/7 availability, and data-driven insights against the irreplaceable mentorship of a real coach. Plus, we explore ethical concerns like data privacy and the risks of overtraining. Ultimately, is AI coaching the future, or is a hybrid approach the best path forward? Tune in to find out!
