    In this conversation, Sophie discusses various personality traits of runners, focusing on the data-obsessed, highly motivated to the anxious runner who seeks reassurance and the social runner who thrives in group settings.


    The conversation explores the challenges these runners face, such as fear of injury and fluctuating motivation, and emphasises the importance of understanding these traits for effective coaching.


    Sophie also highlights the need for balance between personal limits and social influences in running, and the significance of tailoring coaching approaches to individual personality types.
