Hi @DisneyParrothead I think @Kerry1957 gave you excellent feedback. I would second the advice. As someone who had to "fire" a running coach a year ago, I can relate. And this was an "in person" coach (not a virtual stranger) who I see at our local running store from time to time so I really had to keep it civil and respectful. I didn't want things to be awkward or tense. I kept the focus on different training outcomes and communication styles ---without focusing on anything personal. I also made sure my bill was paid in full and then we "broke up" and it was smooth sailing after that! I signed up with a different coach a week later who understood my needs and style and it has been SO much better. I think it's so important to have the right fit and connection with your coach.Be thankful and let your coach know you have made your decision. Try not to get into a discussion/argument of the relative value of a coach vs. Galloway vs. on your own. Pretty much everyone dislikes potential confrontation so your discomfort is normal.
Best wishes as you move on to the next coaching chapter!
