This has been an interesting discussion. Thank you to all participants. I have two questions, though. How does a coach differ from a trainer, and how does one find a coach? Thank you.

It may be mostly semantics, but I think a trainer is a person who is out there with you, standing over you, and shouting "give me 100 more!", etc. Originally Posted by MaTadams

My trainer only works with me on developing strength and power. We do weights and plyometrics and yeah, she's right there.
I think a coach is more about developing a long term training plan. Although my trainer does know when my events are and adjusts what we do at each session accordingly.

Well, recommendations from current clients is a great place to start. If you like what any of us have said about our coaches, why not ask for contact info and start there? Originally Posted by MaTadams

this has indeed been a really good discussion. I'm contemplating getting a coach as well, mainly for training plan purposes so I don't injure myself and/or for the ability to have more balanced workouts. This year for me has been the year of the Duathlon so biking/running hasn't been an issue, but I'm about to start training for a Half-Marathon and I don't want to give up biking or my crossfit-ish gym time so I'm going to have to find some balance in my workout schedule. Next year will be even tougher because I'll be adding swimming into the mix.
So you folks who have good coaches or are a coach, I'd like contact info. Feel free to PM me.
