Advertise on podcast: Runner Rising with Nicole Dobransky

If you want to find runners who want you as their coach on Instagram, this discussion is for you. My recent trip to Chicago for the marathon as well as a new interest in Hyrox provide prime examples of why its so important for coaches to specialize and to be very clear on where their ideal athlete is at in their running journey. I also explain the most important Instagram stat that you need to be looking for so that you know what is working and what isn't.

On this episode of the Runner Rising podcast, I have a candid discussion with founder of Relentless Runners and full time run coach Christine Nichols (@chrissy.nich.runs on Instagram). You'll learn how Christine got started, how her run coaching business has evolved and changed over the years, and her social media strategy that keeps her business fully booked and has helped her grow a paid running community as well. But most importantly, you'll be inspired by Christine's "never settle" mentality and her ability to keep setting bigger and bigger goals with her run coaching business, even as a mom of 3. You don't want to miss this one! Connect with Christine at @chrissy.nich.runs and @relentlessrunners on instagram or www.relentlessrunners.com .
