Do ultramarathoners have coaches?

buump! i know someone here has some insight...

Don't know specifics about Jim & Hayden, but David & Megan Roche coach a bunch of elite ultra runners.

No. Top ultra runners dont have coaches, they are in a uncharted territory and are on their own.

Yeah the top level guys don’t. Walmsley, Francois, And Kilian no way. Only the guys that never win and always have “stomach issues” . Ask coach Koop why his runners suck at UTMB. Can’t figure out the food thing yet? And all the women that suck have coaches. The real female runners like Dauwalter don’t need babysitters/ overpaid gym instructors.

Adam Peterman also self coached

David Roche is so happy and upbeat it’s cringy

seems like a great guy and coach tho

An ultramarathoner lives and breathes FREEDOM and MANHOOD and will take no dirty lip from some so-called-coach, especially a female coach and as an ultramarathoner strides forth into the great peaks and valleys of the majesty mindscape of wonderment, a tailwind develops and brings his identity into deity and the warm flood of Godhood becomes him.

Hayden is coached by Robbie Britton. I don't think Jim has a coach.

Yes, they have coaches. Sharman Ultra coaches some pros as do the Roches as already mentioned

What's there to coach? There aren't really any sessions ... just do hills and long runs along with easy runs. I mean I'd be happy for someone to pay me for this advice.

I remember Jamil Coury mentioning he has a coach.

Though he's not exactly an 'elite' in terms of putting up GOAT times. Still probably one of the few ultra"runners" I respect.

READ MY LIPS you dirty dog. A coach is no better than a cockroach. Stay out of my way coach, you are not in need in this vicinity.

They are always running, so coaches can't keep up with them.

next person who tells me I need a training plan gets their throat cut

brah, take a chill pill, brah, or I'll down vote you, brah

thank u brah
