This special 300th episode of the For The Long Run podcast is with coaching extraordinaire, and one half of the Some Work All Play (SWAP) power couple, David Roche. As well as being Jon’s coach of over 2000 days, David is the husband to SWAP co-coach Megan, dad to Leo, and an accomplished athlete himself. On and off the trails, David can be found helping others, spreading joy, and making the world a better place in all that he does.

In this episode we talk about:

-honesty in coaching and athlete relationships
