Molly Seidel and Jon Green hashed out their grand plan over several cups of coffee.
Not long after she left her Boston-based training group in late 2019, Seidel heard from Green, a friend and former training partner, who wanted to know if she needed help planning her workouts. As someone who was trying to keep his own professional running career alive, Green was familiar with the challenges of striking out on your own.
So they met one afternoon at a coffee shop, where Green spent nearly three hours asking Seidel about her goals and studying her training logs.
