147. Building a Running Coaching Business with Karina Ripps

Have you ever thought about becoming a running coach? Or wondered if hiring one could help you reach your goals? In today’s episode, I sit down with Karina Ripps, who is a certified run coach, personal trainer, and nutritionist who helps runners train smarter, not longer. She also mentors coaches looking to build and scale their own businesses.

Her team covers every aspect of a runner’s performance—strength, fueling, recovery, mental performance, and, of course, running—to help them hit any goal they set for themselves, leaving no stone unturned.

Beyond coaching runners, Karina mentors run coaches on building and scaling their own businesses. After growing her own company into a thriving six-figure business, she’s passionate about helping others create the same level of success.
