Opportunities & Challenges in Run Coaching with UESCA Founder Rick Prince
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
On this episode of the Runner Rising podcast, I interview Rick Prince, the founder of UESCA, one of the leading endurance coach certification platforms.
Rick’s job is to know what is going on in the running space, so you won’t want to miss this interview!
We discuss:
- How a specialization can help run coaches stand out
- How Rick anticipates AI changing things for run coaches
- Rick’s story of building UESCA and reality vs. expectation when it comes to income
- Some of the opportunities for run coaches right now
- Some of the challenges run coaches are facing right now
- For established coaches who are so swamped working in their business that they don’t have time to grow it - when should you hire others (assistant coach, VA, coach, etc) to help you grow your business? And don't make this mistake when paying them!
I am excited to share that I’ve been asked to join UESCA as a recommended Coach Mentor. I will also be speaking on the December webinar for UESCA certified coaches and the Runner Rising Academy and my business coaching will be recommended to UESCA coaches.
