Agree. I have a close enough relationship with my coach she’ll provide whatever level of discussion about workouts or races or the plan I want if I ask or if she feels it’s critical she gets answers out of me about a race. Question one after every race is almost always “how’d that go?” Or “how’d that’d feel?” And then she might get into power numbers or something. It all depends on the race of course. If it’s a race I’m not really racing it won’t be critical.
Honestly, for me that communication is key. The most frequent question I get is “how’d that feel?” And most often that’s after a workout that’s hard so she wants to sort out if what the workout data says matches my perception and feeling. It’s like the question at the end of the TR workouts. She’s using that to potentially tweak my future workouts.
