## What run coaches hand Luca

A run coach hears from athletes at every hour: a race-week question, a pace check, a new runner asking what a plan costs. Luca answers in the coach's voice, sorts the athletes from the leads, and books the intake call when someone is ready to start. The coach approves each reply from one queue. These are the coaches who stopped answering by hand.
