Does AI coaching cause more injuries? (www.runningsucks101.com)

Good counter argument, runners get injured anyways no matter what system or coaching they use 😢

Agreed. People have been getting bad training advice on the internet long before LLMs

Tons of reasons to hate on LLMs, but this is probably pretty minor

Maybe there's a correlation based on the types of runners who turn to free/affordable AI training plans versus paying for a coach.

I have gotten mild injury from running and I definitely think there's a lot more chance that people get injured my following an AI plan that having a coach.

A proper coach will make sure you're not getting injured first before ramping up intensity. An AI will have a tough time conveying the importance of not running through pain. Running through pain is probably the number one cause of injuries.
