Sure, I have a learning curve of run sessions. After athletes are comfortable with RPE the sessions have a bit less detail. I deliberately try to teach my athletes how to tune into their own bodies, and have found big picture is better than specifics: e.g. run "like Kipchoge."

18 pieces of coursework, 9 timed tests and a final exam later... really happy to have completed my Professional Diploma in Strength and Conditioning @BarcaInnoHub. It was much harder than expected (so much reading!) but absolutely worth the 9 months' work!
