As a coach, Hudson is always studying training and learning from as many different systems as possible. The one thing that stands out from both his personal running and coaching experience is just how very individual the sport is. While there are many ways to get results, it is the job of both the athlete and coach to work together to find the way best suited to each particular athlete. The coaching philosophy draws from a number of different methodologies.
