At least that’s what my running club (EA affiliated) takes it to mean. Anything more would require the CiRF qualification I think.

On the one hand, technically a LiRF is not meant to coach - but they can deliver sessions planned by a coach. That said, EA recognise that 'a piece of paper does not a good coach make'. They were relatively relaxed about clubs choosing their coaches and encouraging them through the development EA offer as they go.
