I think my iron levels are good, but long distane runners/endurance athletes tend to have low levels, so my coach suggested we take a supplement.

I've been tested for low iron multiple times - which tells me that although the numbers haven't given them concern, they must obviously suspect I am low or else they wouldn't keep taking my blood and checking it.
