How to Increase Speed and Endurance
2024/02/23
Interested in learning how to improve running speed/endurance? We’ve got you covered! In this episode, Coaches Valerie and Caroline explain how interval training, hill repeats, proper running form, and overcoming mental barriers can help runners improve their speed and endurance. Timestamps of big takeaways How to Improve Running Speed and Endurance [00:50] Interval training allows you to work the body at a higher level and then rest. Long runs help you build endurance. Coach Caroline asks how this works within the RunRX teachings? The Benefits of Varied Training for Runners - Interval training and speed workouts [01:25] Varied training like intervals is key for improvement. Intervals build strength and speed with intense effort followed by rest. Long runs alone won't make you faster. Coaches should first teach mechanics, then proper acceleration. How Do I Extend My Stride? [03:35] Running faster is about learning to use gravity by falling forward at a higher angle. This allows runners to tap into more existing speed potential in a controlled way. It also helps them do hill and interval sessions correctly to get faster without injury. Overcoming Mental and Physical Barriers [05:50] Many runners hold themselves back mentally and physically without realizing it. Understanding how to use gravity and let go enables runners to control speed on downhills versus feeling scared. Coaching for Proper Form and Movement  [08:48] Video analysis and coaching helps identify inefficient movement patterns.  Starting with short practice sessions to feel proper form is more beneficial than trying to immediately run long distances. Refining running form and movement frees runners from overcompensation and injuries. Applying Lessons to Trail Running [09:27] Two runners in their 50s learned efficient uphill and downhill form. Using hill training to improve strength and speed, they overcame previous injuries and age concerns to excel at trail running. Rebuilding Excitement and Performance [13:49] Correcting form deficiencies gives runners hope and excitement again. Achieving efficient movement for even 10 steps at a time builds confidence to continue improving.  Proper form enables runners to rebuild performance regardless of age or previous limitations. [15:45] RunRx offers customized gait analyses, coaching calls, training plans, and an online community. Our flexible membership model meets runners where they are currently at.

How to Prevent Injuries
2024/02/16
Want to know how to prevent running injuries? This is the episode for you! In it you’ll learn the RunRX top tips for preventing running injuries. We’re talking about proper warm-ups, cool-downs, gradually increasing mileage, strength training, and focusing on the 3 primary running mechanics. Timestamps of big takeaways How to Prevent Running Injuries [00:21] Coach Caroline introduces the topic of preventing running injuries, which is the #1 question runners look up on search engines. She outlines the 3 main tips: proper warm-up/cool-down, gradual mileage increase, and strength training. Importance of Proper Warm-up and Cool-down Routines [01:30] Warm-ups and cool-downs mentally and physically prepare your body for running and help prevent injuries. RunRX recommends simple 3-4 minute routines before and after runs. Remembering to Warm Up When Injured  [04:01] The irony is that people remember to warm up when injured, but often forget when healthy. Consistency regardless of whether or not you’re injured is critical to both prevent AND heal injuries! Cool Downs Help Your Body Recover [05:12] Cool downs are important to realign the body after using a lot of elasticity while running. Cool downs should include light strength training to aid recovery. Better Late Than Never for Cool Downs [08:59] Are late cool downs still beneficial? Yes! Sprinkling in mobility throughout the day may be even better than cramming it all after a run. Gradual Increase in Mileage and Intensity [11:09] You don’t wanna overdo anything! [11:45] Coach Valerie recommends focusing on movement quality rather than distance/time when coming back from injury. Slowly increase mileage by blending running, walking, drills if pain-free. Introducing The RunRx Restart Program [13:48] The new 4-week Restart program on YouTube goes back to the foundations of running mechanics, warm-ups, strength and self-care for beginners or returning from injury. Our program is all about incorporating strength training and flexibility exercises into the routine so that you can run pain free. 3 Running Mechanics [14:05] The RunRx approach simplifies running mechanics into 3 elements - pose, fall, pull. This gives runners specific cues to focus on. Proper Alignment and Posture While Running  [15:23] Proper alignment and posture while running are important. Hip lifts and glute bridges help strengthen muscles for this. Simplifying the Running Routine [17:35] Having a simple "to do" list versus just going for a run aimlessly makes running more enjoyable. Advice for Beginners and Returning Runners [18:34] The RunRX Restart program is perfect for beginners or those returning from injury who want to restart running properly. Want a taste?

Get Restarted
2024/02/09
In this episode, Coaches Caroline and Valerie dish on the contradictory running advice in magazines, introduce their 4-week RunRX Reboot for resilient running, and share tips for maintaining joy on the roads while avoiding injury. Timestamps of big takeaways The Problem with Running Magazine Advice [00:36] Running magazines often give contradictory advice, like improving your stride in one article and saying not to overthink running form in another. These are just some of the mixed messages runners receive. The Fear of Losing Running Joy [01:09] New clients often fear training will replace running joy with constant drills and exercises. She aims to enhance joy through balanced training. The Need for Consistent Baseline Exercises [02:09] Doing a consistent minimum of mobility, strength, and skill exercises helps keep the body resilient for running vs. spending hours on them.  The Risk of Overdoing It With Training [03:40] Some runners may overdo new training like yoga or reboot exercises due to their high-volume mindset. Moderation is key. Introducing the 4-Week RunRX Reboot [04:18] Coach Valerie introduces the 4-week RunRX Reboot program focused on foundation running skills. Each week builds on the last. The Focus on Efficiency Over Volume [05:31] The reboot aims to develop efficient form vs. spending extensive time on exercises. Consistency matters more than duration. Appealing to the Runner's Mindset [06:20] The reboot is structured to appeal to the runner's mindset, with attainable consistency rather than hours of exercises. Teaching 20+ Years of Running Resilience [07:59]  The key exercises in the reboot distill 20+ years of teaching running resilience. They counter reliance on shoes alone. Overview of the Reboot Launch [10:21]  Coach Caroline provides an overview of the reboot launch in early February with video, print, phone and other formats.

The Need for Speed
2024/02/02
At the risk of sounding like a Tom Cruise movie quote, if you feel the need for speed, you should rush to tune into this episode of the RunRX Podcast! Timestamps of big takeaways Speeding to the Finish Line [00:34] Coach Valerie discusses the quote about "the need for speed" that caught her attention. It highlighted the benefits of speed work beyond just VO2 max. Importance of Speed Work [01:11] The benefits of speed work for running economy, form, muscle recruitment, and communication between the brain and muscles. However, there is a misunderstanding that speed work is only for performance. Introducing Speed Through Drills [03:19] RunRX introduces speed work through short distance drills. We have runners try sprinting in place or for 3-5 strides to get the feeling of running fast without worrying about distance. Giving Yourself Permission [05:05] Coach Caroline talks about giving yourself permission to try speed work without pressure. You can experiment with "letting go" and falling during a run like driving in an empty parking lot.  Overcoming Intimidation of Speed Work [06:29] Coach Valerie talks about being intimidated by speed work as a new runner. She had no experience with tracks or stopwatches. The drills help introduce speed without that intimidation factor. Training at Your Base Speed First [08:14] Training your base with strength before speed work is important for success. The muscles, body and brain all need to be ready before sprinting or increasing volume. The drills help prepare the mind and body for the speed when it’s time to introduce it into your running regimen. Rate, Review & Subscribe Reminder Don’t forget to like and subscribe to our show.

Timestamps of big takeaways Why The RunRX Coaches Don't Race Anymore [00:45] Coach Valerie explains that as a coach, it's hard to properly train yourself while also training others. After 17 years of racing and coaching, she transitioned to just coaching so she could focus on her members. Different Types of Members [01:30] Coach Valerie explains they have members recovering from injury, currently injured, as well as those not racing who just want to run consistently. The membership accommodates all of these different needs. [03:35] Coach Caroline shares that she didn't enjoy the logistics of racing - waking up early, driving, parking, etc. The motivation to run became less about the race itself. Keeping Motivated Without Races [04:48] - Coach Valerie says they provide training plans for members whether they are injured, not racing, or just recently signed up for a race. Having a plan and community keeps you motivated. Accountability and Community [06:25] - Consistency in training is key even if you're not prepping for a race. Coach Valerie emphasizes staying "race ready" through a balance of running, strength, and skills work. Accountability to yourself and the community support helps members achieve their goals and stick with the program. How The Membership Works [06:58] - At RunRX, we meet you where you are and help you progress to your goals pain-free through proper form, strength training, etc. You don't have to be an experienced runner. [07:41] One of the biggest reasons our members stay with us is the accountability. You’re note alone in your training. Where to Find us Online [08:30] We’re on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Timestamps of big takeaways Differentiating Hard Running vs. Speed Running [00:36] There is a difference between running hard and running fast. Many runners push too much effort trying to go faster rather than improving efficiency.

This involves drills to get comfortable with new movements. Letting Yourself Fall vs. Running Hard [04:43] Coach Valerie elaborates on "letting yourself fall" vs. running hard. She explains good form allows lighter leg turnover at faster speeds. Elite Runners Make It Look Effortless [06:30] Elite runners appear relaxed even at fast speeds because they hold good form. This shows running fast does not require overly hard exertion. Improving Efficiency Leads to Faster Times [08:08] Once runners learn efficient movement patterns, they can then push for faster paces and longer distances. The tools are there to improve performance. Membership for Ongoing Coaching [09:58] Listeners can work with Coach Valerie and Coach Caroline through flexible membership options.

New Year New You
2023/12/29
Tune in and learn what's coming in the new year, and what you should leave behind! Timestamps of big takeaways Goodbye 2023 [00:22] What are some things you need to leave behind in 2023? Caroline's Lessons from Old Supplements [01:57] Coach Caroline shares that she had difficulty throwing away old unused running supplements due to feeling wasteful. But, the act of throwing things out can feel "cathartic" and symbolic You Need the Right Gear and a Routine [03:32] Maintaining a regular running routine without injury is a common challenge. Many runners at Run Rx come seeking ways to run pain-free and overcome past injuries. The idea of restarting running can seem overwhelming, but ultimately, the key is to focus on getting the right pair of shoes and gradually building up your running regimen. Proper Movement is Key [05:56] Coach Valerie emphasizes the importance of focusing on proper running movement and efficiency before pursuing speed or races Let Go of the Past [06:18] Embracing new goals and mindset for 2024 while letting go of past experiences. A positive mindset and goals when starting to work with someone in 2024 is key if you want to be a better runner. You also need to be open to coaching and new approaches. [09:21] Runners acknowledge tightness and focus on improving movement to prevent recurring injuries. The goal is to work on getting movement in feet, ankles, and addressing tightness in hips and other areas to enhance warm-ups and movement efficiency. The Immersion Course and Ongoing Membership [14:31] If you want to work with us in 2024, we recommend our 30-day immersion course before you sign up for marathons and/or pursue other running goals. The Value of Coaching and Movement Assessment [16:10] Coaching is a great way to assess how you’re currently doing with your movement, and correct your movement if you’re doing it incorrectly. Injury Prevention and Joint Mobility [18:44] Runners usually only think about running when they feel pain. It’s common to blame tightness in a particular body part when injured. But, changing movement patterns can shift how running feels and reduce injury [20:49] Our exercises and drills are a great way to learn everything you need to know about running pain free. What’s Coming in 2024 [22:37] As we close out 2023, we’re looking forward to refreshing our 30-day reboot program and doing more live recorded coaching sessions in 2024!

What is the one movement?
2023/12/22
What's the one simple movement that can transform your running form almost overnight? Tune into this episode of the RunRX Podcast and find out! Timestamps of big takeaways The One Movement Question (00:00:55 - 00:03:15) [00:25] Coach Caroline asks "what's the one exercise I should do?" [01:26] Coach Valerie says the "ball of foot hop" is the foundation of running biomechanics, but people underestimate how challenging that is Teaching One Running Action [03:15] The RunRX method focuses on teaching the "pull" action when running. It's simple but not easy - requires at least a month of dedicated practice. Trying to speed up process by doing more doesn't work [06:04] When we’re teaching the standard of movement in running, we’re trying to instill “pose, fall, pull” into you, and the pull is the only real action you have to do. Connecting our Drills to Running [07:09] No one movement can make you stronger. That’s why we teach you how to move and work with your whole body [08:18] Some people fear joining our practice because they think they won’t be running for a month. That’s not true. You’re first going to focus on relearning the right standard of movement [09:05] To transform your running form, you need to fully commit to their 28-day incremental mechanics program rather than trying to mix it with your existing running patterns which will delay results. A Mistake we See With Running Drills [11:45] Cueing runners to "pump your arms" creates unnecessary tension and fatigue - Instead, the arm swing happens naturally when you focus on properly pulling your feet while holding good posture, rather than trying to move your arms which don't propel you forwards. [12:54] Focusing on the "pull" is the one action for runners to practice when running to get results Pulling Makes All the Difference [14:58] Coach Caroline shares how when recovering from knee surgery, Coach Valerie gave her the simple cue to imagine pulling a string attached to her ankle to lift her foot, which made all the difference in getting her running mechanics back on track.

2023/12/15
Want to learn how smart strength training will help you run miles effortlessly? Tune in now!

We’ll still have our podcast on all the podcast directories and you can tune in wherever you listen to podcasts. Based on the transcript, here are some of the key timestamps and highlights from this episode of The RunRX Podcast: Discussing Strength Training Month [03:10] Coach Valerie asks members to demonstrate movements like squats to assess form [03:44] We’ve found many limitations in ankle/hip mobility affecting squat form and running form. The good news is most people are able to correct and modify movements for their own abilities [05:24] Coaches Caroline and Valerie discuss common strength training misconceptions (e.g. women thinking they can't do push ups) It’s Not One Muscle You Should be Working [07:19] Everyone's like, I'm trying to only use my chest and the back of my arm. Well, that is gonna be a struggle. You’re whole body is connected and working together [08:31] A funny thing about fads is one day you’re learning sit ups or push ups are bad, and the next you’re learning they are all fine Connecting Strength Training to Running [11:03] Contrast treating strength training vs. running - one is relaxed, one is rushed [11:43] Strength training helps reconnect with your body to then apply better form to running. Running doesn't necessarily help strength training form, but strength training can help your running form Join us in 2024 [13:21] We hope you will subscribe to our podcast and keep listening to our podcast.
