[00:43] A Patient Runner's Journey

Coach Valerie shares the amazing story of Victoria, a Canadian runner who took an unconventional path to her first half marathon.

Instead of rushing into races, she spent three years preparing, attending running clinics, and embracing the learning process as a complete beginner.

[02:42] The Mental Preparation is Just as Important as Physical Training

Victoria's success wasn't just about physical conditioning - it was about mental preparation too.

In other athletic pursuits, we wouldn't expect instant mastery. Yet with running, we often do.

Expecting immediate success in running is just as unrealistic as expecting to do a pull-up on your first try at the gym.

[08:13] Victoria's Success Story

Victoria had impressive progress - from running 10-12 minute miles to completing her half marathon at an 8-minute mile pace.

She overcame common form issues that many tall runners face and learned to run with proper posture.
