When you choose RunRX to manage your training, you won’t get what some coaches tell you to do. We’ll never push the miles on you. It’s not about a magic number. Tune in now to learn just how important quality is over quantity if you hope to run pain-free.

Timestamps of big takeaways

[00:22] Let’s talk about training plans and the fact that it's about quality versus quantity

[01:46] A while back we didn’t know the body needed warmups and preparations

[02:15] Everything requires drills and practice - from martial arts to the piano to running

[03:26] We’re not telling you not to workout - we’re changing the structure of your workout

[04:15] Skipping the drills and running “easier” actually just reinforces the wrong movements

[04:30] Running correctly and doing the drills with the right movement can become your routine

[05:29] You’re going to develop new patterns and learn the correct movement so you can run pain-free

[05:55] You will have short interval days and skill drills and it’s not about the “miles”

[06:40] That’s not to say that in the membership there is no running, but there’s a different intent

[08:15] We want you to be connecting with your body while you’re running - from warm-up to the actual run to cool down

[09:47] Coaches Caroline and Valerie talk about how a five-minute workout can be just as powerful as going to the gym for an hour - it’s not always about volume!

[11:13] Coach Valerie shares what she did in her five-minute workout

[12:33] The coaches explain further the difference between a five minute and a 45-minute workout - imagine no time cap for a moment and just focus on the standard of movement

[14:10] Don’t get caught up in extending the time to get a good workout in

[15:11] You might not need an hour to get a great workout. It could be five minutes. Quit thinking about the time, and focus on the quality

[15:45] Coach Valerie discusses a woman she is training for a marathon

[17:33] Too many people get hung up in the mindset that they have to be working out every day - “They have to get their hour in”

[20:06] Truth bomb moment - some hour-long workouts are horrible and don’t give your body what it actually needs

[21:13] One thing we see with some of our clients is that they expect they should be doing more in their training. Let’s focus on the movement, and getting it right

[23:15] If what you’re doing isn’t working, you need to do something at least a little different

[23:33] Most runners don’t warm up, and you need to add in a warm-up

[24:47] If you aren’t in the membership, you can get started with our training for free in our 30-day reboot on YouTube. And you can watch our Facebook Lives for free, and follow Coach Valerie on Instagram to keep learning how to run pain-free.
