Over 50 Runner Regains Speed and Sets New Goals

[03:44] Coach Valerie shares how our 50+ runner worked on alignment and efficiency to get back to racing pain-free. She now has the confidence to push her performance and set new age-group goals.

Immersion Training for Injury Recovery

[05:38] The "immersion" training that RunRx uses helps runners recover from injury by improving movement patterns.

Virtual Coaching on Weekly Zooms

[08:27] The coaches describe how the weekly Zoom calls allow for virtual coaching and individual attention even in a small group setting. Coach Valerie is able to watch and give feedback to each runner individually.

Group Environment Provides Additional Learning

[11:09] Being in the group zoom environment allows runners to learn from listening to coach Valerie as well as the other participants. The community aspect is beneficial.

Membership Options for Ongoing Support

[12:46] There are membership options, including just doing the immersion for a month or staying on for ongoing coaching. We encourage runners to stay for at least 3 months to create a habit that will create consistency in your training.

Connect Through Email Without Social Media

[15:56] Runners can connect with us via email if you’re not comfortable with being on social media. Questions and videos can be sent directly to us.
