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.

Teaching Proper Running Efficiency

[02:13] We teach runners proper technique so running feels easier and they can go faster without overexertion. 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. This allows ongoing coaching for continued progress.
