Timestamps of big takeaways

[00:26] Recently a lot of RunRX members have voiced concerns about not being fast enough in races. We get it. A lot of us want to be faster.

[01:40] On the other hand, a lot of runners come in focused on volume to run long distances for marathons.

[02:20] The interesting thing is, to get faster, you have to train at lower mileage and higher speeds.

[03:30] One member wanted to run longer and faster, but skill and the proper movements must be the first priority to run pain free.

[06:01] Body regeneration takes time for running success.

[07:05] We’re doing ourselves a disservice if we’re not taking time to learn proper movement, and enough time to heal and adjust to a new way of moving.

[09:27] Coach Valerie talks about when her coach asked if she’d be interested in racing. Training and racing pace have differences.

[10:10] If you want to run a 5k, but you are new to running and want to do it pain free, it may take longer for you. It’s important to be okay with that if you can’t get faster in the beginning.
