In this episode of the RunX Podcast Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie explain why short, regular check-ins beat occasional overreach, how simple movement checks and short daily drills prevent injury, and why coaching focuses on your movement — not your clothes or weight. Learn exactly what a coach looks for in a gait check (ears → shoulders → hips → lifted ankle), how private vs community check-ins work, and step-by-step tips for uploading usable video or photos so your coach can help faster. Hear real member examples of how small, repeatable changes turned chronic pain into consistent, pain-free running. Practical, actionable, and grounded in movement skill — this episode gives you the next steps to get back on track today.
