Stop Chasing Every Trend: How to Find a Running Coach You Can Trust

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie talk about what makes running and rehab advice actually useful when you are overwhelmed by influencers, conflicting opinions, and constant “do this, do that” content. Valerie shares why she started creating videos back in 2011: after clinics, runners often could not remember the drills and tips she taught, so she began filming the movement work so people could go back and review it later. That simple, repeatable teaching style became part of RunRx, where the focus is on clear cues, practical drills, and helping runners understand the same movement from different angles until it clicks.The episode also covers how to evaluate online coaching advice without getting lost in the noise. Valerie explains why the longevity of a coach matters, why it is worth asking whether a video actually shows you something useful, and why simple teaching often works better than flashy content. She shares how she used the same injury-prevention ideas from RunRx for her own rehab, why some stretches look impressive but are not realistic for most people, and why the real goal is to help runners hold the running pose with better alignment, mobility, and confidence. The conversation ends with a strong reminder that real coaching is about honesty, clarity, and results, not hype.Where to find us ▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play
