Why don't Coaches Caroline and Valerie race anymore? Tune into this episode to find out! Timestamps of big takeaways Why The RunRX Coaches Don't Race Anymore [00:45] Coach Valerie explains that as a coach, it's hard to properly train yourself while also training others. After 17 years of racing and coaching, she transitioned to just coaching so she could focus on her members. Different Types of Members [01:30] Coach Valerie explains they have members recovering from injury, currently injured, as well as those not racing who just want to run consistently. The membership accommodates all of these different needs. [03:35] Coach Caroline shares that she didn't enjoy the logistics of racing - waking up early, driving, parking, etc. The motivation to run became less about the race itself. Keeping Motivated Without Races [04:48] - Coach Valerie says they provide training plans for members whether they are injured, not racing, or just recently signed up for a race. Having a plan and community keeps you motivated. Accountability and Community [06:25] - Consistency in training is key even if you're not prepping for a race. Coach Valerie emphasizes staying "race ready" through a balance of running, strength, and skills work. Accountability to yourself and the community support helps members achieve their goals and stick with the program.
