Think you’re running just because you lace up and move your feet? Think again.

In this episode, Coach Valerie shares her deep dive into the Pose Method and how true running starts only after you move past the basics. Most runners stop at "pose-fall-pull," but it’s the nuance, the timing, and the mindset that unlock effortless, powerful running.

She shares what it was like training directly with Dr. Romanov and how learning to unthink and feel running transformed her—and now hundreds of RunRX members. If you’ve plateaued or feel like running is still hard no matter how much you train, this episode is for you.
