Valerie explains why her coaching starts with one core idea: running is a movement pattern, and if the pattern is not working, no shoe, brace, or trendy fix will magically solve it. The episode focuses on how runners often arrive already injured

She was open and honest, and I’m so grateful to her for coming on the show and
