Are you tired of the constant injury cycle? Are you continuously training but not seeing your paces increase or your endurance improve?
It may be that you haven’t taken the birds eye view of your training structure, so you’re missing vital elements that will help you reach your goals. Periodized training plans can be structured to train for a race, recover and build strength, set a PR or simply ensure you’re not overtraining on your way to an injury.
In episode 31, Coach Val takes you through the structure of a periodized training program. She breaks down the elements of a plan and how to use it to train for a race or keep you on track all year long. There is a time to train and a time to recover, but without a periodized plan it’s hard to tell if you’re coming or going.

If you’re a runner, then inevitably you will find yourself staring down the barrel of a hard workout or race at some point.
Running is simple but no one ever said it was easy. At some point a little voice in your head will tell you to stop, slow down or give up. Maybe you’re hitting new mileage distances that you’ve never run before or paces that you didn’t think were attainable. Then, when you least expect it, you start to hear that little voice in your head and your body starts to slow down, your heart rate quickens and you start down the path toward bonking.
But wait!
Someone in the crowd yells, “The finish line is around the corner!” As it comes into sight, you start to move faster. From somewhere in the ether, you find the energy pick up your pace and sprint to the final finish line. Where does that energy come from and how did you ever get to that low point in the first place with so much energy still left in reserves?
In episode 30 of the Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val talks about the complex (and controversial) Central Governor Model of Fatigue and its impact on everything from mundane runs to marathons. She covers why the model has merit and where it’s lacking clarity. Most importantly, she covers how to use your understanding of the Central Governor during your next run to assess your own readiness, or if the Governor has your back.

Let’s talk about protein…what plant-based nutritional recovery plan would be complete without it?
Athletes (and the general public alike) are fascinated with this macronutrient. Its grams are plastered in big letters on the front of food packages, added to bars, cereals and drinks and coveted in a way that would make a person think that protein is in short supply in natural foods.
How much protein does a runner actually need every day? Are all of these bars and powders really necessary? And, are you relegated to beans and tofu as your primary source of protein for the rest of your life?
In episode 29 of the Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val discusses what the science says about protein requirements and how those recommendations relate to the endurance runner. She also covers the topic of bioavailability of protein and its relationship to a plant-based diet. So, the next time someone asks you, where do you get your protein, you’ll be prepared with far more than beans and tofu.

What keeps a runner moving? It’s the (simple) carbs! Of course, hydration plays a key role, as well. But, without the right nutrition, energy wanes. Muscles tire. Performance suffers. Energy gels are a primary, preferred fuel source for many runners due to their ease of use, convenience and efficiency.
Not all gels are created equal—especially when it comes to being tummy-friendly while still delivering on the nutritional boost your body needs for top performance. Tune in to episode 27 of the Running on Carbs Podcast as Coach Val reviews 9 popular gels (plus a bonus) to find the best vegan options for race day, training, or long runs.

What keeps a symphony of instruments from sounding like noise? It’s the space between the notes that makes the music. Without the intentional pauses, all the instruments just blend together in one big bundle of sound.
No emotion. No intonation. Just noise.

and create the pause…between the notes.

My kindergarten teacher was awesome! She taught us all sorts of life lessons and people skills that translated well into daily life and carried me through to adulthood with a genuine foundation.
We learned which side of stairs were the “up” side and which side were the “down”. We also learned how to be courteous to our classmates, take turns, cooperate on the playground and stand in a straight line (a very helpful skill at race start lines when hitting the porta-loo before the starting horn sounds).
But, she didn’t teach me everything that I would need to be a gracious and thoughtful runner so, in this episode I’ll highlight some runner etiquette you may be wondering about.
Is it impolite to pass other runners without waving?Can runners use the bike lane?What about running in groups?Fresh off my 10k tune-up race, I also share a race day recap and then I top off the episode with a bonus segment on racing etiquette, because you probably didn’t learn this in kindergarten either!

You’ve trained for months, and you want to show up at the starting line of your race confident and prepared. What is the one thing you can do to hit the turbo boost button on your confidence gauge?
Practice! And, I don’t just mean running. You actually have to practice the art and science of racing and the logistics that come with it.
Like anything else in life, when we know what to expect, it takes the fear of the unknown out of the situation. Then, we are free to focus on our performance and live in the moment, rather than in our heads.
In this episode, Coach Val talks about the importance of tune-up races and how to properly structure them into a training plan at any distance.

Why is running good for you? If you answered that it develops fitness and builds a strong body, then you’re sorely mistaken. Although running certainly builds fitness, building strong bodies wouldn’t even make the list of most biomechanics specialist and physical therapists, according to the author of Running Rewired, Jay Dicharry.
In this episode of Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val shares some differences between the first and second edition of the Running Rewired book by Jay Dicharry and how she incorporates the workouts into her training and the training plans of those she coaches.

Training for and running a half marathon is a goal for many runners. It’s an ideal distance; long enough to require training, challenging enough to see continuous improvement as you gain experience and fitness, yet short enough to recover in a manageable timeframe.
The magic is all in the training and for busy professionals with full-time work and household responsibilities, fitting it all in can be a real trick.
In this episode, Coach Val covers the fundamentals of half marathon training, time saving tips and mindset techniques to help you crush your next half marathon, all while keeping your schedule in check.

It’s Coach Val’s birthday week! She’s another year closer to the big 5-0 and excited about the prospects ahead of her.
Join Coach Val this week for a slightly different kind of episode where she pulls back the curtain on how she came to coaching and her personal philosophy on running, coaching and working with other busy, professional women.
As mentioned in this episode:

The mental side of racing and training is often neglected.
The old adage, “Running is 90% mental and the rest is physical” still gets bantered around but there is little substance to make it useful in everyday training.
Whether an elite or novice, there comes a time in the race that your body hurts and says it can’t go on, and that’s when your mind must take over.
Are you prepared for this moment?
Running is often said to be used as therapy or to clear your mind. So, what if you took this to the next level and applied it to your training and racing in a systemized way that actually supports you as a whole person?
This week, on the Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val shares her takeaways from the book, “Running Within: A guide to mastering the body-mind-spirit connection for ultimate training and racing”, by Jerry Lynch and Warren Scott. She shares her personal perspective on what she’s broken down into a framework of 4 pillars of mindful, spiritual running.
