    "I Can’t Do That"—How to Shift from Limitation to Progress

    Ever catch yourself saying “I can’t do that” before you even try? You’re not alone. In this episode, Coaches Valerie and Caroline break down the mindset that holds runners back—and the real reasons behind so-called limitations like tight hips, weak cores, or bad posture. Learn how most pain or movement struggles aren’t due to permanent body “flaws”—but from poor positioning, inactivity, or misunderstanding proper form. Hear how simple modifications and mindset shifts can unlock movements you once avoided, and why correct movement corrects movement. Whether you’ve given up on core work, are frustrated by a limited range of motion, or just need help setting realistic movement goals, this episode will show you how to move forward—literally and mentally. 🎧 Download the FREE RunRX Academy App!
