Controlled Falling: Beat the Fear & Run Freer

The RunRX Podcast by Coach Valerie & Coach Caroline

Episode notes

Controlled falling, cadence, and the mental roadblocks that stop runners — Coaches Caroline & Valerie explain how to train the fall, recover from fear-driven movement mistakes, and use simple drills to run lighter and pain-free.

✅ Key takeaways

✅ Controlled falling (not leaning) reduces impact and improves cadence.

✅ Start with drills (wall, bands, short hops) and build balance before chasing 180+ cadence.

✅ If fear appears — stop, reset, practice balance — don’t reach with the front foot.

✅ Transfer drills to running gradually and seek live feedback for faster, safer progress.
