Running on Carbs Podcast
Running on Carbs Podcast is hosted by Coach Val, a wife, empty-nester mom and executive level professional who has a love and passion for helping other driven women pursue their own running goals and plant-based way of eating. We talk about everything running related from training for races to mindset to prepping plant-based meals that fit a busy lifestyle. There are no apologies for loving carbs on this podcast! Yeah, protein is important, and we’ll talk about that too, but carbs are our jam. Although, we do [mainly] focus on the healthy kinds. Coach Val is a double certified run coach through UESCA and RRCA. She is also a National Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Coach that specializes in plant-based nutrition and a Correctional Exercise Specialist.

A Runner’s Perspective of Running Rewired 2nd Edition Workouts
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
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.

Crush your Half Marathon without Losing your Mind (or your job)
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
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.

Running with your Mind, Body and Spirit
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
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.
