The Difference Between a Duck and a Pigeon

[1:00] Coach Valerie wondered why a duck and a pigeon were used as an analogy about running. She thought that maybe it was because of how they run, wherein ducks move their feet fast while a pigeon is a walker.

Running Mistakes

Easy Running

[7:07] They sometimes say that a runner must go on an easy run. However, Coach Valerie says easy runs don’t exist. When running, you use every single muscle in your body, and it’s one of the most intense cardiovascular activities.

[7:53] Running is not easy, but you have the power to make running easier on you and your body. Some people make it look easy to run.
