Valerie and Caroline break down why foam rolling and daily mobility work are essential for runners — not as a luxury, but as practical self-care that prevents adhesions, restores range of motion, and keeps you running pain-free. In this episode Valerie shares her own wake-up story (an unexpected leg injury) and how regular rolling, short mobility bites, and simple movement habits transformed her approach to recovery. You’ll learn why a little rolling often — five minutes before a warmup, during TV time, or between sessions — adds up, how to spot scar-tissue “knots” before they harden, and simple ways to normalize rolling so it actually happens (spoiler: leave the roller out of the car and put it in the living room).Practical tips included in the episode:• How to mix rolling, stretching and movement into one efficient routine.• Why adhesions form and how rolling prevents them from hardening into chronic limitations.• Quick roll + micro-mobility ideas you can do in 5–10 minutes when life gets busy.• How to modify rolling and mobility when you’re injured so you can keep practicing running technique while you recover.• How to make foam rolling a habit in clubs and groups (and why many runners don’t do it yet).▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot - Skill , Strength & Self-Carehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membershiphttps://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrong📱 Find us in your app store for Apple and Google - RunRX Academy
