I stopped watching when I saw him constantly landing on his heel in the footage. Even I know that much. This will cause you problems longterm.
i heel strike a lot which is why i cant run more than a few seconds before my shin splints kill me
It’s great, I watch this video, absorb everything he says and then realise I’m a climber not a runner. I don’t know if it’s applicable
6:07 Where my barefoot runners at? Switched to running in huaraches 8 years ago and injuries simply aren’t a thing any longer.
Wish I had listened to this video before I went back to run for the first time in years in shitty 6 years old shoes. I got a shin split
Too much too soon… Too right
I ran 200km in June after a quarter of that in May and none before. I was pleased to do it but now have to wait out a calf injury for a month…
I wear Vibram five fingers. Not much wear and tear here bud. It’s time for you to switch.

hi guys, i love your channel. I love actually the whole cycling network channels. i am a cyclist myself and write about my experiences on a blog. following are my cycling and adventure experiences. It will mean a lot to me if you take some time out and read these.
Wow thank u ever so much for this video,it’s insightful.We overlook the obvious n sometimes smaller things.
I have done 10 out of 10 mistakes. I’m glad there are others sharing their mistake/feedback to make us all better runners. Great tips, thanks Coach Nate!!
Great tips, I just started running (in iso!) Thank you very much
Whenever I start to appreciate myself while running,that’s exactly when I twist my ankle
I admit I run out the door without stretching and warming up.
I haven’t ran in 2 weeks been sticking to the gym I think YouTube is telling me I need to get back out there
I tried following a couch to 5k but during week 4/5 started getting knee pain but tried to run through it. Big mistake now a week later my knees hurt just walking.:(
Bro just be careful David Goggins doesn’t watch this video. He would dislike it. You r too soft man. Stay Hard, stay savagery
Well so running (correctly) is apparently rocket science and I have been probably running with inproper form. That along with the wounds on both sides of my thigh gap really make me struggle with walking and running any distance
At school when I’m in a race I Always start off really slow and allow myself to be last but then near the end I speed up gradually and then at the end I just sprint
Thank you coach Nate. This is very important. I find your channel is really genuine and concerned about injury which is a very real problem, for elite or amateurs. Especially beginners. I had a bad ITBS last year. Hope new runners will watch this before they go further in training. Thanks coach. You’re the best
I never warm up. If I do, I’m significantly slower on my pace. How do I fix that?
Wearing out trainers? I was like.. I dont have a trainer let alone more than one… oh, shoes..
If you’re an endurance runner or a fat-burning (Dr Phil Maffetone) enthusiast like me who has been running longer than I can remember, I’m afraid high knee lifts, landing on balls of feet is totally unnatural and not the recommended technique.
Surprised that he didn’t highlight that heel strike first running is actually the wrong way to run. I transitioned from that form of running to ball first strike running by running barefoot first indoors and then on the beach. Then I focused on that when wearing shoes running on asphalt.
I would mention to regularly stretch before or after the exercise. Pays off when ur older….
Do you have to warm your body before running through warm-up?
My worst story is that I ate sushi immediately before a run. That is 5 miles I will never forget. That said, eating before your run can really boost your tolerance for stomaching gels on race day, there are just certain things you avoid (like sushi lol)
I have been treating shin splints for over 20 years as a physical therapist. The only consistent risk factor for shin splints on the inside (medial) side of your leg is ankle instability. Most people do not even realize that they have ankle instability. It can be genetic or from mild sprains over the years. When I stabilize my patients ankles, their pain goes away. The best product that I found is the Bauerfeind Sports Ankle Support. It is low profile and will not restrict your motion. Is fits like a sock and is very comfortable. Go to this link to read more about the brace and see a video of a runner with laxity or a loose ankle. https://www.bauerfeind.com/b2c/Health/Guides/Shin-Splints/c/shin-splints If you use the Promo code SHINS15 in the shopping cart you will receive 15% off all orders on the website. The brace has a 60 day money back guarantee. Go to [email protected] gmail.com if you have further questions. Stop resting and get out running!
Haven’t ran any distance since school, running for a bus feels so awkward and like trying to move through deep water. Any advice on starting again.
Went for a jog the other night, struggling to walk for the last 3 days, didn’t even jog far, my calf’s are tight and in pain.
At the. Moment I’m jogging once a week. Havnt jogged for years, I cycle everyday and play badminton regularly.
This is the first video I’ve watched on your channel. Subscribed immediately after. Well done!
Eating Camembert sandwich before a hard sport session (was not running but swimming), horrible experience. Sorry but not the best video you’ve made (neither funny or useful)… but keep going on the channel
Thanks for these tips. I started running this month and managed to run a 5k in 12:37.
not warming up lol… do you ever see a cheetah or a wolf doing stretches before the hunt?
basically my wife and I are doing EVERYTHING wrong haha thanks for the video very helpful
Great informative vids on this channel! Really helpful for me, as I’m just starting out. Cheers
Padded footwear lol… if you are a distance runner, or even for casual wear, DONT use padded footwear EDUCATE yourself people!!! Padding adds to impact sigh
Edit: also you shouldnt be landing mid foot and slapping the ground, the balls of your feet are magic… cant believe the amount of people here willing to blindly follow this trash…
The shoulder thing is me all the way. I’ve gotten cramps in my traps several times because I’m basically holding a shrug the entire run.
Ugghh I get shin splints the first two miles and then they go away. I am short 5 feet 2. Have run for years but lately these shin splints make it harder to run. Need better shoes because Saucony doesn’t do it for me anymore. Any suggestions?
I’ve been running my whole life and I don’t know if I do as you say like land on your mid foot etc, but I do good in running I think it just depends where your feel most relaxed when running
Love these kinda videos, the backdrop of the sea is inspiring too!
My mistake is that it really hard to go slow
Should go more slow and build up endurance that way
Number 1 makes me feel personally attacked! I definitely am guilty of this, have been putting off going to a physio for a while but I think I just need to bite the bullet and get my issues sorted.
great advice MT you must have had a good Physical Education looking for videos for my current students to help them stay active during lockdown and you’ll be pleased to know the St A’s community will get the benefit of your experience all the best Mr P
I’ve been a heel striker since i was a kid. I’ve never had shin splints. shin splints come from tight calf muscles, which you’re more likely to get from running on the balls of your feet like everyone seems to do nowadays.
Dude, the blonde guy in the video looks exactly like the young Dennis Bergkamp!
Mistake #6 is always killing my run streaks (start&stop) and joy!
One would be sleeping at 2:30 drunk, waking up at 9 and thinking you can then run and beat your time. Made that mistake before
Thank you. These tips help because I started running on a 30 day challenge. So far I am on day 25 and have ran over 60 miles so far.
thank you so much bob and brad! I just got back to swimming and we’re doing a lot of running so this really helps a lot!
For some reason, I have more energy when I run with a hot girl.
Something that goes hand in hand for me with your first point is not looking down. You shouldn’t be able to see your feet when you’re running and looking for the horizon helps me. Sometimes its hard in five fingers because you step on something that you feel and suddenly you start to gaze downwards, which can then put you in the quasimodo position. When you’re road running its pretty easy to have a good look, little trickier in the trees but got to keep the head up and posture in form.
There you go, i subscribed! Thanks for the lovely tipps, i just started jogging and i never even warmed up, my muscles are hurting like hell, and the way i ran! Oh god, im emberrased:D:D
I’m wondering if I have shin splints or something else because I rested 4 weeks and started lightly jogging again (with a warm-up walk) and the pain is still there. I recently changed my shoes to help with my pronation too.
This is getting saved to my Playlist so that I can watch again and again.
Do you have toe videos? I have an issue with toe one and toe two. I think it is turf toe. Thanks!
I had knee surgery after running for years. Turns out i should of been getting new sneakers and working on my form. Wish i had seen this video then thanks so much for posting more people should know this information before starting running!
450-550 miles? A new pair of running shoes every 2 weeks seems like it would get expensive after awhile. I typically only get 2-3 new pairs a year. Maybe that is why I can’t seem to break a 250mile week.
we have a race here thats 7 laps of a 4 mile loop with a lot of elevation and between each lap you have to drink a “fizzy drink” or soda. man it really wants to come out the first 5 minutes after drinking
Shuffle running is usually due to having heavy legs or being overweight so it’s hard to avoid on long runs. On the last stretch before my sprint I’m basically dragging my legs it’s so exhausting.
very informative, Though I’m disapointed. heres why. you did a lot of talking about what and how. majority of us most probably do it all wrong. yet. YOU never showed us your run..your style. your footing. at least i expected to see you jog nd show the over side and how it actually look..
just got started and 39yo this is the best i cn be my fittest nxt year…
Loved this Coach Nate, so natural and relaxed, and I definitely relate to so much of this! Sharing with my running group.
when he first said trainers, i thought he was talking about people
Start with walking ☹️
Warming up
I warm up by putting shoes to my feet
I know, you are right, I know.
I see people running bent over, pumping their arms etc etc. I would add form to your list of tips. You want to have your upper body perpendicular to the ground and you arms and shoulders loose. If you doing a long run your stride should be short not wide like you always see in the movies or tv when they are showing “runners”; sure stretch it out at the end but not for most of your run. I would also suggest good ankle socks with cushioning, smart wool or darn tough both make good ones. Good video.
Very good, ´´If you’re going through hell, keep going. Winston Churchill´´
Ok I’m actually a god at running and actually have really good advice so feel free to ask me questions:)
Thanks for a great video. One of my biggest beginner mistakes was being too self conscious to enjoy my runs. Now I don’t care how I look (to a certain degree ) or how fast I am and I enjoy my runs much more!
Thanks for the tips, I am new to running! This is good information
In college we used to give blood and then go for a short run. It required a lot less beer afterwards. 😉
The ‘get the right shoe’ tip is complete bullshit. Just get yourself a pair of 40$ reeboks or adidas and you will be fine.
My advice is start off a run the first 10 minutes with a walk then Starts Slow jogging for 5 minutes and then you are ready to hit the sweet spot
#gtn hi guys
I want to do a triathlon but I am 13 and disabled and I can’t ride a bike do you have any advice
I dont know if its that what helped me but ive been doing a lot of hiit and cardio workouts lately and i got from running 30 min to 60 min in a week
Biggest mistakes? No.1 going into a running shop. No.2 not using a running coach that knows what they’re talking about.
I am still running since two month but I always find myself very weak and having breathing heavy and my muscles don’t support me.. What can I do to improve….please suggest.
I do 2 of those things before every morning training session, Drink a can of sugarfree mother (Fizzy and 159mg of caffeine) I can think of it ever being an issue
Why does runners knee occur? As in I’m very motivated and have picked up running consistently since 2 months but I am afraid I am going to injure my knee and ankle.. my ankle is really flimsy… Is there such a thing as running too much.. what are the best ways to exercise the knees and ankles pre and post running?
Common running mistakes and how to avoid them
mistake number # 1
walking
Great video! Do you have any wider shots of you running so we can see the technique as a whole?
why are they all wearing On shoes? Are they being sponsored? I did enjoy running with my Cloudflyers, but now mostly use Hoka. LOL…
0:20 too much too soon
1:11 wrong shoes
2:19 not warming up/cooling down
3:07 not cross/strength training
4:05 first mile pace too fast
4:55 wearing too many layers
5:47 comparing yourself with others
Everytime someone mentions getting a gait analysis all credibility goes out the window.
Good Video! I’m struggling keep the upright position because of bad posture caused by office job. I’ve started to incorporate floor exercises in my training such as superman, plank etc.
“Going out too fast”
Me: I’m literally the only highschooler who doesn’t do that… seriously. I will keep the same pace throughout the race, and I kid you not, I am normally in last at the start, but by the end, I’m at the top. I literally pass everyone.
I always see beginners wearing too many layers. That’s probably the most common thing I’ll see. It’ll be 45-60 degrees Fahrenheit and they will have long leggings and long sleeves as if it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or as if they are a cold blooded reptile.
Thumbnail I’m doing it all wrong. Poor form, inconsistent warm up and old shoes.
I did get new shoes. Some days I just want to get out there and get it done, so I don’t warm up and I slouch when I run.
Thanks for calling me out.
I’ll add one more, poor diet.
Many people are doing wrong pace,running at fast pace all the times. That was my mistake too before. I am much aware of my heart rate zone level…❤️❤️❤️ No more injury,,
Worst thing you shouldnt do, dont ever skip your toilet visit before the run. Its not nice when you have to p** in the middle of a solid good run you are going through
Great advises there! I was always going too hard too soon, and was always discouraged after some knee or back pain and comparing to others. Now I decide to start running again, while doing workouts, but I have a running plan for beginners, walk-runs and increasing the amount of running every week, it feels so much better and my legs are getting used to running:)
Can you talk/do a video about running and exercising while responsibly wearing face coverings during these C-quarantine times, especially in urban areas and on single track trails?
When I first started running, I was wearing the wrong shoes. The difference it made when I invested in my first pair of really good shoes-oh my god.
NHS couch to 5k app was a good way for me to get into running a good starting pace for newbies:-)
Yep. Too hard too fast it’s exactly what I did all 4 times that I attempted to start running.:/
Amen!! in regards to mistake number one, I thought just resting would help my runners knee but it didn’t. It is so much bigger. You really have to be active in your recovery and doing those exercises that will help you get stronger and increase mobility!! Thanks Coach Nate!!
1:45 as a running channel, you should be embarassed that you’re promoting heel striking
There’s literally only 1 store in my poor country that do all that assessment. Others just after your money and recommend the most expensive or newest edition shoes
Okay, I think you’ve inspired me to FINALLY warm-up before every run. Ugh. Such a bad habit of zipping out the door and then not even stretching once I’m back!
I developed shin splints and stress fractures probably from poor form and doing too much too fast. I HATE SHIN SPLINTS AND STRESS FRACTURES SOOO MUCCHH.
I’m doing it exactly how you described naturally. 3 weeks of walking then slowly run walk run walk,now I’m running a 6.30 km for 3.6 km the first week of all run. My minds says go longer. I’m holding back going to slowly and gradually increase my distance. Taking every other day off to ride bike and skip. Feeling good so far
Any advice on getting started? By the way, I only want to be a runner for fun, not competition.
I regularly run Ultras (long distance trails). Can I add an extra running tip: on impact make sure your legs are under you and your joints (knees, ankles, hips) are soft and flexed (no straight leg stuff). Glide softly as you can down hills taking the impact on relaxed soft joints. Challenge yourself to distances you think are crazy, you’ll find you’re more capable than you realise. Slow down, relax and be grateful for life and every step.
I don’t use any particular form. For me it would take some enjoyment out. I just run how I feel comfortable, doesn’t hurt. But I may look into it
Check with your doctor before beginning running if you have had a previous injury that needed medical attention (I didn’t listen to my doctor’s advice as he said no running, BUT my physio and acupuncturist say it’s fine so run I do). And I love it My slipped disc can take it, just have a mind even stronger than your body.
Belter of a video mate. Probably the most needed video for all runners new to it.
I had all injures but I never stop. I love running, just go slow.
Tru!! me 6/7 except worm up-cool down, probably because i run whit group and we always do worming and cooling.. but i’m still running for 2 years, now whitout that mistakes
10days ago new PB on race 1:44:53
Good video
Just started running last week. I could barely run 1,5 km with 2 breaks to catch my breath and relax some muscles. It’s a start! I hope to run 5 km in a few weeks/months and work up from there. Great channel!
Need some advice: I’m a “new” runner in that I’ve been running for 11 months. Just bought new trainers because mine were goners. Had IT band on my left knee, hip pain on the right. Did exercises that my coach told me to do. Viola! Was doing great. Now, I’ve got IT band on my right knee and sciatic nerviest pain in my right butt. I seem to be switching from one side pain to left side pain. I’m thinking it’s overcompensation. However, I’m attempting to train for my first half marathon and if I keep getting new injuries, I fear my training will be inhibited. Side note, I’ve been doing Savage Races and Triathlons so I’m not sure what’s causing these issues because I’m doing all sorts of new things. It should be mentioned that I’ve been strength training as well since January, so I’m no slouch. How can I get back to training without all of these injuries?! It’s killing me! I was supposed to run 6 miles today and I could barely walk at work because my butt kept “electrocuting” me with sciatic nerve pain.
nice explained. Have fun and keep healthy. I hope to see and hear you again
Excellent, would love more on proper form and foot landing, otherwise, it’s excellent, thanks.
Thank you so much make this video i will try it you’re suggestion
Caffeine: thinks it will boost me up but makes me want to poop and pee none stop
Thanks for the vid. This was a good refresher course for me to avoid those pitfalls of the past!
New to the Running game myself I was trying to run fast every run. Didn’t take me long to figure out this wasn’t going to help. Slowed down a lot in training and have been getting faster and faster 5km times. Gone from 30 min to 21:20 in about 1.5 years.
How come you know all the things I do and problems I have?? It’s just spooky…
Another tip that I had to learn thru pain. If ur legs are kinda touching when ur running focus on making ur stride wider not so close together, it will give u shin splints and make ur hips hate u, want ur feet to land shoulder width apart and ur front foot should always land under ur hip to avoid unnesserary wear on ur shins and knees.
Idk why I’m watching this, ive been running for 4 years and have a 4:12 mile lmao
I stopped running for about 4 months because I was doing Volleyball and then I began running again and I got IT band syndrome. So, I now have to go back to square one.
I’m 100% guilty of mistake #6 I suffer from stravicide badly!
But.. running IS the warm up ♂️
Also, explain Laird Hamilton
Lol for putting up a video of James dunne from kinetic revolution
Lol I did all of these bar the wrong amount of clothes and what happenedAchilles tendinitis really bad case of it too13 week recovery
I just started running 3 days ago.
Day 1: Bad shoes and no app, did 3 km and i was dead
Day 2: Same bad shoes and an app that tells me how to pace run/walk. 8 km easy
Got some Asics shoes and i wish i could go again today but the Internet said i need a rest.
Cant wait to go running tomorrow. I set the training to beginner and when it ended after 32 minutes i wanted more so i kept running. I ran/walk for 1 hour and it was just enough. Maybe i should set it to intermediate? Great video thank you
I wish you had more videos for those of us who are just interested in running/jogging to stay fit. I don’t want to run in half or full marathons. I’ll be 60 years old next year and maybe then I can run in some 5Ks. But right now I just want to run to stay healthy.
I used to do #3, than I started adding in some slower runs, and not only am I getting better, the slow runs are my favourite days. Nice and relaxing, looking at the plants and trees, just having a good time and getting some exercise.
I do #5 also, my god, there is nothing more demotivating than doing what you think is a good run, and looking at your stats and your pace is off.
Defnitely forgot to run for fun. The past few months, I have been wondering why I couldn’t seem to get motivated to go out. I appreciate being called out. Now I will just have to go out for a gentle few miles and see if it feels better, no timer, no tracker, just me and the wind.
I’m not going to take advice on running from someone who only spend 1/3 of their time on running and wear the worst running shoes (because the guy who won Kona wears them) and still have bad form even though you’re making a video about running form
What would be the ideal min:mile ratio? I do mine in avg of 9mins as my ‘slow comfortable pace’ but i feel like its so slow for me and i dont work my heart enough.
Mistake 7 8 is a given brotha a nigga short on cheddah at the moment
Fueling for beginners is an important one. When I started i was eating too much to fuel my runs and in turn I was gaining weight. And also how long you should wait after eating before going for a run.
At the beginning of my journey from couch to 5k I progressed to run around 8k, 10k four, sometimes five days a week. What was my mistake? I didn’t eat enough. I was confused why suddenly I wanna eat more, and constantly felt guilty about that. Simply I just needed more energy. Same goes with the days you just wanna be a pancake, but even though you push yourself to run. Listen to your gut, it’s an amazing, advanced computer in your body. Trust yourself.
Great video as always guys… I will get sharing… if any of you always have great intention to correct form, but once the trainers are on, you don’t get round to it (…. everyone right?!) come and join the Monday morning Zoom Runs we coach you over audio… great way to start the week too:) check us out at http://www.runwithchrissie.co.uk or on insta http://www.instagram.com/virtualzoomrun
Glad i found this channel as ime a very beginner when it comes to ♂️♂️♂️♂️
So glad ive found this channel ive literally just took up running for mental health reasons and had no idea how to go about things thanks
So do we benefit from having cushioned shoes for most runs and minimalistic shoes for once a week to remind us of feet posture??? I just run in one pair of shoes twice to three times a week. (Now injured)
I once (hardly)finished a 10k with a bleeding feet…
Cus I used brand new shoes out of the box without breaking-in hahahaha
I fell victim to the ” Too much too soon ” mistake. I was increasing distance and trying to get a better pace all too quickly and I started getting shin splints. Those things are the worst. Now I can’t wait to get back to running in the evenings as our lockdown rules are eased to allow evening running
What would you suggest for a runner who needs supportive trainers due to over pronation? I’ve had injuries in the past from running in trainers that weren’t supportive enough
bruh your chin is not the first place to start when thinking about posture
holy crap that vein in your leg 0:38 going to get that removed?
Massive tip, download a app called couch to 5k. Has helped me a lot and running is mostly mental determination but if you have pain go and see a GP.
Great video! Your channel is so helpful and inspiring. I’m definitely going to be more mindful and make use of my smart watch ‘move reminders’ when I’m working all day over my laptop.
I’m also going to get to my local running shop for some trainers that aren’t as cushioned as ones I’ve got now. Thanks!
Just started running again after years of not, I was a soccer player as well. On run 3, I was gifted extremely painful shin splints. Ive rested/rehab for 5 weeks, went for a test jog and the pain returned immediately. Looks like more time doing rehab/strengthening/stretching. Brand new pair of Hokas and Altras just looking at me……..I learned that I have to start completely over compared to my soccer days lol.
About the coffee one I’m pretty sure Kenyans do some runs on only tea, which is basically the same thing as coffee in terms of caffeine and benefits
Great advice. You have given me the confidence to get out there. Not ran for a while and was feeling nervous & self conscious. No more!! Thanks.
Use a foam roller before and after a run. An invaluable tool that can alert you to a problem much earlier than it shows up in your running.
If you’re a cross country runner or just run long distances DO NOT DONATE BLOOD. If you run about 6-8 miles everyday you’ll get an extra liter of blood. The human body typically has about 5 liters of blood and running bring it up to about another liter. Bloods important because it helps send oxygen through your brain and can help you recover faster. If you donate that blood you won’t run as fast and as efficient.
Bob talking about bad posture while he has bad posture. Jk, he doesn’t have bad posture he just has really long arms and they bring his shoulders forward.
Structure governs function. Neglect strength and mobility. Pay the price later
Wow! You know me! How do you know everything that I do and don’t do and we’ve never met…have we? I’m guilty of almost ALL of these mistakes. Thanks for your help. Hopefully this will help me out of the “rough patch” that I’ve found myself in lately.
I do all of these. I’m in a “hurry” to lose weight so def making mistakes. Trying to not get injured. This sure helps.
I once did a very hilly 5k whilst hungover. Not my best idea…
My slow runs still have me breathing hard the entire run, is this normal for beginners?
Mistake number 9, I don’t agree. I mean ok coffee isn’t the BEST start but I lived exclusively off coffee for years, it’ll hydrate you fine or I’d be dead. Now should you be chugging two coffees first thing in the morning?.. probably not:) I like a green tea nowadays followed by water but anyway. As for the water while running, so long as you hydrate before hand you can easily run 6+ miles in a desert and be fine, just ask the Navy SEALs down in death valley! Or Wim Hoff, or any of the other people who do it (I can’t run for sh*t by the way! my lungs are knackered from years of smoking, trying to learn to nose breath currently). Does performance drop while dehydrated? Yes. Are you in a competition at this time? If yes then drink up but if not then perhaps its a good thing to stress the body that way, you can become more efficient with what you’ve got.
Also why do people feel the need to get into a uniform to go running? (or cycling, or lifting, or any exercise thing for that matter) I run in my flat Converse style DCs and jeans, never had a problem (I lift in them too, and hike, and retail work!). Does this become more of a factor as the miles go up? The way I feel about it is I want to have my performance at all times, all circumstances. If I have to run for my life I don’t want to have to get changed first!
Oh oh oh, and trails. Running on pavement/tarmac all the time isn’t bad but getting some ankle articulation and core engagement from running trails or grass or sand is sooo much better
Hi. Thank for this video. Can I ask for some advice please. I will be doing a charity half marathon in March. I’m not very experienced with running, but I do do strength training in the gym, I do squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press and rows etc. I’m currently doing a program called strong lifts 5×5 on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and my plan is to continue with this or perhaps reduce the volume to 3×5 or 3×3, and go running on the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Rest on Sunday. Does this sound like a good plan? Also how can I minimise any muscle loss? Thanks again
Thanks so much for sharing all this info. I have taken notes of the changes I need and looking forward to improve.
So I have this issue where I one side of my body feels like it works out more than the other, am I not running properly or stretching?
Once came back from the club at 2am and woke up to run at 5am with alcohol in my belly it was the longest run ever
Question is the recommendation to wear a minimalist shoe still true if you have really flat arches that cause pronation and ankle pain??
I have had to listen to my body more during training because I have a new born that doesn’t let me get enough recovery sleep
Nate and team thanks for your advise and your videos. I surched the net intesively and your chanel is the best available.
I am over 50 and run for 20 years now. My original plan was to run my first marathon this year and I realized you can’t do this without a plan….l learned much about running and my major goal is stay healthy or you never will finish.
Therefore I can only confirm do different things like cycling, swimming, strengthening and work on your mobility… also yoga or tai chi could help.
Maybe a last remark if you tend to cramp, compresion stockings might help and Mg if you take it over a longer period of time. Best wishes from Germany Volker
Is the app free to use? Cause i don’t have any running plan or anything to watch progress on my run.
Thanks for the great tips! I have flat feet and terrible knees at 29 years of age. Can’t wait to have my first “barefoot” run tomorrow!
Heres a mistake for you: You dont need to run, while making a video about running.
So annoying to listen to this crap….
i definitely jumped from running 4 miles to 6 miles. i definitely also always ignore my bathroom needs while on a run until i have no where to go
I use the zombie run app and if I miss a few days or a week (cause of girl issues) i will just go back a week to slowly form up my endurance again.
I also have ankle issues so I need the extra support.
luv u bro, i will definitely subscribe your app soon. The calf resting with ice didn’t help me. Now i’m working through my legs with my ball and found many ugly nuts hurting through my calf. I got myself a Fitletic hydration belt. it’s non slip and a great tool to keep my water with me and little things.
I used to do a lot of these mistakes, especially the pacing one. Nowadays I practice a lot more restraint; I start out really slowly and let the increase in speed occur naturally. Sometimes it can take up to 5 km before I get up to proper running speed, but after that it’s like I’m unable to tire, whereas if I start out more aggressively the lactic acid starts building up as early as the 2 km mark, and by the time I hit 5K the run has turned entirely sour.
Me having brushed my shoes upto 2000k over a period 1 and half years on hard concrete pavement repeatedly and repeatedly getting throbbing shin splints be like, “if they look fine, they must work fine”
I ran my first marathon in Dublin. Absolutely zero training, heaviest weight I’ve ever been and a raging hangover from the Dublin night life haha. Ran it a little under 4 hours. Couldn’t walk for a week and couldn’t run for a couple months. Worst mistake of my life haha
Absolutely love ur channel..just gives me so much pleasure to watch ur videos and then apply your tips in my run..honestly shows a lot of improvement in my runs..keep it going cheers:).. (edit) btw just installed ur app as well..can’t wait to try out the workouts!
Take it like this I would jog until the sciatica made me stop to get back on…now it’s like trendmill burn…and I’ve been off for awhile
the rule about not getting exited and doing to much running straight away was kinda funny to me since that is the exact mistake i made at the start and i injured my leg lol
I started running for the first time at age 34. Too much too soon, wrong shoes etc. I ended up with a fibula stress fracture (diagnosed by expensive MRI scan). Had to rest for 3 months. After the waiting period, everytime I wanted to start again I had pain and ended up taking off for altogether 7 months. I started keeping a pain diary and soon realized that the pain always occurs before cold or rainy weather. I now see it as a built-in weather man:) Have been conditioning myself back to running slowly. I only wish I found this awesome channel before the bug bit me. You are all such an inspiration.
I made only one the mistakes on this list…. having the same shoes of running as when running, otherwise, i checked it all! great list <3
I have been running for a year now. The only problem i face is having a knee burn through out the day. What should i do to prevent this.
Don’t do what I just did this last weekend and run 13.1 miles after exclusively running 6 miles every other day for the past 2 months, work up to your long runs.
Thanks man
For giving us such a very important information
✊✊
Since it’s not great to wear flatter shoes when not running, what do you recommend for people who work on their feet all day? Flat shoes hurt my feet after a couple hours.
For number nine, thank goodness I don’t drink coffee anyway!
As for many of the points here, definitely worth assessing every once in a while! I do find that at least some of these points tend to get overlooked!
Have you ever experienced drinking too much fluid before a run in the attempt to be sufficiently hydrated for the run? Have kept repeating this mistake but that’s because I take hydration for running very seriously.
Good content, useful tips and nice running background.
Hey Nate, can I follow you on strava? Also, no cap, I’m not making any mistakes here. I really have been working hard on myself for a little, but I’m still a bit new to running. This is a good video to check back and make sure I’m not slacking! I really second the standing desk, and if you need to sit, get a stationary bike. I “have” adhd, I physically have a hard time sitting still lol.
This video is definitely gonna be my go-to manual or a great reminder for injury prevention. Thanks so much, coach Nate
Thank you! Could you do a video about all the aspects of mental and physical tiredness? I think it’s something very common to deal with and also very complex to treat I guess…
Nonsense about warm ups, the worst thing you can do is warm up, stretch from a static situation, when the body is cold, a recipe for injury, start all runs with a slow jog, if you want to do exercises during run, fine, but it won’t make you a better runner.
I just want to thank you guys (if I haven’t already) for solid advice, without phony titles, thumbnails, and actual informative information. Keep it up!
Thank you for the tips I’ve been running for a month now and in the past few days I had a shins splints,this tips helps a lot.
oh its called a shin splint… i thought my shin muscles (?) were sore
Excellent channel, I’m running for a year now and channels like this make it so much more enjoyable and supportive. Many thanks for all your great advice and info.
Great video. Simple, to the point and fun! Clearly 17 people came here by accident, hehe
The people who fitted me for shoes, just looked at my feet and said I was a nuetral runner, or something like that. I did not even run.
I’m really trying to get into running and I appreciate your commentary and videos
I think you’re overestimating “new” runners. Multiple miles? Chafing? Professional running shoes?
These are not tips for new runners. I’m barely able to run a mile right now without collapsing. This is the experience most people who are new.
Doing exercise about 3-4 times a week still because you both
Nice video. I’m 15. Should I focus more on negative splits or improving my time?
Facing upward was also a common mistake for runners like me. Its happening to me when my body is already tired. And is needed more air. Sorry for my grammar
Sweet video, I have a question. I just got my first minimal shoes (vapor gloves) and am using a lot of your advice so thank you. I am trying to run at a 180 cadence but find it hard to not run fast. I usually run a 10 minute or so mile in this stage of getting back into running but am getting into 8 1/2 minute miles. Should I be increasing speed this much? Will my body learn to naturally slow down a bit after getting used to the cadence? Can you run slower with a higher cadence? Thanks I love your videos you are an inspiration, no sheep in my shed anymore!
Awesome thanks a lot!
Please can you make a video how to choose correct shoes please?
Can you run faster with minimal shoes then going barefoot? Im wondering why you would wear shoes..
you should not have such large “pump” muscles, because the weight is no good for fast, long runs 😉
I’m a big guy(300lbs) and have set a goal to hike the AT(2200mi) in 2 years. I have started with walking for about 3-5 miles a day with proper nutrition and have been doing so for 2 months and have only adjusted the speed at which I walk. I even got two pairs of shoes fitted for rotation from a store that specializes in running they checked for gait and 3D printing of my feet, and I’ve never felt shoes so comfortable in my life. Today was the first day I added interval jogging (15 seconds length) and felt so amazing, somewhat motivational. It’s a very small amount compared to others for sure, but it’s my journey and one that I think I’m finally going to be successful in. Thanks for the tips.
Or you could get barefoot shoes so your feet can strengthen and move naturally
I have really bad feet 3 surgeries and need more cushion.I just started running in the Hoka rincon but thanks for reminding me to not stick to such a heavily padded shoe. I know I could use to put on a light and mid range sole alternately
Great vids as always! I had a similar varicose vein on both of my legs. Got them removed, actually burnt with laser. It was a relief! Don’t wait too long to get your removed. I guess you are a tall guy, I am 193 cm, this is usual for tall people! Take care bro!
Guilty for having coffee when I wake up.. although I do drink water alongside with it! Great video
Hi there! I know this is a superficial question, but did minimalist/forefoot running help your calves get bigger/the current shape you have? (That’s one of my main goals when running ^^)
Thanks so much for your videos, by the way. I’m new to minimalist running (starting with NB Minimus shoes; loving them so far) and have found that running isn’t the chore that it used to be when I was back in high school! Channels like yours really help transform people!
Still working on the stride thing. The knee strain is healing.
Is he just really red…or did they not correct the colours in the video?
Hey man! I’ve watched all your videos and really appreciate them. I’ve been dealing with reoccurring injures the last few years and have been working on my form and have also recently given Vibram’s a try, love them! I’ve followed theirs and your instructions on working my way into them. I have a long way to go but recently my first few runs outside have been amazing! I love the freedom my feet feel in them as well as the ground feel. I am definitely not a sheep as you say when it comes to running. Appreciate what you do and keep up the great work! Thanks, John from Indiana U.S.
Great video.. hubby is listening behind me and commenting ‘that’s what you used to do’ cheers love
Great advice Steve and love how you keeping it real as usual.
Damn it. Well, two days ago, I swam, then ran, then played 9holes of golf while drinking 3 beers. Then that evening did an 20min threshold test on the bike trainer. Oops
Remember, start slow. Don’t try to run a 5 min mile and then get disgusted that u can’t do it and never try again.
Awesome advice mate! really good tips where are you on the beach? look cracking
can anyone else not run in nikes? like last time i tried running in them i got an awful ankle injury because of how flat and thin the soles of the shoes were
What kind of recording set up do you use? The sound quality is pretty good
Such a timely video Nate! I was laughing hard because I’m totally hitting a wall with my running and I’m guilty of all of these things! I put way to much pressure on myself by comparing myself to others as well. Thanks so much for this wakeup call!
Like many things in life, do you research before you start and gather as much information as you can so then you’re able to make good choices. It took me a while, and a few injuries, to realise that information is key.
Your response regarding barefoot running with Plantar F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hbx2SlnHeo
I’m not on Strava, and I’m glad. It would end up doing me more harm than good. And I’ll look into the idea of more minimalist shoes. I’ve been a little resistant because of a history of grade 1 soleus strains. But maybe for shorter runs they be ok? Also, just for everyday activity and walking, I wonder what would be a good sneaker?
Here are a 3 mistakes of mine that culminated to my current achilles injury:
1. Constantly running on pavement instead of soft surfaces (i.e., dirt trails)
2. Not giving enough recovery days between running.
3. Not performing post-run stretches
What’s healing my injury:
1. Self massage on achilles tendon
2. Compression
3. Calf-stretches
4. Soaking injury in warm water and epsom salt once a day.
i made the exact same mistake last year march(age 35) when i started picking up running. TOO FAST.
I got the impression of running = fast, as what i observed some other runners in the park. jogging is for old people or folks cooling down.
I was suffering with my stamina progression, lasting 15mins for 2km. Although i lowered the intensity a bit but i still kept running fast. I eventually reached 5km distance by Aug in sub 30mins. My time/pace improvement was slow as by Dec i’m doing 27min 5k, and im prerry much stuck at this distance.
This year Feb i discovered MAF and low heart rate run, changed my pacing and using HR as reference, sand progressing from 5k to HM distance by June.
Heck my 5k is going down to 24mins now.
It’s not how fast you go it’s how far you go! A quote from Dean Kanassis ultra runner.: )
Happy Running & Happy Trails!
If you suffer from blisters caused by toes that are rubbing then try toe socks. They gave me a new lease of running life.
Great advice! A friend who is recovering from hip replacement said that she switches up surfaces so that she doesn’t put too much pressure on her hip. I hadn’t thought about that. I will definitely do this. I am starting training for a half marathon this week.
Running slow (conversational pace) for 75-85% of your weekly miles is the #1 tip for new runners. It helps you learn to love running, helps prevent injuries, and helps you see the most improvement. Literally before you know it you’ll be crushing 5ks and 10ks and thinking about marathons. Those who think they are speed kings and make every run hurt will get injured and quit more often than not.
Thanks Coach Nat, one of the best running injury prevention videos for beginner runners on the net ive seen for a long time,
I did my last km in my 10k last year as a PB it was amazing! I hope to do the same again this year
oh my godIm recovering from an injury on my right leg and i was wondering if that side always hurts because of the side of the road/etc im running onwow!
Ha, I was also lacing my running shoes like I was going to play or coaching soccer. I had to get over the feel of my feet having mobility while running…makes a huge difference.
Really need some help on running. 50 with asthma and for life of me I cannot get a 5k under 37 minutes. I actually was already following this information unknowingly (I do need to stretch and warm up more though), but no matter what I do I cannot break the habit of ‘short striding’ and getting tired in the run, and yes it gets worse as the run goes on, especially at around 3 1/2k. Its almost psychological but at the same time I hit a slight incline as well… Just lost on how break this.
I think the biggest problem runners have is heel striking. The ankle is a natural spring that relieves pressure in the knees and hips, and it’s function is negated with all these cushioned shoes and heel running. For thousands of years our ancestors ran daily and they didn’t have half the problems we do today, what happened?
I used my first pair of running shoes for 1000 miles before realizing that was probably playing a big factor in my injuries. That along with not getting a foam roller until after it was too late.
I’m learning soo much from your videos, I’m trying to be a runner slowly but mainly walking at the moment since my achilles got sore. Am doing more strength training now so that I can start to run more. I’m in my 50s and have always wanted to be a runner but failed miserably mostly.
I made a little mistake of going from non-runner right to the marathon. 5 marathons later I’m now all about 5K-focused training with an annual 10K my target thing. On a side note It’s the 10K complement to a marathon so I can be done in 45 minutes and then casual spectators will think that I won the marathon as I’m walking back to the hotel with a medal.
Cool intro to the video great advice for beginners and a great reminder for the not-so-beginners. Used your breathing in and out through the nose trick just this morning to keep myself honest with my warmup pace
I use to be able to go out and run 10 miles without having to warm up at all when I was in my late teens. Now I’m older my legs take some serious warming up. They feel like lead for the first 2 miles or so
Why do I get exhausted and have to walk after running for just about 2.5 miles even at a slow pace?! What might I be doing wrong?
I’ve only been running 2 years but this is one of the best running tips videos I’ve seen. Really helpful tips here.
Great video kinda like mine on my channel, yours was better though
For me, the 1st 1.5kms are the hardest. Probably because I am not warmed up properly. Thereafter I run at a decent pace.
People don’t understand what easy pace is. Seen so many people never develop their aerobic system because they run at 90% effort on moderate days, and 85% on ‘easy’ days. Even the nasal breathing is misleading because many people can breathe through nose at mid 80% effort. Even Nate is breathing too hard if this is actually an easy run, so don’t use this as a valid comparison. Slow way way down and build that base, with a HRM to keep you honest, then slowly build up mileage with two hard workouts a week and take it easy the other days. Rinse and repeat with slow volume increases and you’ll be a monster in 12 months.
I started running at the same age, elementary/ junior high. I was quite fast when I was younger, but lost it in my early 20s. I still trained and raced every year, but not well. It’s only this year, at 42, that I’m actually FOLLOWING a plan, doing different types of runs. It’s also the first year I incorporated an active warmup. And wouldn’t you know I’m rediscovering some of my childhood speed and endurance! Your channel helped so much, thanks!
Hello, ive recently subscribed to you, im 16, and have decided i want to do road running, i brought some running shoes, and i have given it a few attempts, however, my cardio isnt great, and after a few hundred meters, my shins started to hurt quite suddenly and quite badly. Im currently looking at what i can do to stop this. If anyone has any idea how i can stop my shins hurting please do help, i think im flat footed a bit aswell. Thankyou, btw its a brilliant video
When I first started running I made a rookie mistake: drop heavy or bulky items that impede speed and maneuverability.
You dont get to keep the tv if the cops catch you. It’s far better to grab something small..
♂️
the guy running in the video keeps looking at the female like he wants to murder her. lol
Love these videos thank you so much! This just motivated me to run in this Florida heat
Nate runs so easily. #goals I’m learning that slowing down has its place. Also I have to take stretching and strengthening seriously, before an injury takes me out. Thanks Coach!
Wait…this was posted a day ago…and they made a comment about if “Lebron James sees this video” umm… seriously? That’s not going to ever happen considering he died in a helicopter crash back in November I believe. It was all over the media. (Sorry for focusing on that lol it just really stuck out to me)
Other than that, great tips!
A tip to you, don’t record the lady running and then show her unless she knows you’re recording her that would be a bit creepy and f you didnt
Hey guys!! Thanks for the video!! Do you have any tips for flat feet? I would really like to start running but I know I have bad posture and flat feet. Also, I don’t think it would be rude at all to mention to your running neighbor about her poor posture. You should say something along the lines of “Hey, My name is How’s it going. I’m a physical therapist and I run a very successful educational YouTube channel. I have a tip for you that will help your running.” Then explain the improved posture position. Anyway, thanks guys. I hope you see my comment and maybe send me a chat back!
I think maybe I do all the above:( Some things to work on. Crap posture check. Heel striker, yep. Too much vertical, I do that too. Long legs, long stride, yep. Intervals, forget to vary stuff. Speed work, hate breathing like a guppy so don’t do that either.
If you EVER see me running try to keep up. There’s something terrible about to happen.
so you’re both in your 70’s/60’s? o.o cool ty for the tips:D I miss doing 2 1/2 mile runes with 1 mile warm ups:D
I am not a fast runner. More like 9min/mile guy, I find it difficult to keep it slow more like keeping 9:45min/mile consistently. Any suggestions on how slow it down without disrupting my running form/rhythm.
Feeling inspired to get my minimalist trail shoes on again. Had a baby almost 3 months ago. Said I would wait till she’s 3 months old till I start running again. Iv always said I would like/ aiming to be able to run half in the woods again by the end of the year.♀️
Can someone tell me the name of the other book Bob and Brad mentioned besides Born to Run?
i just started running and my first 2 runs were together 25km and im going to run half maraton next summer and i am 14years old
Does having flat feet change anything. For example landing on the forefoot/heel or not running barefoot and only with stability shoes
Hi I love watching you guys! I sometimes run. But I don’t have enough stamina. So I usually need to walk some and then job.
Great tips! As a long time runner trying to stay nice and relaxed so your muscles don’t tense up is key! Important to check in every few minutes as you’d be surprised how quick it changes!
What about “Marathon Man” with Dustin Hoffman? I thought his hands were odd but a friend told me that it was a highly advanced technique to stay relaxed.
Fully agree the first mile slower. Running 6 miles a day at the moment and it is an excellent way of warming muscles up for people like me who don’t stretch. Also trainers. After years of trying different brands North Face trail trainers for me.
I got my ego deleted by this magnificent video. 3 weeks and half of running, I hit the 5.65 miles marker under 50 minutes. Now my right leg is kinda broken, my knees hurt, I should have been more wiser, that crazy energy I get while running, the expectation of the high, the mental fortitude. Now I know that I must be more systematic. I am going to be stretching longer and better, doing some core and leg workout to get them strong. Thanks for the video, good runs everybody!
After watching this video I just wonna go out n run! Thanks for the inspiration man!:-)
Yeah Bob, hide in the bushes and secretly film her and then come out stammering “I’ve been filming your p…p..pos…pos…posture” and show her.
Question: can you record and upload your videos from prison?
1 Outdoors before treadmill
2 Run free for pleasure forget times
3 Forget pain and reduce impact
4 Plenty of sleep and rest
5 Stay away from traffic
6 Stop and rest as you please
It’s kind of similar to what children do. Exercise through play.
you should demonstrate the transition for heel to toe running….I think Native Americans ran this way
Are there any surfaces that should be avoided? Are concrete and asphalt potentially injurious to the feet and joints? I would think that the best surface to run on is a track surface, but tracks probably are inaccessible to most people. And I would think that running on grass or dirt is the next best thing, as long as it doesn’t have any rabbit holes, rocks, or other unexpected irregularities.
In winter I like a windbreaker over fleece over cotton over tech. That way the sweat goes into the cotton and the fleece traps heat while the windbreaker fends off wind and rain.
Regarding #10, a saddle chair is a great help to open the hips (or keep them open). That with a standing desk both can prevent posture issues from sitting all day. Cheers!
I do Muay Thai and basketball as additional exercises to my 40k per week.
I notice my endurance & speed benefit a lot from these two.
I’ve been really trying to get my cardio up by doing workouts but I want to increase my stamina with running as well. The issue I have is breathing and running technique. I tend to land on the balls of my feet towards my toes rather than my mid foot, is this bad or is it situationally beneficial? What is the science behind it?
Great video btw
In a previous running class we were told to run and pretend our hands were holding a small bag of Fritos that we didn’t want to break. Also, I’ve used Running Experience here on YouTube to help with my running technique.
You know you have problems when after running a half marathon you come home shower ear and watch your videos. I love your channel. Full of great tips, information and motivation. thank you!
My cross country coach (who was also my school librarian) gave me the book Born to Run and to this day it is the best running book I’ve ever read. I definitely recommend it!
From being a state competitor a number of times for track and cross country, I’m coming back to running because of lifting injuries! Love to see this kind of content on YouTube:)
Share your worst running mistakes with us in the comments below
I started running 5 months ago. I’m now regularly running 10km and twice done a 15km run, all around 8.00/8.40mi/m. However, I’m suffering from stiffness in the right knee and a niggling pain down my inner thigh as I make contact with the floor.
I always stretch before and afterwards.
Could I be guilty of too much too soon?
Any advice? Iv decided to take 2 weeks rest and plenty of stretching
Always have a Jelly Baby just before I run ♂️ And one very 5k on longer runs
Hello, could you do a video on how to AVOID losing weight when taking up running? The world is obsessed with being thin and I can’t find a video anywhere for those of us who.. Shock horror….. Want to do excersize but aren’t motivated by losing weight (controversial, I know). I realise it’s a bit niche but you’ll be the only vid on Internet covering this so might get a niche audience. Many thanks
Great advice! I would love to see a video on how to breathe when running
I mistakenly drank Red Bull and tea before the SF Bay to Breakers once. I was using the stalls like mad!
This isn’t running, but…
When I was a teen, occasionally we’d have early ice hockey games at 8am in the morning. We’d quickly stop at a mcdonald’s beforehand, and eat breakfast. We then do warmups and gear up an hour before the game. But I always felt breakfast in my stomach and when I sweated during the games, I swear I smelled like a hashbrown (and felt like one lol) We didn’t do this often, but it happened enough haha
Sensible advice from a channel I’m really enjoying. Please keep up the high quality vids.
Thank you so much! Your channel is amazing! Keep up the good work!
I once drank orange juice about an hour before running, as you may guess resulting was regrettable. In my defense this happened as a teenager.
Don’t eat watermelon before going out for a run. Just don’t.
When it comes to eating and running, what do you guys do to train your stomach to take in food on the course?
I started running, ran as slow as I could to the point of exhaustion walking to warm up and cool down, ran 0.4 one day, 0.4 two days later, then finally!! 0.5 on the sixth day. I got shin splints and now I can barely walk:))) so how is this supposed to be possible exactly…I can’t take it any easier
I have a question..I use do some jogging and now my heel is burning and getting sweaty which never happen. I didn’t change anything socks shoes. Then I quickly changed it and still nothing.??
When I first started running, I made the mistake of going out way too hard. I would try to keep up with my teammates who had been training for months when I was on day 1, I was so sore I couldn’t walk for a week! My biggest advice is to start out with what you’re comfortable with, then once you get that solid base you can start pushing yourself:)
Great tips, I just made a blog post today about choosing the right shoes for running. Strength training is important for maintaining muscle strength and creating a well-rounded workout.
Thanks guys, bit late to the party, oh well… This is mainly common sense though I would say as a casual runner, I do actually perform better running having a pint of lagar (just 1) the night before it actually improves my performance, who knew.
I haven’t done a tri yet but in cycling as well most of these apply, I have thrown up in one of my first races due to eating, love your guys segment on breakfast or fasting, but after that throw up I have been a faster, and that caffeine bit is no joke, here on big island Hawaii last thing you want is to be racing in the kona heat with 5k in to a race and now you got bubble guts….
I became obsessed with times and ran myself into the ground:(
Turn the music down next time please. It is very distracting.
Had my first half marathon last October had a family gathering the night before couldn’t resist a curry and a pint unfortunately I couldn’t get it out of me the morning before the race didn’t make it any better by having a coffee just before the run either ended up having to make a toilet stop for a #1 after 3 miles and thought i’d hold out for the number #2. My body had other ideas and after not seeing a portaloo for miles there was one at the mile 12 marker and I just had to get it out of me! Moral of the story don’t have a curry and beer the night before!
No chowing down a bag of Cheetos as pre-run fuel source! Got sick not even 10% through the run =(
also, would you guys ever do a beer mile? That would be cool to watch you guys attempt one haha
I would add putting on after shave / hair gel because it will burn the eyes when you start to sweat.
Brighton beach looking good mate, going to have to visit the area again soon.
Don’t eat high fibre foods before your runs or you will feel like you are getting the runs!!!
No consumption of dairy products 2hrs before a run. I have some bad memories about it. Best pre run snack Banana bread with peanut butter. Works wonders!
Haha, “do not consider going for a bike ride before going for a run”:D. Made my day!
Hehe, done all of them except for the e-mail one:-) One occasion with cereal and 0.7 dl of milk was exceptionally discomforting:-D
Recently found out that the best way to keep a hangover at bay was to go out for a run the morning after! Not too sure that’ll last past my student days though!
Really nice Tips, also had to laugh multiple times! Thanks Guys! I’m Improving more and more through your awesome videos.
Fashion police ♂️♀️ “Step away from the turquoise slippers”. Seriously dude
You clearly never ran the Bierathlon! 3litres of beer and 7km:) http://www.bierathlon.ch/cms/index.php It gets messy!
My biggest mistake was the start of the race. Always wanted to take off fast to get a good spot. One thing my couch told me is if you can sprint the last 100m or so, that means you didn’t run your hardest during the race.
Things to do before a run: prd. You’ll regret it if you forget it.
