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.
Deep Squats are the best! Mobility 101 for RUNNING! Thank you for this video. I have multiple deep squat tutorials/videos on my channel! Enjoy!
This was really detailed, thank you for taking the time to break it down for us beginners!
Great video guys and ladies of run experience. Perfect video for me. Your guys videos have helped me drop almost 50lbs in 7 months and get me back into shape from my military days of 10 years ago. Thank you for all you do and take care and god bless!!
Wow Great job! And Great Advice! Keep Pushing forward #worldsOkayestrunner
Love these videos, going to try a different trail today. It’s so true when you do the same ones it feels a little boring, and I find myself looking at the clock way more. Thank you for all the tips! Super helpful
Always have a Jelly Baby just before I run ♂️ And one very 5k on longer runs
Great interview, with a lot of interesting advice. Thanks for the upload.
People say social media is bad…they’ve not seen these coaches.
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?
I know when I stretch I don’t get side stitches….but it’s so hard
solid advice i switch up my rest days every month so im not dreading the first run back after a day off
i had noticed that i ALWAYS feel less out of breath and more energetic when i breathe through my nose while running! at least at first
very informative! You have lovely hair for a runner! I have always had hair loss after running!
Coach Nate the Great had to keep looking back to make sure he wasn’t about to get attacked by a dog
You clearly never ran the Bierathlon! 3litres of beer and 7km:) http://www.bierathlon.ch/cms/index.php It gets messy!
Always love all the pre/post stretchings and movements you guys teach us from Run Experience!!! Thanks a lot, coach Nate.
Great Vid! The amount of people who need to improve in this great details its a lot. Grat to catch a responsible coach like u dudessss
11:30 The best advice I’ve heard in a while! I needed that!
Love the vids and as much the scenery you have on your doorstep, thanks:-)
Heres a mistake for you: You dont need to run, while making a video about running.
So annoying to listen to this crap….
I have a question. I have done the applesauce squeezables. Are they good too or are the banana ones better? Do I need to take water with those? I do my long runs (19+ miles) now (winter time) and I am good without water or fuel. Summer time I need the water. I am just not a fan of carrying water. My first and only marathon I hit the wall going into 22 and I really need to make sure that doesn’t happen. I’m trying to BQ this March and I really enjoyed this video. It’s very informative. Thank you.
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!
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
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
Sorry guys. Quick spelling correction: coccyx squat is really cossack squats! Also which one of these four things do you think YOU need to do the most to make your run great?
Thanks Coach Nat, one of the best running injury prevention videos for beginner runners on the net ive seen for a long time,
Loved this Coach Nate, so natural and relaxed, and I definitely relate to so much of this! Sharing with my running group.
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.

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.
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
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.
Do you find that you get enough water at the stations? My marathon this Sunday provides water at every two miles, but I’m still considering using a handheld bottle like I’ve been using for my long runs during training. I’m also not sure the quality of water they provide, and if could give me a stomach ache. My bottle water works great, but it would be nice not having that extra weight. Also, how would I refill it around the 15 mile mark. Dang, I’m stumped here.
Fantastic video… very interesting to hear his assessment of what amateurs call easy runs and hard runs.. they are so very close in reality where the elites are well spaced… Saying that I still find it incredible that people run that fast anyway…
Great video. Truck driver does Triathlon. Me. Still sitting though. Lol
Sorry, but the app subscription is just way too expensive in South Africa.
Guilty of not paying attention to strength training and ending with a calf tear 3 weeks before my marathon Lesson definitely learned for next time!
Turn the music down next time please. It is very distracting.
Great video kinda like mine on my channel, yours was better though
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
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
The most important thing he said…”Make the hard days hard and the easy days easy” I did that last year and got a 5K PR three times. I was training for a marathon in September then I ran three 5Ks the rest of the year. Each 5K earned me a new PR. Then I ran a course PR for my first race, a half marathon, in January. It really works.
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.
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.
Tip for beginners get fitted for proper running shoes. Struggled for years running, new coach suggested getting a fitting. It was like flipping a switch…
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!
Share your worst running mistakes with us in the comments below
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.
Hi, this video was very helpful. I’m going to do my first half marathon in Dubai. How many gels should I take with me? I have isotonic and electrolyte but don’t want to carry too much. Also do you think I should carry water with or is this overkill, considering there are drink stations throughout? Thanks a lot.
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
Caffeine: thinks it will boost me up but makes me want to poop and pee none stop
An excellent info and advice. I gave learnt a lot. Thank you.
What an awesome video, so informative and easy to understand!
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!
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.
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
#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
During a long distance run I drink water, energy drink and eat a snickers chocolate bar… simple as that.
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
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 the video! Definitely going to incorporate these into my pre and post runs
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….
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)
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
This is very useful It is a balancing act for the stomach. I ran 2 marathons and hit the wall badly. Didn’t know I don’t have to hit the wall
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.
Why did I find your chanel so late?! Thanks a lot for all these great tips and insights! Greetings from Germany
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!
I became obsessed with times and ran myself into the ground:(
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
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
Really nice Tips, also had to laugh multiple times! Thanks Guys! I’m Improving more and more through your awesome videos.
In college we used to give blood and then go for a short run. It required a lot less beer afterwards. 😉
Definitely going to try this out. I have always told people who hate running. It’s probably because you think it has to be hard or your doing too much right off the bat. They look at me funny when I tell them. It’s ok to walk if the run feel too hard. Thanks coach.
Can I go fast on a brick run? Maybe stedy for 5 min and then hit it
Maybe an odd question, but how do you what works for you? I’ve been using gels and I’ve been feeling okay: is that proof enough that it works for me?
Nutrition is such a minefield, thanks for your guidance!
No one’s born fit, healthy, or a genius it takes a lifetime to learn and become the person you want to see in this world (That last part was from the new Kim possible movie).
I made the mistake of ignoring the pain. Major shin splint 5 weeks in. Having to take 2 weeks off so I’ve been biking and using elliptical. Here is my training video for my first 1/2 marathon..
https://youtu.be/6yS8FNiv-J0
It’s all a learning experience
Yep, great advice here! I wish I had followed this a couple of months ago, that would have meant I didn’t get all the Achilles issues I have been facing recently… I’m still on track to do my Guinness World Record marathon next month though!!
Great video Nate! I am definitely going to add these stretches for future runs.
My right foot akilles tendon is really bad.
Some 9 years ago I had to completely stop running and could only walk with intense pain.
The doctors I talked to said I had to stop running, and most likely woild never run again. One even wanted to do surgery wit only a 50% chanse of improvement.
I was a soldier since age 20 and SF since age 25, so a life without physical activity was not fun.
So I started biking.
And it quickly made miracles to my achilles.
After 6 month I could actually run at a steady state pace for short distances.
Keeping up with the biking, I can keep my achilles happy, but without biking it comes back.
Also when I move up a plateau, I have to take extra time to bike more for a periode.
But it works!!!
One year ago from being a couch potato I started running. My objective was to loose extra weight and get under 25 BMI as recommended by my physician. I ended up loosing 35 lbs, achieved 25 BMI and also completed half marathon last December Now my objective is to increase my speed and hope your food advise will help me a lot. Your video is very helpful.
Just finished my first half marathon. Training for full marathon, you guys think it’s possible to get a under 3 hour finish for first time? check out my page as I will be posting training videos. Would appreciate a sub!
Mam I don’t know how to push myself in long marathon in same speed….?
This channel has gotten so much better since I first stumbled upon it about a year ago. The video editing is more professional without seeming overly produced; very authentic. And the advice has been solid, for me. In particular dealing with achilles tendinitis. You all saved me a world of hurt and setbacks. Now I am much more consistent dealing with this trouble area. Thanks for all the great information and tips. Keep up the great work!!!
Running my first 1/2 this sunday (love Run) def gonna try out babyfood…hope I don’t crash. thanks for the info!
Can we use pain relief spray during marathon and after marathon.
Thank you for always putting together informative videos. This one in particular helps remind me to listen to my body and tune in to when recovery is needed.
Important to remember weather condition greatly affecting heart rate and need to be taken into account when training.
Your videos are fantastic! this + the one on pacing helped me achieve my first sub 2 half marathon today! thank you so much or sharing!!!
Taren, you must have been reading my mind I was just asking myself I wonder when he’s going to do another video about beginning running ! Great video and I really love the commercial. I will be ordering me some Sox tonight
Great advice Did park Run at the weekend and rolled my ankle knew straight off to ✋ Will try some of Nate’s ankle strengthening when it’s better
Thanks Taren very good and informative video. I need to work on my running a lot more!!!!!!!! I dont like running at all…… Love your dogs!!! <3
omg how did u know i was searching for marathon videos on ur channel . Its on nov 18 i m training hard. Please make short videos. Make video on increase stamina and tips before marathon
I’ve learned to cut back on long runs when things don’t go to plan. I do try to stick to the training plan as best I can however. I’d rather make it to the start line than be injured
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.
Been using Apple Watch and Runkeeper app to monitor heart rate as well. Try to keep easy runs between 140 and 150 beats per minute. Seems to correlate to conversation pace and also being able to breathe through my nose. So far I’ve been fairly injury free.
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?
Hi Taren. Does running cadence actually matter? I run my sprints with a 4:55/km. Is a cadence of about 160 to low?
Isn’t only running fast & long a guarantee for running injuries?
Where are your manners sir LOL! Bless you Petey lol I really like the videos
Is the fast run can be a tempo run ( for example tempo 10 k for an Olympic ) or should it be a very fast run ( 30s / 30s )?
Sorry for the english i am french
Seeing a naked torso used to make me feel sick. But now I find that those shirtless running guys are usually guys who are fit and good looking.
Thanks for the info, Taren. You know what? Good advice regarding tucking the butt in. Tried it today and my lower back feels less tense.
Good tips. you seem to have got a strong heel strike on that treadmill shot. maybe because you are on the treadmill?
When it comes to eating and running, what do you guys do to train your stomach to take in food on the course?
I find that no matter how many times you tell your athletes that they’re running their easy runs too hard they still can’t grasp the concept of how easy you really have to go!
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.
Running a marathon in 12 weeks and my goal is to get close to 4 hours. That’s a 9min/mile pace. My 5-6 mile long runs now are around 11min/mile. Should I continue to increase a mile or so per week on long runs and spend my 3 mile week day runs recovering and working down to a 8min/mile(ish) 5k pace? Or should I not aim for a 4 hour marathon? Thanks for all of your videos!
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
Raced my first ever half this weekend as a prep run 4 weeks out from my first marathon. Ran 1:42 at about 80% effort. (it was 83 degrees by end of race down here in So GA) What do you think of my goal of sub 4 hours for my first effort in November?
very helpful thank you, the info on when to use the gu and so on will be a big help
Thanks for the video a ciclist who just started doing triatlon also the video of higher cadence while running tried it,and it eliminated my knee pain during my runs
Hi teren. Help
Can you please do some research. after the third mile I started getting pain in foot 3 small tows. I have no pain b4or after.i use 3 tayp of sneakers.its with all of them.if I change my sride to hill strike it helps a little.
Please help thanks Jacob
Great tips! When I started training with a HRM and would do long runs on the trails, it was really counterintuitive to walk runnable uphill portions of it, but it really is important to keep the HR nice and low and consistent on those long run to build endurance.
Thanks for the info, I did half marathon hit the wall at 19km, now i know to add sports drinks or gews, I did see some runners squeezing something into their mouths. lol
You were kinda distracting me from the dogs. You really crave attention, don’t you?
I’m going into my third season. Just now really taking the time to train smarter. I thought I was not running enough. I’ll do 10k runs and my fast runs are usually bricks. Good to hear I kinda know what I’m doing lol. Thanks for all the great videos and training tips the past two years!! Shooting
For a 1:10 sprint time and my first half marathon this summer.
I was trying to run a slow 7 miles (11ish k) up a canyon yesterday when I encountered a badger. My run quickly turned into a sprint in the other direction.
You said that you were told to do your long runs at around 35 bpm what % of your max heart rate is this?
having my Garmin Forerunner 35 has made running enjoyable because I pay attention to my HR during runs and if I get over a certain BPM, I back off. Allows me to pace myself better -using this vid info for half marathon training as well.
#6 run all of your runs on tarmac, the track and concrete, get a stress fracture and dont be able to run for months, before you sloooowly build yourself up again, and do the same all over again. You can also use a slegde hammer to smash your feet, bones and knees, works good.
(or you can run some of your workouts on a softer surfaces. 5-10% incline on the treadmill, grass, sand, and nice trails… I run up to 5-7 times a week (10-15hours) without any injuries)
note: i am not a triathlete, but i do run
When Ian talks, I listen. A top bloke. Even his assistant coaches are world class (Zach and Ellie). With a great sense of humor ( 14:41) I believe he holds many of the fastest “Elvis” marathon records!
What about carnivore diet? Do you think that diet could sustain a good energy level for a marathon?
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!
Bananas seem to work really well for me pre-run. They seem to give me energy for a long time. Then I move on to gels but they don’t seem to last long. Think I’ll try the baby food bananas lol
Hi guys! Am planning my first ultra in april but am not sure what to eat during training and during the race. I run a lot so the mental part I don’t see as a problem. Thing is, my stomach cannot handle too much sugar and gels etc (tried that on a marathon some years ago). These last few years I do most of my long runs on an empty stomach or with a vegateble-based sports drink called nitro ndure. Any suggestions on what to eat and drink while training and for the race itself, preferably not sugar-based?
Great tips, thank you for sharing. I am planning on running my first half marathon next year. Nervous but excited.

We would love to send you some NuttZo products to help you stay fueled for your half or full marathon! Please feel free to email me at: katie@ nuttzo.com.
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.
At the risk of sounding like an amateur can I apply these to a shorter distance? I only ask, as I’ve noticed similarities with my half-marathon training too particularly the warm-up/cool-down and ‘right milage for you’ aspects… Struggling a bit with ‘what I should be doing’… Thanks guys.
I been running short distances almost 20 years and completed five half marathons in the last 2 years but never a full. After choosing to shoot for a full marathon, I followed this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). Book very informative and lots of great ideas. I had been able to finish my first marathon and got to a Boston marathon..
8 mile > 13 Miles > 18 Miles > 23 Miles.. i will remember that! It will be my first full marathon in Vancouver this Sunday,
Why not water with a lemon in? That was the gatorade from the past:-) Cheap and more healthy i think?
I just got up to running 10K. It takes me about 53 minutes to run and I don’t drink or eat anything during the run…should I be?
The Honey Chews don’t even last me 20 minutes. Gels work much better. But I didn’t know about pretzels and baby food! Thanks!!☺
I am training for my first half marathon in August 2019. Great video a lot of good info.
Great advice. Clear voice. Im doing my 2nd half marathon tomorrow
WTF!? Why is this dumb bitch talking about a full marathon? Supposed to be half marathon advice….DUMB ASS
Just found your channel, thanks for the awesome helpful motivation video, I just subscribed to you any chance you could subscribe to me, I’m trying to get past 20 subscribers haha
This video was awesome. And I love the bananas baby food. That was on believable because I love bananas they digest really good for me but they’re hard to carry.
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.
Your hair looks amazing! Thanks for the running advice my first half marathon is on Sunday x
Im running a race in a Foreign country and dont have access to those type.of manufactured products. Any suggestions on any simple Grocery store products i can use?
Excellent video lots of useful information training for a ultra marathon in June will definitely try some of these fuels thanks!
Appreciate the tips. I am not a goo fan so nice to have other options. Like the saltines tip! Will incorporate into my Broad Street Run training.
This is only the 2nd video of yours I’veseen, and I can tell that you are very knowedlgable in this field. I have learned alot from you. You are very professional in your videos. Great job! It is nice to meet you.
Pretty much toasted . Will try the baby food. Beautiful hair!
This Is the most helpful and practical video I’ve seen on this subject. Thank you.
Thank you very much! Today I ran 21k and for the first time in my life I don’t feel like crap afterwards. This video was a game changer.
21k worth of thank yous!
Yep, my biggest problem is keeping myself slower on my longer runs… What is your take an recover runs as a ‘third/fourth run’ each week?
Thanks so much for the tips! I found the information very useful!
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.
Excellent video! very informative and good advice on when to take what stuff!!
How can you NOT love this woman, very helpful, knowledgeable, and hot
Running first 1/2 M this Monday. Thanks for all the fuel tips!!
i only began running in jan 2017 due to no longer having a cycle (car driver on phone hit me at over 60mph and almost took my leg) and had managed my first marathon distance by the end of April. i currently run at least one marathon a week plus lots of smaller fast runs.
from experience:
1. use shoes that are 1/2 to 1 size larger than usual as your feet will swell up
2. band aids around your toes will help stop blisters forming
3. toenails as short as possible. you will lose toenails
4. start your journey with few and easy runs or you will be injured. i learned the hard way that your cardiovascular system improves a lot faster than your musculoskeletal systemso you have then energy to go for many kms/miles but your body isnt strong enough
5. drink and fuel before it is needed
6. no static stretching before a run. something like skipping or running on the spot but bringing your knees to your chest is better
7. dont stop and stand still halfway through a marathon as your legs will seize. if you get tired slow down and walk. it is helpful to take long stretching strides if you walk
8 invest in foam roller. never underestimate the power and bliss of instant massage as soon as a run is over.
9. have a protein drink ready to consume as soon as the race / run is over
10. numbers 8 and 9 will help your recovery and allow you to walk tomorrow
11. try to train for above a marathon. that way, when marathon day arrives you can think “ha, 26.2 miles i could moonwalk that with a baby elephant on my back”
12. remember it is only one more step to the end
my current goal is to improve my marathon time by almost an hour before april 2018 to try and qualify for boston. it isnt easy
Heading out for a lunch run in a few, this was great timing. Thanks so much!:)
Really never thought about banana baby food. That’s a great idea.
Need this, I’m on week 5 of my training plan. Starting to feel my right ankle a little. Gonna search for your video to help out with that. I have incorporated strength and mobility.
With the honey sticks there are companies that make them with Essential oils in them. They make them taste better and each EO has a different purpose. Orange is great for energy.
I once did a very hilly 5k whilst hungover. Not my best idea…
I’m training for my first half marathon and your videos have been very helpful. I do have a question, what is considered a good race time?
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
Two thumbs Maury information is helpful success! thanks Sasu!
Exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you so much for making this video. Very valuable.
Very informative, thanks. I’ve been interested in getting your app but have seen recent negative reviews on its functionality (not content). Have those issues been resolved?
Runners world had an article that talked about personal mileage limits, with examples of how it can range from 100 miles a week, or 11. That really put it into perspective how individual running is. I swapped out some miles for strength sessions. Finally getting stronger and finishing distances faster.
Thanks for this! As our event attracts runners from across the US, we will be sure and share your helpful video with them as the event draws near!
Things to do before a run: prd. You’ll regret it if you forget it.
Thank you so much, for all the info. I’m running my first full marathon this year. God bless you.
Outstanding advice which I will use for my upcoming Spartan Beast! Thank you!
I mistakenly drank Red Bull and tea before the SF Bay to Breakers once. I was using the stalls like mad!
well articulated advice having being a runner for 20 years and multiple marathons you never stop learning,well done
I have a pretty average diet, not focused strictly on high protein or high carbs or anything.
But I’ve noticed on weeks I cut out dairy(mostly glasses of milk) I feel better.
Has anyone else noticed dairy having adverse effects?
Thank you for this video! I am running my first half marathon next weekend and have been trying to figure out the whole fuel and nutrition thing. Also, your blog has been so helpful and inspiring to me as a newish runner.:)
Love the stretches to open up the hips and outer glutes. Exactly what I needed!
I see your sugar coated digg….New Flash….. Coming form the Ironman World…. this is “old” news.
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!
So much great advice in this video! Well worth viewing from beginning to end. Pacing during any race is so important, it’s what makes the difference. Pacing is also just as important during workouts as well. I always say you should start out hard and finish harder during a workout because it prepares you for race day when it is going to feel just like that.
Lots of very good advice. But that would not have been possible without your sharp questions, thank you!
Id say Claire’s always asking the right questions right for us mere mortals. Awesome!
I run a 50K in the mountains every year. What does he know that I don’t? A lot, as it turns out. Ian Sharman comes across as very likable, and all his advice makes perfect sense. He offers exactly what a lot of us need and may not have realized it: strategies that make sense & advice that one would obviously be a fool not to follow in training & on race day:
What are the biggest mistakes ultramarathoners make in training?
> Not realizing what the specifics of the race are. Mountains? Technical trails? Need to train for that.
> Heat or altitude? Need to adapt before the race.
> Is the race at a higher altitude than you’re used to? Show up a week in advance.
> Don’t run when injured.
What mistakes are they making during the race?
> Don’t start out too fast. If you go too slow at the start, you lose a little time. If you burn out in the start, you lose hours.
> Not eating enough in training runs. People run 20 miles and barely eat anything. Then in a 100-mile run they have to eat, but their body is not used to digesting and running. Their stomach is not used to it, their gut bacteria aren’t used to it. They’re not used to having to force themselves to eat to get through a race. Also have enough variation in it. Gels may work in a marathon, but can you do just gels for 100 miles? You need different tastes & textures over the longer time: sweet, savory, salty, hard food, race food, different drinks that work for you.
> Know who the sponsors are, so you’ll know what will be at the aid stations and can test that and either adjust to that or use crew or drop bags.
> You may get by on 100 calories/hr. or need 600 calories/hr. You need to know this and what your stomach can handle in advance.
> Test all your equipment. Headlamp (bulb, batteries, etc.), clothes that fit & don’t chafe, backpack that offers easy access.
> Improve your decision-making on the trail? (But how do you do that?!)
What about recovery?
> Don’t resume running too soon. Allow your body to dictate how much and how soon to run. At least 2 weeks of low running. Walk, bicycle, swim. Not pushing it, but getting the blood flowing around the muscles. Good nutrition. Not having the next race be too soon.
Most important advice?
> Make the easy days easier and the harder days harder. Need harder to improve and easier to recover. Running hard creates the stimulus for recovery and growth. Then you need to let that happen. 20% hard, 80% easy. If you run 5 days a week, that would be 1 hard, 4 easy.
Best advice I’ve seen in a long time great video great information
Advice from a proven champ of hundred-milers, yes please!! Thank you Mr Sharmin
Absolutely love this video. His advice is golden. Thanks so very much for sharing!!!
The best advice ever. He made so much sense. Also on topic at the end haha.
Haha, “do not consider going for a bike ride before going for a run”:D. Made my day!
It’s great that my father in law who got me to run marathons and do triathlons told me most of this advice. Always welcome his advice and seconded by a pro
Very nice videos! Finally some good tips and advices from a women on youtube, thank you. Best regards from the Czech Republic:-)
I got a stress fracture right before doing Muskoka 70.3 last year. Might try the split run idea this year, even for the 70.3 distance. Thanks for the tip!
Great video…… just starting my trail running adventures and this is valuable info! Hey maybe I need a coach:)
Hey Claire…great video for me! Will definitely be coming back to this one a few times in the future!
