The Difference Between Good Pain & Bad Pain Running
Video taken from the channel: The Run Experience
Severe Pain: 7 to 10. This pain is severe in nature and you can feel it before, during, and after exercise. The pain increases as you continue running and will typically cause you to limp.
You should never continue running when you feel this type of pain.They suggest pain during exercise should not reach more than 5 out of 10 (on a scale where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worse pain imaginable). This is based on earlier work on patellofemoral pain by Thommeé (1997) who created the scale below.
Next 24-48.If your pain is caused by muscle inflammation, it may be possible to continue running without risk of further tissue damage, he tells WebMD. But if you have a stress fracture, the pain may not go.After a particularly fast or long run, you may experience delayed onset muscle soreness, otherwise known as DOMS.
The accompanying muscle achiness typically lasts 24–48 hours and sometimes extends up to 72 hours. Don’t fear — this type of soreness is not a bad sign.Pain is typically a precursor to injury. Therefore, pain is your body’s way of communicating (or even screaming, if you will) that you should stop what you are doing immediately before things get worse.
Running through pain can lead to injuries.The only time it can be beneficial to run through pain is during rehabilitation, when you may need to overcome a little initial stiffness to regain the muscle’s flexibility.Some knee pain is OK to run through, and other pain requires rest. Either way, you need to work on fixing any running-related knee pain ASAP.
Pain during physical activity is a signal that you are putting too much strain on a muscle or tendon and should stop, Dr. King says. “People used to say you need to ‘suck it up,’ or just.When NOT to push through the pain:-There is swelling. On Sunday when I noticed that my foot was swollen I knew that I should NOT push through the pain and that the swelling needed to be gone before I resumed running.-The pain is causing you to overcompensate in other areas and change your form in order to run more comfortably.
Overcompensating.It’s important to listen to your body and instead of pushing through the pain, decrease the intensity of your running routine until you can resume it safely If you’re suffering with foot pain, you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis. Running should make you feel healthier, not lead to debilitating pain.Running through IT band syndrome, while possible if you’re willing to endure some discomfort, will extend the time it takes before you can once again run without knee pain.
If you’re currently suffering from iliotibial band syndrome, you’ll be.Elite runners often say that their ability to push through excruciating bouts of discomfort is integral to their race performance. “After you’ve built up your base mileage, it’s really about how much pain you can take,” says Barton, who once ran five 100-mile races within six.If you notice that the pain is coming more from the inside of your hip, and you tend to run on hard surfaces like the road, then it could be a stress fracture. If this is what you have, running will definitely make it worse. Don’t let it sit until you physically can’t run anymore and can only limp around the house.
Go to the doctor to be sure.Pain on the inside border of the bottom one-third of the shin bone. Initially, the shin will be sore to touch after running. If you continue to stress the bone, running with shin splints, the pain will start to appear at the start of your runs.
Eventually, if you don’t take care of it, the shin bone will be sore before, during and after running.Stop running immediately if you feel a sudden, severe pain in your body, which may indicate an injury. Pushing yourself through the pain of an injury may result in more severe damage.
Ice the painful area, and contact a physician if the pain does not subside or worsens.

When i breathe to much from the chest i get bad side stich.learning to control diaphramatic breathing seems to work when i can focus on it
was taking a run and stepped in a weird way and dislocated my knee
Great video, great message Sage. I could not agree more with you about the importance of learning to manage varying degrees of pain, differentiating between fatigue versus injury related pain and embracing discomfort as a fundamental aspect of improving performance and achieving goals. If you’re not suffering at some point during quality sessions, you’re not pushing hard enough! I also like what you say about self-induced training/racing pain (voluntary) versus much worse real-life pain and suffering (involuntary). Great job!
Thanks Coach Nate! I’m currently nursing a month old soleus injury that continues to linger. Thanks for the motivation to keep active and explore different strength opportunities.
So ive “discovered” running and im really enjoying it now. meaning ive gone from “kill me now” to “i dont wanna stop”. ive lost 28 punds since may this year and im really into it. All theese positives makes me wanna run all the time. and this again has led to me increasing my mileage too high too fast and my knees have been bothering me quite a bit theese last few weeks. They are getting better day by day now and this time im gonna stick to not increasing more than 10% each week. But here is my question (finally): 10% increase in total mileage each week. or 10% increase in each of my sessions (strength, hill runs, as well as long runs)? What would be the best way to go?
Im having problems with my knee ( runners knee) and will be running my first marathon ever in Athens in November. Kinda sucks to be injured but I will do whatever it takes to cross the finish line!
I never said thanks for your advice last year. When I ran the Ogden full. I walked a lot, I ate the food at all of the rest stations. And yes I was in a lot of pain when I finish. I could barely walk for a week. But I finished the whole thing. I don’t know if you remember responding to my question. But it was great advice. That was my third marathon I finished. And I’m doing another in 2 weeks.
unless you also think pedophile is something to aspire to? take Dwayne “the rock spider”Johnson out yr videos!
When in running, I get stitches, my legs hurts, my chest hurts, my shoulders hurt…. So to prevent all of this is to just go to your happy place. When your running think about the sounds you hear, the birds tweeting, the trees whispers and your feet stepping against the ground, then up from the ground. But you have to concentrate. Loose that concentration and you feel the pain again.
Anothe technique you could try is breathing before you race. Take a deep breath in, when you inhale it should take about 8 to 10 seconds, then hold it for 10 seconds, the let it all out in one breath. Do that about 3 to 5 times. It works about 99.9% of the time.
Another great vid, Sage! Could you discuss strength training/core work and how it compliments running?
Any clue what to do to prevent it? Any exercises recommended? Thanks (:
If you want to get medical, muscle strength doesn’t help bone strength. Weighting I mean waiting around(doing minimal activity like walking or sitting) helps bones form properly. Exercising on weak bones well everyone knows what happens then….
I’m starting to think I don’t have runners knee (I’m thinking it might be something else) my knees sound like rice crispys and there’s a sharp pain not a dull pain, I’m 15 btw
thanks for this, I tried to run a 1/4 marathon twice but each time my knee just hurt too much. I will try this and see how it goes for the third try
I have been getting side sitch on my bottom right abdomen for 8 days straight. The most frustrating part is that i get these after just 200 m into the running. Any tips?
New runner (again). Gosh dang you inspire. Looking at your programs pretty much as I type this. Appreciate sooo much what you do.
Ok im weirdly happy tht ive got runner’s knee ���� means tht im actually a runner ����♀️
Im training for strength.. Did squat jumps,burpees,lunges and side lunges.. When i hit the road for 10k long run, i had an issue with left knee.. I might need some more workout.
The mulligan brothers keep me motivated always, they motivated me to start my youtube channel for fitness!
Pain is my life but i over come pain for pain is my friend and i handle it everyday
Douglas, Im really pleased I watched your video. I am in a pretty depressing situation. I love running its my favourite form of exercise but over time its become far too painful that the enjoyment has gone completely. I have scoliosis of the spine and I used to run long distances as well as play rugby and train HIIT I damaged my hip flexors on both sides and since then getting back into running is very painful, i now feel discomfort in my back hips and along the inside of my knees. Sorry for the lengthy comment, but do you think this could be down to tight hip flexors and curvature in the spine? I have taken up yoga and i am now doing very short sprints as i find that less painful than jogging on the knees.
don’t use treadmil i hurted my patela and i have 4yrs problems
Well after watching this video I believe the cause of my knee pain is increasing my running time from 25 minutes 2 or 3 times a week to 90 minutes per day. In distance is 2.5 miles to 5 miles. I will decrease the amount of time and distance until my knees feels better.
I had runners knee when I began to take up running for the second time in my life, I had a self-diagnosed overuse injury to my IT band (so take this with a pinch of salt as my opinion purely on a poor understanding of A level pe). Luckily I paid attention and didn’t continue to run on it after 2 weeks of trying to suck it up.
I was able to treat the injury by paying attention to making sure my foot strike way even (not landing too much on the inside or in my case the outside of the knee), as well as focusing on running in a forward motion having a less bouncy form. By correcting my form and taking some time to rest I was able to go out running again. Hope this helps
I heard bananas help side stitch. Do anyone know any other foods that will help?

So much of pain management can be mentality, one part is saying keep going but on the other side your head is asking you to stop. You focus on the side that’s telling you to go. Keep saying to your self “I can make it, I can do this, Pain is temporary” also think about the finish, go into deep thought. The more you go off focus from the pain the faster the race will go by.
Perfect timing. After a 5k this weekend I took a rest day and on the NEXT day I felt that discomfort where you can feel your hip socket. Decided to keep running because it wasn’t painful but I wasn’t bouncing off that leg properly. Put 18 miles on it and my body told me no more. Weird because it came AFTER a rest day. I think it might be bursitis or inflammation of some sort. Gonna take some days off and still stretch and foam roll. Any ideas what this is and why this happened?
Thanks Nate, real sense spoken. I’ve been struggling with Jumpers Knee for the past two years (having only had it properly diagnosed a few months back) i did all the things you suggest, different shoes, pain killers, trying anything, and as you say occasionally it would go away then come straight back with a vengeance. It has been so frustrating going from preparing for my first half marathon (which i wasn’t able to take part in due to this injury) resting for months only to come back and have it re-appear. My current physio is working wonders and while i am not yet where i want to be i’ve learnt some patience, and probably like many others need another person to state the obvious to really make me think.
So thanks again, you have really changed my mind, firmed up the advice I have been receiving and hopefully in the coming months (after heeding and using the advice i have been given) things should be back on track and I can start my way back onto the half marathon training my eventual goal being to run the Isle of Wight Ultra (UK) which is a staggering 106km at some point in the next couple of years injury free and strong.
Pain is often the greatest teacher, grateful for those moments.
I guess my cramps are coming from eating too much and not giving stomach enough time to digest the food. I’m glad it wasn’t something todo with my body because running just started getting easier.
Not saying this will work for everyone, but Im 38 and I used to play sports through high school and beyond but running always got my right knee, IT band, shin splints etc… starting back in high school. I tried barefoot running this year after reading studies on it, very slowly at first back in march around the time of this video, and all pain is gone and my smaller muscles are much much stronger and noticeably bigger and my balance is way better. I still cant quite run as fast on concrete but Im faster on grass or dirt. After 4 months of daily barefoot starting with walking and now running up to 4 miles a day, I have thicker padding over the toes and ball and a bit on the heel but its smooth just thicker.
My feet have learned to respond instantly to small rocks or changes in surface and adapt by softening the foot around the rock, this coupled with reduced pain sensation makes stepping on small things minimal. I ran right through a patch of stickers yesterday, stopped and pulled 3 out of my the ball of my foot and kept going with only slight discomfort and I believe theres still way more toughening up to go. The biggest change has been in my form, I didn’t realize how poor it was and how removing the shoe would make me adapt to run naturally. If you have pain or are recovering from injury its worth a shot while you recover, just go slow.
Just too late for me lol. I just recovered from an Achilles injury
Well said, our pain is a choice, and a privilege. We should be grateful!
HERCULES MULLIGAN!! the chanel name reminded me of him and ” when u knock me down i get the FUCK BACK UP AGAIN”
I tried everything for paining, popping knees. Reclining Hero Pose is what helped me the most.
your a gun sage.. always watching and taking valuable advice from your videos keep up you good work
I have a knee that makes a clicking noise when walking up stairs I’ve started jogging and walking recently and my knee aches a little bit what should I do?
What does it mean if I feel a lot of pain when I do the part at 6:30? I’m assuming its a lot of tightness?
Good training talk, I haven’t heard this topic before. Thanks.
For my achilles recovery, I’m now doing both calf raises and eccentric loading exercises (with increasing weight) every day. It’s really helping. I’m doing an easy run/walk with icing afterwards. If you have insertional achilles tendinopathy (pain right at the point the tendon attaches to the heel), don’t drop your heel below the toes when doing exercises. It will pull on the tendon too much. They actually said this in the video, but not in plain language. Go see a good sports doctor/physio before it gets worse.
what are ways to release the psoas? I have lateral hip tightness, pain on impact due to tight and sore fexors
My several months of experience shows that if you don’t walk frequently in your resting days if you run even just for couple of minutes you will get knee pain even if you warmed-up and have a slow pace of like 7 minutes/km.
I’m 22 and I think I might have it. I have a grinding feeling when bending my Achilles. No pain really, just discomfort at some points. I did randomly start running 2 miles a day and riding my bike, so maybe that’s why? I also was running very hard in converse.
Sage, Please coach us on as how you are training for Marathon day. For example, While training for 50k training, How much do you run last 30 days? I understand we increase slowly towards to 50k. Will you hit 50k before one week before Marathon day and take rest couple of days off
I get this literally any time I run. No matter what. During sprints or long distance, always get these stitches
I’ve been strict and not ran in 5 weeks with a calf strain. Got 10 weeks until my next 10k at least I can do some strength training
Adding to all this, another most important advice is to avoid heel strike while running.:)
WHAT THE FUCK! I’ve struggled with knee pain when walking for like a year, went to some doctors and all that, and the stretching moves were pretty painful so I thought they would make it worse, but after your explanation and doing simple quad stretches over the slight pain I felt instant relief! Thanks!
How to get faster pace?
My current pace: 7:00 7:03 per pile
If you really want to do well, a great runner doesn’t care, we’d rather go to the hospital, than be embarrassed by ‘giving up’, that’s just goes with territory, so when racing or training, you’re just so pumped up, that you’re focused on the task at hand, not some little bit of searing pain….that’s what we live for, easy
5:35 Would you lend some of your insight to the assertion that it is tougher to run in the evening due to higher levels of exhaustion from the day as well as lower testosterone levels due to circadian rhythms?
Hi bro, I hope you are fine. For the last two weeks I been walking for 2 and half hours and running half an hour continuously…but now I feel some swelling and mild pain in my right knee’s right side… so I stopped my walking and running…. after 4 or 5 days rest I shall restart my walking and running. My knee pain is due to my over walking?..
One of the things you must do in life is push through it fight through it cause life have challenges

Amazing topic. Subscribed. I personally improved my PBs after listening to the audiobook “The willpower instinct” by Kelly McGonigal. After that book I am able to accept way more pain and for longer periods in races than ever before.
I fell in love with pain so much that im willing 2 go through the eye of da storm to become succesful and achive greatness in every area of my life what i want 4 christmas this year is end 2018 strong and make 2019 my golden year.
It’s a tough thing to balance out i feel like leading up to my marathon this april i have had a few scary times where im so close to injury and its pretty obvious that i need to take a day or 3 off. Losing that 1 day or 3 days or a week is really hard for people myself included but you have to trust yourself to make the decision to push through or take a break. In the end you know your body the best and should make your decision in a professional way think of it like a job if your get injured you wont have any income to support yourself. Running is the same time off equals lost income aka lost gains lost endurance whatever it might be.
Video on best ways to get over injuries but stay in shape would be awesome
Only problem with this video is that if you are watching it you are already injured
Hey there great vid as always, I’m 40 this year I used to love running and I really want to get back into it, my diet is plant based, what advice can you give me on for example how often to train? Any tips would be great
Thanks Sage! Always great to hear the inspiration. Keep em coming.
Aloha, this vid was extremely helpful. I do a lot of running and i felt a pop in my calf and massaged it out and took off a couple days of running. Then started having achilles pain in my left one. Was looking for a good stretch and strength program. goin g to try this so i can be ready for the Honolulu marathon in December 2020. I will check in to let you know how it goes. in the mean time i’m icing after runs and warming up on the spin bike. Thanks again for this wonderful video.
Great takeaways and cogent reminders from this talk! Would it be possible to do a Part 2 where you just describe some specific injuries and common pains like IT Band, tendinitis in knees, Achilles, and quad pain etc??
I had some weird pain recently in my lower legs (everything between my knees and ankles not just calves, but everything) and during the run they just started shaking and throbbing and hurting so bad I had to stop. THIS WAS IN BOTH LEGS SIMULTANEOUSLY. I had also just switch road and trail shoes to Hokas though I think that’s not the cause here. I thought it might be because of my calf sleeves; but I’m ruling that out. And I was running fairly consistently 3 times a week. I hadn’t been running much from Christmas to early February, and I was running around 15-25 miles per week back in the Fall and late Summer.
I hope the pain is gone now, I just took 4 days off running, and will probably attempt tomorrow. I know you’re not a doctor; and thanks for everything!
During my ultras or even a marathon, a lot of my pain is in the groin area. Those muscles seem to cramp up first. Do you think this is a form issue? Or what would cause that to start hurting before my quads and calves?
trying to prepare myself mentally by watching a bunch of youtube videos.thanks this one was helpfull
This video is perfect timing for me. I have a half next Saturday with the goal of a sub 1:35 (I don’t think 1:30 is in the cards just yet). Accepting and embracing pain has been crucial in my training. But I still need to learn how to hold back, I’ve had a handful of injuries the past few months due to my eagerness.
Thank u soo mutch because i started running like a week ago because I NEED to lose some weight and i didn’t know what caused it and how to deal with it one more time thank you soo mutch
I’m having pain at the back of the heel. I think it’s something like bursitis of heel? I like to know how to cure?
I suffer from achilles pain, I usually run in adidas shoes 10mm drop but if I change to Hoka or On for example with 5 or 6mm drop I suffer with achilles problems?
I thought this video was too simple and couldn’t be valid. Puhhhlleeeze! Correcting my posture has been instrumental in improving my running and time. When it attempts to rear its head, I KNOW my posture isn’t correct. Thank you for this video!!
I always watch your videos before I run, it gives me more motivation to do my best!!:) Thanks Sage.
I’ve got a 5k tomorrow, and my right knee hurts in a way they feels like I need to pop my knee, but I can’t get it to pop. Any advice?
Great video as always. It would be cool, if you could do a talk on how to get climbing legs for uphill races/skyrunning type of events. Any specific workouts? Or just more climibing, even on easy days?:)
I was playing basketball from
3:30 pm till 5:37 pm and nonstop
And after that my right Side hurts so much everytime i stand up and face my body up but a few days it passes.
How bad do you want it? from Matt Fitzgerald is an interesting read knowing about the mental side and the perceived effort
No pain when I run, but knee pain when I walk. Just my right knee!
Who else struggles side stitches during physical education lol
This video is a few weeks too late �� just developed Achilles tendinitis and currently treating it. Lots of eccentrics, stretching and massaging is helping out. Ohh and icing in the beginning phase. Now I’m doing epsom salt and warm water.
Your opening quote is written permanently on my home gym’s whiteboard.
Another great video from my favorite motivational YouTube channel keep up the great work
Hip Flexor Pain Basically the Worst Please CHECK This Out https://zip1ink.com/4O
black shoes, black socks, black shorts on black ground makes it very hard to tell what you are doing.
Fighting through the fatigue of running uphill is my biggest weakness right now. Especially when it isn’t followed directly by a downhill. I’m trying to convince myself that running on the flat ground is my break while running. I try to trick myself into thinking that it’s as good as walking and I’m taking a break. Then when another hill comes, it’s time to run again. Even though I was running the whole time. If that makes any sense. It works decently well.
I was shocked how hard the one legged squat was for me:O Guess I know what I have to work on….
It’s actually glory that is forever. Pride dies with you. Glory lives on.:P
Side stitch feels like im hungry
Thats why i eat a lot after my soccer match
Goodluck to me on my long passes
I use to run a lot and then I hurt my knee and I couldn’t run for two months and gain tons of weight. Lately, when I drive my knees hurts so bad.I am thinking about workout again maybe a slow walk so I don’t hurt myself but I am afraid. I don’t really have insurance tbh. It feel sore and sharp pain when I lean with that foot.
Please talk about tibia stress fructure.. reasons and resolve?
With my last half marathon i got so into the zone that i almost did not suffer but i was gasping for air the last 4k, it took a good 2 weeks to recover from that tho. Thanks for the video (:
if you get a stitch, hold your thumb in your clenched fist on one hand. It will go away pretty quickly. I don’t know how it works, I don’t know why it works, it just works.
I hurt my right achilles in 2016. It took three months of hiking, cycling, & swimming to rehab it back to running.
And friend’s and everyone else that’s on the right side not the left
I hill train so my cardio is pretty great! However, I just can’t seem to get in the mileage without suffering pain! I just want to wrack up the millage to improve my running. I do track sessions once a week, but they slay me for about 2-3 days.
Right now I have shins tender, some weird pain near Achilles on left leg, which is making me avoid track tonight… just in case I get a bad injury from it.
I train very hard indeed… to max capacity.. but only a few times a week! Did a track last week, follow by a hill session, then an easy 3 miler… nothing incredible! v frustrating.
I will always be humble i will always have respect love and loyalty
Just wanted to share….I have recently found a CBD infused knee compression sleeve made by hemp symmetry that has worked great for my left knee pain when I run. Deff worth checking out!
Awesome Sage. I’m glad you went over some things twice, it can take a while to soak in.
I learned a lot with that one.
competition is what keeps the body going. Whatever competition your body mind and spirit choose is yours!
Nahh its just majority are pretty okay with themselves and only a few would try
I also found using a technogymn ‘skill mill’ very useful (before lockdown). The curved track drops away and I was able to run, as the curve eased pressure on my achilles/calf.
i actually enjoy the pain of leg/calf cramps and achilles tendonitis. i’m a freak masochist
Thank you for the video, Coach Nate! Where can I purchase that t-shirt?
When i play basketball and do running pain in my stomach occured
Am I the only one who watched the first stretch and felt their knee laugh…?
Very Helpful!! Thank you, I am going through some pains and aches and unsure how much to run
I remember in seventh grade I wore the Nike zoom Pegasus 33 as a daily trainer. The only problem is I’m not a neutral runner
STOP Stretching On the first couple of days of onset. When the pain is increasing specially when you stretch your toes upwards and the pain becomes intolerable.
Ice 3-4 X a day with 600 mg of ibuprofen.
Sooo motivating!!! �������� keep moving forward! ���� ���� ����
Started off running 5k right away as a beginner. Now, I have this Achilles pain. I was so bummed because half way through my run after improving my pace over the last few weeks, and not getting tired as quickly I got this pain and can’t keep going. ��
hey coach sage, I am a 15 year old male runner, and I have a goal to someday become an elite marathoner. any advice on how I can better my chances? thanks
Just begun running my 30 min run before training after some injury rest and its been really frustrating that I can barely jog for 5 minutes without the cramps returning making it hard to breath. Hope this helps me thanks!
My knee crunches when I walk up stairs, I don’t have any pain though
It started after incorporating cycling in my training. ��
Basketball practices are always so hard. This helps me push through the pain
Im simple unable to recover from it. It’s been 5 months now:(
It’s “tendinitis”. Or better yet, “tendinopathy”, as you write in the description, as tendinitis implies inflammation, which is not necessarily the case.
I found that swimming/holding my breath under water as long as possible has helped my side stitches. I guess it’s from working out the lungs more
Don’t ever lace your shoes too tied….. And wear highly cushioned shoes too observe strikes….. Don’t those tied trousers or shorts…. They literally blocked the blood flow….
He takes too much time in saying the important stuff dont think will watch his long and mundane vids
What helped the most with aching knees was doing side steps with a resistance band around my ancles, doing the clam shell move with the resistance band around my knees and doing the side raises with ankle weights around my ankles.
Every morning I wake up and put on a video from your channel, it keeps me focused throughout the day. I have my goals on the ceiling so ever day when I wake and go to sleep I see this. The first and last memory of the day.
I can run for a while but side cramps. Side cramps: I’m gonna stop you from running
Keep tht BMI in the normal range as low as ppssible as a runner. If youre overweight keep to non weight bearing exercises first like biking
could I replace the lying glute stretch with an upright pigeon pose? My knee hurts when I do the lying glute stretch
It’s not that rare, it takes usually 4 months for any pain to disappear, and try to avoid sprinting barefoot. Ultrasound therapy is useful in soldering the pain with internal heating. You can also buy Electromagnetic wrap that heats them deep tissues and speeds up healing and removing the scar tissue, the scar tissue is key as it aligns awkwardly in the tendon reducing the elastic strength. Once you have had any issues in the tendon it may not potentially be as strong as before so make your peace with that.
Seems very interesting! However, it is not said HOW to release the hip flexors, is it? Did I miss that?
You should go to Unflexal website, the best workout instructions.
How to run through a side stitch? I have been suffering with those. I feel comfortable with my pace, i’m breathing, my Heart rate is fairly low.. and BOOOM it hits and ruins my run. I can run through leg cramps and fatigue.. but side stitch. no.
I had to take seven days off due to knee pain. Frozen peas & Advil were my life. So glad it’s gone and I can run again.
It don’t know why, and it might just be me, but I now always wear shoes that have very firm less reactive padding, especially in the heel area, vs. “comfortable” long distance training shoes that everyone else seems to like, or shoes that give more “bounce” or “energy return”. I seem to develop nagging tendinitis issues in any of those types of shoes, but not with firm ones. (and I’m a mid/fore foot striker, not a heel striker).
Would you do the stretch before or after going for a run? Thx
I’m having non insertional pain, but it pains only when I stand up from inactivity or starting the run. Anyone with a advice on it??
Suffered this. Extremely painful at it’s worst. Took me around 1.5 years to even walk properly. Nearly 3 years later and it’s still not 100%. The only thing that fixes it is time and rest.
The pain doesn’t change what does is how you handle the pain
Tore my meniscus couple years ago never got surgery just healed on its own I’ve been running a lot lately up until a week ago where my left knee (also the meniscus tear knee) started hurting so Idk if I have runners knee or if it’s my meniscus help!!
These videos should ONLY be done by people in their late 70s who have been running for over 50 years.
I used to run on road for years and developed Achilles. It took me almost 4 months to recover using muscle relaxers. Now i run on a mud track

You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.
To prove myself worthy and true i am the Holy light to my family
Median Arcuate ligament release (MALS) can also be the reason you are experiencing a stitch sensation because there is a narrowing of the celiac artery which enables proper blood flow.
So should those strength exercises be added to regular training?
I have knee pain when running but when I walk and jog in place I don’t have the pain. Is this the runner’s knee problem?:(
as soon as i left my house for running, i had the sharpest most painful shock on the tendon and it killed my feet. after 10 minutes it was getting less painful but now i live with this pain ;(
Why do you keep going, because if my life is easy why not, why not build my life to make things I used to look at as hard as easy, push through, so many people let their minds hold them back, “why would I do it there’s no reason”. There’s nothing pushing you on but yourself, and you can do it it’s whether you do it
I learned more from the comments then the video XD but the video was helpful too
You lost my trust when you said to roll out the IT band. You can’t do this, you might as well role out a strip of hard rubber.
Love ur vids bro keep it up, I’m really motivated and also can u do one about never giving up
Had RK for over a year because I didnt know what it was, I googled “knee pain going down stairs” in swedish and took first two stretching exercises I found in first hit and was better the day after. Unfortunately? I dont see any of the exercises in this video:)
Popped mine last summer, still have problems, particularly after sleep or sitting, just as heather said.
i should probbaly stop eating so much. i am filipino so ofc i eat a lot of rice so im gonna stop.
I recently recovered from Achilles tendonitis. I had worked my way up from walking 2 miles/day to running 5 miles/day, 5 days/week over the course of a year, and had been running for several months, but had recently been pushing my pace. My major risk factor was being 45. Didn’t hurt a bit when running, but over the course of a week, walking and going down steps got worse and worse pain. I spent 3 months in a boot except during physical therapy with no cardio permitted. My doc recommended a low impact regimen like cycling, so I’ve switched to that. He also said that people with big, muscular calves are more likely to suffer this than long, skinny calves.
Whenever I stretch my Achilles’ tendon, it hurts really bad same thing with walking, I can’t even walk
What kind of stretching/strengthening do I need to do to not getting a Achilles problem?
of course, the whole world is against me otherwise it won’t be fair!
I got runners knee from doing hill sprints everyday thinking it won’t harm my body, I was so wrong and now I rly regret it ����♂️������
I run exactly like A! That was really helpful, Ill try to fix it, and if I dont forget Ill come update here if it works
The thumbnail pic is me the morning after a night at chipotle
I´m suffering this right now, so this is the perfect video for me now, thanks so much for this:):)
Great piece & rundown on managing pain during workouts & races. Instead of disassociating from the pain, I invite the pain in and feel it, get to know it well. Most of the time it works well, especially if I can work with a negative split race or hard run.
The way she is answering is so weird and cute and impressive and intresting at same time.
Wow! This is really useful for me. I have this issue on and off. Hope I can fix this knee soon:)
Hi, great info here. Would it be possível to address soleus and gastro since running and biking seems to have such a bad impact, how to treat and prevent? Cheers
I am living with this issue right now and it is horrid. Thank you for the advice �� i can add some strengthening exercises to my foam rolling now ��
Brilliant Sage. It’s about balance, and you can’t be racing everyday. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
“Here comes the pain!” That is my mantra everytime i run uphill. Am i starting to become a maniac?
Thanks gtn, I learned a lot about tendons through this video. This is some good content. Cold weather/cold tendons is my enemythat’s my #1 takeaway from this video.
This time I’ll use Unflexal instructions to learn about workouts more:)
He said to increase the training like this: week one-30min, week two-33min, week three-36min,… BUT HOW MANY RUNS PER WEEK???? Why he doesn’t explain that part?!
I am getting this everyday at the same place while running. It’s kind of starts after i start running for 2 3 minutes. It does go away when i stop. But if i again start running it comes back immidiately, and the worse part it. Whenever i run or do cardio. It comes back. Resting doesn’t help. What is it. What should be done.
Boys be grateful, for girls while running getting a stitch and a period cramp is the worst
I never get one when I run in the morning on an empty stomach. But once I eat something, i could wait 3 hrs and I’ll still get a damn stitch!
I can’t do the first stretch because it hurts so bad to kneel. Is that still runners knee or something else?
I have runners knee, hurt really badly when it kicks in. Can’t do my distance running without avoiding it, it is frustrating but it’s all on me I’ve started running on accidented terrains, hill, etc… straight from the start.
I’m doing strength training now, plus ice when it hurts. It’s going to be a long healing process, but no I have no choice at this point. I’m shortening my running session and avoid to run downhill.
Anyways nice video
I like the perspective it is a choice as part of celebrating the human physical spirit. Nice video.
Just breath from your nose and it’ll go away, it happens because your mouth can’t get sufficient oxygen but your nose can
When I get watched I feel in side me much power make me feel started hard practice no pain no gain thank you so much mulliganbrothers ��������������
Dam waiting to heal from runner’s knee is the worst part aspecially when your addicted to running
6:27, what do you define as a heavy weight? 5kg,10kg or even heavier?
Sometimes it seems excersising is more bad for you than sitting on your ass:D
All who do any sports seem to have some point in their body broken all the time.
Women’s knees are more flexible than men’s(since our knees are not aligned straight with our hips), so my dr told me to wear a knee brace on whichever knee gives me trouble and it definitely helps a lot.
So I’m 40 never exercise took of jogging day 2 cant walk sharp sharp pain under knee when will it heal
You should looking for Unflexal if you’d like to get best workouts guide.
love it & keep it up brother and we’re always with you & waiting for next videos & waiting for get motivation videos.
I’ve got an AT quite bad, to the point I almost giving up running. Then I switched to barefoot walking gradually, then run 1km then slowly build it back to 5km barefoot running. Now I only run in 0mm drop shoes like Altra, and goodbye Achilles Tendonitis.
Look for Median Arcuate Ligament release sometimes this is the cause to athletes getting a stitch.
I have terrible hip flexor pain and look like sample a when running. Do you know of anyone in Arizona that would take a look at my form? Excellent video and I need help. I feel like my stamina is great on long runs, but my hip flexors stop me from continuing.
I always thought it was 10% increase in distance per week. He said time ����♀️
10% rule… oops i went from doing nothing to 5k then next week 10k… no wonder my feet and knees hurt!
I always get stitches as soon as I get into the Rhythm, but as soon as it comes my pace dies down not because I’m tired but because the pain is unbearable
I did skip ropes for 15 min after my run and ended up with worst knee pain the next day. Now I can’t walk properly without hinging
Clever me, i did holding my aching side without knowing that this might work… I hold it like I’m gonna tear my skin because i was so mad at this nonsense pain why do we have this shit that limiting us to run freely until we’re exhausted
I have this in both ankles and possible os trigonun syndrome. Do you think a tall foot brace worn for a few weeks would help?
I started taking up running in the last 6 months (I’m 46). The hip flexors on both sides were so strained it was painful to move. I found stretching after my workout has been extremely helpful. I only run 2-3 miles at a time, 2-3 times a week.
I’m working on my pace-tience. Great video. I love the feeling of running fast and breathing hard, but my joints aren’t ready to keep up with me yet in a high-mileage way especially on the hilly terrain I usually like to run on. Currently working on developing slower gears and taking days on flat routes. It can be kind of boring honestly, but I know it’s going to allow me to push even longer and harder and faster in the mountains. Your videos have helped me a lot to develop in recent months. Thanks for the help.
I feel personally attacked by this video… male, over 40, with pain in the heel at the tendon insertion point. Thanks for the video though:)
racing never gets any easier. no truer words have been spoken.
This video is great ‘broad’ advice. Best advice on calf raise weight is as heavy as you can as early as you can! The Achilles takes up to 12 times body weight during exercise, don’t be afraid to strengthen it!
This is the best audio I’v heard this makes me want to go to summer workouts and work harder than I did the day before and the day before that this is such a great audio to hear before workouts this makes me push through every challenge I get in life
I’m literally sat on a bench down the canal I run down everyday bc I was running then I got the worst stitches ever on both sides
Minute 2:34 as Greg Lemond said about cycling. “It never gets easier you only get faster”.
My pain is on he outside of the hips, I can especially feel it when going from sitting to standing. It’s been hurting for 2 months now even with rest.
Thank you Coach Nate! The women in the background we’re hilarious tho, people are something else!!
You should make a video of your running form at full speed, like mine.
i mean the top ten seconds i cringed twice (the sip) (the quote)
When your WHY is big and you truly love it, then you can push through any pain.
What’s the best technical book on running and sport physiology you could recommend?
Tuck your hips. So your lower back isnt bowed and your glutes arent poking out behind your torso. In the first example(at 2:22) you can see his hips arent straight and his chest is raised and out. On the right you can see his hips are under him and his chest is relaxed. In fact the example on the left is better in every way that im able to see.
Good topic. Personally I find myself praying like crazy that I can just hold on to the pace and not stop and walk.
Good advice Sage!thanks for the vids, I apply your concepts to cycling!
I have runners knee and I came up with a really cool trick! I sprained my ankle and now I don’t have to worry about my knee anymore!
Hi Dougyour link to your site in the description does not work (it is a https link, but should be http). Great tips herethanks!
Isn’t running more going to cause more damage ����Is there exercise to avoid the damage than going extra miles
I am at a point, where I run between 5 and 10K, without any noticable pains, BUT I can sometimes get a little sore in the hip area, but in the front, like in some tendons(?) Maybe I’m running wrong or using the wrong shoes? Anyway…great vid!
I’m wondering if heel cups will get me back running sooner. Anyone? Great video!
HOW!!?? How do you released the hip flexors to run with proper form? Is it just a magical choice?
Pain in the ITB is often caused by tight hip flexors (TFL) and weak glute medius. To counter this focus on strengthening glute medius as opposed to rolling ITB, fight the cause not the symptom.
THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS OF WHAT GOD DID THRU JESUS FOR US: JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS BECAUSE WE ALL FALL SHORT OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS BECAUSE WE ALL SINNED SO WE ARE CONSIDERED UNHOLY. BUT JESUS TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT OF DEATH THUS PAYING THE PRICE FOR SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE THRU HIM. SO WE DONT HAVE TO SUFFER IN HELL. YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST & BELIEVE IN HIM AS SAVIOR & AS THE ONE TRUE WAY TO THE FATHER, GOD FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT OF PROMISED PARADISE. LET THE LORD BLESS THRU THIS MESSAGE
Timmy Bedford here with another training talk…Hey You should do a training talk about how to balance being fit for high vert. trail races (speedgoat, the rut, etc.) AND for road races (10k, half marathons, etc). Like you had to do training for the OTQ while competing in ultras.
Strong Glute medius is life! So is transverse abdominals! It’s a game changer in how your body moves if they are strong. Also strengthening abbuctors along with glute med, and stretch hip flexors helped me! Thanks for this! I need a new foam roller:)
Love the background. This is perfectly timed for all runners coz we’re always in pain. ��
I’m very grateful to YouTube for the enormous resources on running. Your channel is world class and super helpful. Loads of gratitude to you guys
Just to clarify is it OK to do short walks when starting these exercises.
1:20 At one competition a few Years ago, some one Snapped their achilles. It was the most horrible Sound, I’ve ever heard. Just by writing this, I instantly get goosebumps:O
Not something, that you want to encounter…
I’ll be running next week at the Sydney Marathon with 3 injuries!! BUT, I’ve been doing plenty of stretching and strength work to help me get through, and this race is very important to me so just like you said towards the end, it’s something I’ll just have to deal with (hopefully I don’t injure myself any further in the run though haha):D
10:07 best advice for the common runner non-elite. Run for the challenge and against yourself don’t worry what other people are doing. Pat yourself on the back for the training and your accomplishment whatever your pace, distance, etc.
I’m doing couch to 5k right now so it’s running walking running walking when I’m close to the end of my run I get the pain and while walking but the pain goes when I’ve sat down for a few minutes ����
I didn’t know it was called side stitch. I thought I was having a kidney failure or something ��
My stitch always comes on the right side only and it literally hurts to breath it’s one of the most painful things I go through
Ahhh why didn’t I have this video a year ago! The second half of last year was a pretty sore experience.. Mine was caused by a big increase in running (and speed), way too quickly in training for a marathon (which I still did). Mine was fairly obvious a bump on my tendon that was painful to the touch!
Sage do you listen to music while training? What about during races?
how do i keep going thru 23 surgeries and lost left lung prayer and will power and determination.
The squat he was doing looked slightly odd to me. I was always taught when I squat my knee should never go forwards. Rather you should sink downward bending at the knee with the knee staying in the same position. It looked as though he was bending his knee forwards.
Hi, I am one of your followers I had some question I do running, jogging, about a year but when i suddenly stop at two months, then when I came back running ang jogging I cant run properly and i fell pain at my hips back and only three munites long i can run. My question is what ways i can improve again.
What about if you feel pressure on your chest? Because for me I get that sometimes and It feels like it’s pressure on my heart and I have to completely stop running
Had back surgery and now two injections in my back. I have to push thru it! It is hard.
I get them on race day seemingly no matter what. I practice eating before training and do very intense workouts and never get them. However, no matter what, come race day I’m running (also swimming) through a stitch. I can’t figure it out. My guess is for me it has to do with nerves
Stopped running 5ks for 3 months from Track and then ran one within the first 10 seconds having a side stitch for the rest of the 3 miles. That s*** hurted but still got a 21:30
Edit: Ran a couple more and practiced more and now I’m fine
oh wow…. informative and scary.
My Achilles tendon burns so badly when I run, so I think emmmmm something serious may be going on. Thanks for the video!
I love pain cause I’m built for it, it’s not easy but nothing worthwhile is ever easy!
Great sir,
Make more video on education
I mean keep educational background
Thnks
I have a triathlon in 2 months and I have a minor reaggrivation of my Achilles heel. Should I stop running for a week or longer and do calf raises and icing? Should I keep running but run light and continue with calf raises and icing? Any tips would be appreciated.
This is nice! I sometimes get stitch on the right part of my body, just below the chest, when I start doing zumba and crunches. I’m relieved to know that it’s not something related to my kinsey and the likes. I guess I should not eat right before exercising. ��
Good presentation but wow did you take a long time to get anywhere helpful
When we run the mile my gym teacher will not let us walk at all
Thanks! I have pacer at my school, and always get those cramps. We have lunch before gym. It sucks
My slightly outward toe position on my left cycling pedal pushed most of my left leg out of alignment. Now my knee aches & my ankle is stiff. What can I do to put my leg back into alignment? Should I stick with the advice in the video?
If not, then what do you think I should do? Also, I have already done a 20 mile walk & three 20 mile runs. My knee pain is still continuous during my runs, but the pain has become less as time goes on.
Please & thank you!?
As is almost universal the advice doesn’t tell you why this happens. My experience has been shoes that have too much heel drop (padded heel) and chronic overstriding. The exercises won’t prevent these, and in fact they waste your time and focus. It seems to me that all these exercises might be good for recovery after an injury will help /cause/ injury if you don’t know the actual cause.
Thank you for going over how we made have hurt our Achilles tendon. I have been sitting a lot at the computer doing photo editing and I probably should have stretched before I started walking. I’ll remember to do it in the morning too. Mine hurts in my heel, is that Achailles?
I have to run the mile and I have pe right after lunch and I need help it hurts when I run
I started to experience a bit of discomfort in my left knee today and suddenly got a reminder when I had the MCL injury last year. I will see how the body responds tomorrow and the coming days, and see where it is going. We need to listen ourselves more indeed and stop when we have to, even when we don´t want to.
Thanks for the advices!
that did it… after she mentioned that gunshot sound… now i’m even scared to walk fast.:(
1:46 The lady straight up has a muzzle brake for her hand sanitizer pump.
i have had runners knee for about 4 years now, i cant seem to fix it, i do squats, deadlifts regularly and some lunges. I cant run for more then 5 mins.
I have had Achilles tendonitis in both legs for the last 12years. It doesn’t stop me from running, ever, but it is stiff and painful to touch nearly all the time. I wouldn’t call it an “injury”, it just seems to be the inevitable consequence of running. I am now 47 and have resigned myself to the fact that it will never go away.
Sage, I am trying to destroy a PR in a fall marathon. If my weekly base mileage prior to the “official” 16 week training period should be pretty high for me(70ish). Assuming that I hit that goal how do I approach weekly mileage at the start of the training period? I purchased your Boston Qualifying plan and the weekly mileage would drop for me if I follow it to a tee…
I am so embarrassed �� today was my 3 cross country meet and I got 54 place out of 223 other girls. Last meet I got 18 place out of 216 other girls just because I got THE worst side stitch I have ever gotten. We had to run 1.5 miles and not even half way through I got one and I had to stop 2 bc of the pain
important video with a lack of explanation. Started running 3 months ago with a lot of pain in the soleus, my big problem is that I have very big calfs (here is call the tortoise), 3 weeks ago started with a sport physiologist with great results. the exercises show in the video are very helpful but theyre very bad explained, not visual not video. also its very important to show that the strenthgthening is crucial with other exercises.
I was unable to run for the first 6 months of 2019 because of an Achilles tear. An ultrasound scan confirmed a 3cm longitudinal tear. Eccentric calf raises made very little difference in my case I practically wore out staircase out and drove my wife nuts. Eventually a friend who used to be an elite runner suggested I try shockwave therapy. I had 5 sessions of Storz shockwave therapy approximately 2 weeks apart at the Fay Pedler Clinic in Plymouth (total cost for 5 sessions £250). Basically it cured me I also wear 4mm heel wedges in my work shoes and trainers and this has kept it at bay. (* I am a doctor but have no financial interest in Storz or the clinic). If you’re struggling it may be worth giving it a try.
Great video, thanks for the information. I find that my Achilles have benefited a lot from increasing my stretching. I mainly focus on my hamstrings and calf’s, which I find tighten up a lot during the week as I sit at a desk most of the day. Not a yoga expert but the Dogward facing dog works really well. I used to have a lot of Achilles issues to the point I could walk properly in the morning after getting out of bed because they were so painful. But now find as soon as I feel them tightening up, by simply increasing my stretching the pain will completely disappear.
Thank you so much! New runner, aiming for marathon, and found this pain when increasing load. Thank you again. This is the most helpful vid i found on this topic
That was amazing… I am in Orlando and I need your help any referrals here?
I honestly hate these things. When I started biking with my friends over time my legs got jacked so I tried out running every once and a while and I love it. I get them from the first 20 seconds I start running and that’s obviously a bad sign. I can never run through them but when I do, I can go so fast and far. Had to search this up to stop it. Thanks
There’s a more comprehensive knee ex program in Bulletproof Your Knee at Amazon.
I like to tell myself that when it hurts alot it’s because I have more energy and the pain is just the energy getting burned.
Wtf I just got it and this video pops up… Damn, YouTube you scary
About a year or two ago, Heather interviewed Sébastien Kienle (sp?) and he mentioned “flossing” his Achilles. I was having Achilles issues at the time so I looked it up on YouTube. After trying this recovery technique I am a total believer. Whenever my Achilles feels tight or anything, I floss it out and I am good to go again.
I wish I’d seen this 2 years ago,both my Achilles had tendinopathy and they both healed about a month ago, this is the best advice I’ve seen and I’ve watched all the videos on YouTube!!!!!
I ruptured my Achilles in October 2019. My Achilles is 10x thicker than the other side I’m not exaggerating on this. Just want to be back playing football. In the match I ruptured it, it was sore before the game and I played through it on pain killers. I wish I listened to my body.
Absolutely needed this! Runners knee has had me in its grip for the last six weeks, but am finally getting to a place where it still hurts but eases up during the run. Hoping it’s the start of it going away…
What a great advert for distance and middle distance running (great video.)
Runners need to know their limitations and when to stop pushing it. Especially runners over 35 yrs of age…….
My size hurts right now and I am in pain really bad usually it hurts every 5 weeks
So, I’ve been running a mile everyday and I stopped and now my knees kinda hurt when I do squats
It doesn’t help that next year I’ll have pe right after lunch
I literally just had to take 3 days off from running due to left knee pain. This video came at the perfect time. ��
… this was incredibly helpful. I’m 3 weeks into running (trying to make it a permanent routine) and was concerned my right knee needed surgery. Turns out I wasn’t stretching right! Thank you so much.
Foam rolling the ITB is a no no. You can roll the quad next to it though. Not sure why this idea persists??
I’ve had painful knees for about a year and a half, is this going to help fix it. I’ve never been to the doctors because my parents have just said it’s growing pain but I know it isn’t.
Long story short:
1. Only eat 2-3 hours before race
2. Be well hydrated
3. If you need to take small sips of water during race
4. Squeeze side
5. Take a break
6. Stretch
Your welcome ��
boys I started running 3 days 3 days ago. From the beginning I ran 45min, then on the 3rd day I went to 1 hour and a half and this morning I woke up with knee pain. What should I do?
Sage, keep up the good work on the videos! Just a quick comment on incorporating work into your training. As a father of 3 kids and working a full time job I needed to find ways to fit in my long runs into my busy schedule. Doing my long training runs after a 10 hour work schedule allowed me to run on some tire feet and help simulate running on tired legs and body. Thanks again for the vids!
I am an Ultrarunner and I am basically dealing with my Achilles for one and a half years now. Granted, most of that time I kept running, since breaks didn‘t help and you hear so many opinions from many people. Right now I am out of running for 9 months.
Thanks for the awesome video. The questions that remain are the following:
The seated exercises are supposed to be done with heavy weights and on a platform. Does that mean that I have to go below/above 90 degrees, meaning that I go below my toes downward? And before that, do I lift the heavy weight upwards with the injured leg as well?
The standing eccentric exercise has to be done differently as I understand. No more than 90 degrees downwards, but here as well: Do I push upwards with the injured leg?
I hope I could describe my questionmarks to everyone’s understanding. I hope you can answer me shortly.
Once i feel one coming on i will start inhling through my mouth and snowly exhaling through my nose trying to give my lungs time to extract the oxygen from my breath it always works for me
You might be pre diabetic if you get them, I get them if i eat/drink something overly sweet. Even if I’m just walking I get them. If you do just drink a lot of water after you eat/drink the sweets
Great video thanks! Injuries are opportunities to improve in disguise love it ��
Thanks for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about Chireetler Shape Creation Rule (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for decreasing your knee pain without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Every morning I wake up and put on a video from your channel, it keeps me focused throughout the day. I have my goals on the ceiling so ever day when I wake and go to sleep I see this. The first and last memory of the day
One of your best videos! Solid info. Love the specifics of an alternative workout-rower, kettlebell, burpees, and the personal story at the end brought it all together. Nicely done! Plus the little talk at the end helped me decide not to do my upcoming half….my heart definitely hasn’t been into training this time around and my body is feeling a little tired. Probably for the best to sit this one out!
when all you guys talk about Achilles tendon etc you only talk about back of foot heel with me the pain is on side of my heel towards the back coming of the tendon i cant afford a sport doctor and normal gp tend to say its over use your old stop running etc so if pain is in back of heel but more on the side is it still Achilles tendentious
Very helpful! Thank you. A demo of you correcting your client’s posture would have been great but will try and have the B posture and see. My pelvic bone so painful after running today…
I don’t understand what’s happening to me. When I walk, I receive the stitch even if I’m not walking fast, and even doing just a little bit of activity triggers my stitch. I have a belt test for my karate class, and I’m afraid that my stitch will trigger and force me to stop.
I had baseball practice and had to run from home plate all the way to rf foul pole and from rf foul pole all the way to Lf foul pole
I agree, good timing, I know on yesterdays run, I believe I was compensating for my right knee. Have started doing more of TRE App stretches and exercises; though I am addicted to getting on the treadmill or on the street, and don’t want to lose my momentum, I hear what you’re saying.
Leggings are not pants. If legging were pants, one could just put paint over their ass and vagina and call it pants. Skin colored vagina = naked. Purple colored vagina = wearing pants.
I have high arch in my feet, it helped a lot starting to use inlays
Ooohhh I thought this was a fat person problem, good to know I’m not the only one
So do you do these stretches before or after? He didn’t say
Out of pure curiosity, why was this recorded at 50 fps instead of 60?? Kinda odd but if there is a reason I’d love to hear it.
I really appreciate the effort but this lady is in a hurry!
Someone is chasing her and after completing this video she might have to run!��
Good talk, Sage. Managing that pain is one of the things I struggle the most with come race day. When I want to put my best out there but my brain says “Stop STOP!”.
Hi, with the kneeling quad stretch, my heel is against my butt but I’m not feeling any kind of stretch. I’m double jointed, I’m unsure this will actually help. Is there another type of quad stretch I can do that will achieve the same result?
Pain is just weakness leaving your body you got to get it out one way or a nother
One thing that always works for me is breathing in very deep into your stomach rather than your chest. It feels weird but it works every time. After about 10 deep breaths into the stomach it’s gone.
So glad I found this video. I’ve been getting this stitch every time I run and it’s so annoying to the point that I tried to squeeze it so hard while running. I tried taking a break from running but it didn’t work. I tried not eating or drinking anything 2 hrs before running but still didn’t work. I’m really worried that I might deal with this for the rest of my life and might discourage me from trying to lose more weight.
Where are you from man? Also, how did you get involved into ultra-running?
Damn! Works like a charm, super effective and instant result.

Thank you for these motivational videos. I love watching them, it helps me in the mornings.
Thank you so much! This was the most helpful video iv watched so far. I was diagnosed with Achilles Tendinitis in February and it was the most painful injury ive ever had; so much so that I couldn’t drive for two days. I am still not back to my old self, the recovery process is very slow, and I just now recently was able to run 3 miles. Ive been doing stretches and massages to help relax my surrounding muscles. Its nice to know that im not the only one and that it does take a while to recover thank you for the helpful reassurance.
You think google serving you ads for something you only talked about in conversation. Well two days ago I ran right after lifting and had these exact problems. I’m going to need you to stop spying on me.
Im 12 and I get this almost every time when I run mostly when I’m playing football because I am a very jittery player and usually bounce around and run as fast as I can
Very chronic injury and it gets worst and worst if you try to push your limits more. It needs full attention and therapy.and no rush for sprint runnings and jumping without full recovery. I learned my self in a hard way. Good luck to everyone and don’t delay to see your Dr if you have any sings of this injury.
When do you know you ready to go after injury…ask your physiotherapist… I found this really amusing…and I am being polite here…
I always get it on my right side when I’m running a lot in basketball games it always comes around like 14 minutes of continuous running and I’m a good runner for track always won first place but have been getting the cramp on my right side since I was 7 idk how to get rid of it

What is your top tip for dealing with a side stitch?
I avoid running
I’m experiencing a very tangible sensation of being more knowledgeable after watching this. Amazing
Did two exercises from bed just now and the pain is gone. I’m new to running but I’ve technically done half marathons but the goal is to complete it without stopping and having a great time
Hi…….., what’s with all the drinks in the start of almost all your videos…..��
I had cross country today for the first time and when I literally JUST started running I had a side ache or a stitch. It was soooo annoying cause it caused me to walk most of the way witch is really annoying. I slowed down and controlled my breathing but that didn’t seam to work. I didn’t squeeze my side cause I wasn’t sure if that would make it worse or not so I’m going to be sure to do that next time. I am not able to stretch cause my couch would be like “KEEP GOING DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU’RE GONNA WANNA BE STRETCHING IN A RACE?!!!! THATS WHAT I THOUGHT. MAKE IT A HABIT IT AINT GONNA DO YOU NO GOOD”
I would advise not to sprint downhill on concrete. Im actually having knee issues as I was doing my speed work downhill on pavement trying to increase my mile time.
Im overweight and have started working out a month ago. I run on the treadmill for 2 miles (on and off) and get a stitch every time. Could this be weight related?
Going through hell lost my family went into financial downfall ruined credit and on top of it all lost my job. Through all this hell and adversity I never stopped training. Some days in the gym I would feel like crying and stop working out but something inside of me told me to continue. I can’t say how many times I wanted to just let everything go from the depression. But someone told me that this dark time is here to make me stronger mentally and that life does this to filter out the bad to make room for the good.
Deep squat hold for at least 5min will help you a lot. It should be done at the end of all the stretching.
Is it 10 procent per run or per week? I run 3 times a week id i run the first week 3×30 minutes and week 2 3×33 minutes? Is that correct?
Great tips, easy to remember and follow. I am already injured with runners knees, but these still will help to stretch while a recover.
What I got out of this is drink more water and eat meals on a regular basis, no snacking in between and eating crap. That solves it, it is what I’m going to try!
I love you all for i love myself i am Dennis Vidot i am the new God i am alive i am not six anymore i am 28 and i do not back down or give up
Tbh I will tell u what eat lots of nutrients walk or run for a long time eat salads keep hydrated slowly u will get better then run for a long time
I always get a side stitch everytime I run,that’s why I decide to search up how to get rid of stitches
Made that mistake, I am 62 years old, I was trying to get my 1.5 mile time down below 12 minutes, I over did it running sprints at 1:45 per quarter mile…. sure enough the hamstring basically went insane, along with the bursae, and multiple areas of intense pain and swelling 6 weeks now and still can’t run
Great, well grounded advice and really well presented! Thanks.
So would u say these are good stretches to do everyday after a workout? Or before a workout? And should I do them even on days I’m not lifting weights?
What about TENS -treatment? I use it on my upper back to relieve pain and take away tension. I would imagine TENS would help with my tendonitis also. Good video, thank you.
There is one immensly important thing about Tendonitis. It often comes from shortened muscles on the shinebone side and a shortened Plantar fascia. I had a tendonitis and only with stretching these muscles and (and not the Achilles Tendon!) I got rid of the pain within 3 days. I do it 1 or 2 times daily now and the pain never came back. Try that for healing and also preventing a Tendonitis. It takes only a few minutes and its alsogood for your ankle flexibility you need for proper swimming. Dont stretch the Achilles tendon too often. There’s enough tension on the tendon as it is. Stretching would be counterproductive.
this is whats happened to me! my left hip is killing me, i always arched my back when i ran and i pulled my shoulders back and i didnt let my arms swing. now i have this pain thats slowly gotten worse in my left hip and i also have one leg thats slightly longer than the other i think its the left side.
I’m someone who doesn’t run often and I still got one…
How?!
Why?!
This is a really helpful video for runners in pain. Yes, we’ve all been there, and done that, right? I am also trying to add other exercises like core strengthening pilates and yoga almost every single day to ease the pain in my joints and muscles to keep running. Thank you so much for your warm thoughts and headsup for us, coach Nate!
I just started feeling this injury a week ago and had a run event today and now I’m it is really painful. Have a triathlon in 2 weeks, any tips to what should I do?
I’ve been dealing with sharp pain under my right rib cage on every run for over a year. Even went to the ER thinking it might be my pancreas or liver. Dozens of tests later: specialists have no idea.
Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about Dinanlinson Rocky Position Approach (do a search on google)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to fix chronic knee pain minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.
when i was 10 I had a stitch, so then randomly I decided to cry, Omg
