    I like the running gear everyone was wearing! Professional
  • What is gong on in here? Makes a statement and then backs it up with a peer reviewed article from a respected article? Inconceivable! Liked and Sub'd!
  • No wander I am having a swollen foot I almost gave up thinking as though I am not doing anything. Thank you
  • I just don’t find all of these very practical - or maybe it’s just me who’ll need a lot of convincing to go on a thread mill… or do those funky exercises to chance my running style. Also, didn’t you just say not to force a running style? Also in the previous video is says to let the heel show to the sky - just found it not so coherent, but could be just me 😀

    So no zone 3......huh. Good to know... THANK YOU!
  • Why was I always told to lift my knees high when running? I feel like it’s a guaranteed way to land out front and put the brakes on??
  • I know you have good intentions with this video. I agree with a lot of things, but here are a few things I disagree with : - Cadence: When it's an easy/recovery day, it's fine to go down to 160-165 steps per min, as long as your steps are quick and you don't stress your quads (or other muscles) - Butt kicks standing: It is not natural to force a butt-kick while standing and to base your running off of it. You will heavily tire your hamstrings which leads to your problem #3 - Foot landing: It should be natural, not forced, which means you should land flat (mid foot strike) in order to fully support your body. If you land on your toes or forefoot, you will stress and injure your metatarsal bones.
