How do you know if your glutes are working when you're running. In this video I'm going to show you some of the most important signs that your glutes might not be firing when you run, so that you can keep an eye out for when you're next running. Lots of physiotherapists and coaches tell runners about the importance of using your glutes when running, both in terms of creating a better running technique, but also for running injury prevention... However, how can you tell if you are using your glutes to run, or not? Today, I'm going to try and clear that question up for you!

ABOUT ME: I'm James Dunne, a runner, sports rehabilitation therapist (similar to physical therapist) and coach based in the UK (Norwich and London).

Since 2007 I've been working with athletes focusing specifically on helping distance runners and triathletes overcome injury and improve performance through developing their individual running technique.

Running biomechanics and physical therapy are real passions of mine. I love to help runners run strong and stay injury free.

    I scuff my calves and tend to have external hip pain. Working through you videos and seeing a physio next week. I’m ready to feel like a strong runner again!
  • @Kelly_Ben
    Lol ok I confess, since watching glute activation videos, I've been looking for some clear "butt feeling" to tell me I'm using them. This was a relief to see!
  • @hayleyhessen6642
    I had a very sore lower back from running... But after implementing you advice... It really improved.... thanks so much!
  • @brettwilson8789

    Another great video! James' channel has done more to improve my running form and speed than just about any other resource.

    Great Information James! I've really enjoyed learning from you though my years of injury and recovery! Take care and be safe!
  • @giovannasculli5073
    Great! Thank you! And now I understood why I find the mesh of my shoes brushed inside!!
  • @helend2820
    Excellent video, thank you. I always learn a lot from watching your videos!
  • @mahoneymanbarry
    Another lil gem, these tips really help improve my running. Thanks a million
  • @janetthoke6326
    Your information is great! Easy to understand and extremely useful! I cannot thank you enough!!!
  • @diegomaicu
    I like and appreciate all your videos but I think this is one of the most fundamental. Thank you for sharing.
  • @Dexduzdiz
    My goodness, thank you soooooo much 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I really needed this
  • @karenanderson1806
    Can't tell you how much I am appreciating these detailed videos. A few months ago I was feeling a strained hamstring and adductor on my left leg only after running. The physio suggested weak glutes on the left side and gave me strengthening exercises and activation tips. Hadn't realised the ankle clip (and scuffs on my shoe!) were caused by the same thing! Thank you so much :)
  • @grgr6720
    All excellent points. Quality content.
  • @Knud451
    Nice! I can really relate to the lack of internal rotation. Would be great with a video on how to improve internal hip rotation in both running and walking. It's difficult to be mindful of it all the time.
  • @supersnake_1223
    The most valuable 9 minutes I've ever spent time on. Every issue you described but the knees tilting in and ankle taps I'm currently having issues with. And im most definitely a quad and calf runner after you explained what it was. This wasnt always the case for me, this is because off not keeping on top off fitness during lockdown. I have strong glutes but just proves I'm not activating them on my runs and my quads and calves are dominant and taking over. Thank you for this valuable information.
