"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much."

"Just wanted to say Im 2/3 through your running program and WOW what an insane difference".

”I have done the first two audio lessons now. It's amazing what a difference you made for me. I ran 90 minutes yesterday and have never felt so refreshed both during and after the workout, and then I have never run so fast with the same low heart rate. Thanks for that!!”
Update from a runner after two of the six audio lessons
"I can honestly say it is some of the clearest and best instruction I have ever recieved in any topic. After a year of shin splints I went for a run yesterday and was almost in (joyful) tears because I had zero pain, so thank you!!"

”I got your online course and it almost instantly fixed my running form. I can prove that by having half an hour faster marathon finishing time.”

"I knew nothing about running other than put one foot forward in front of the other...and fast. Then I signed up for his course. Mind blowing!... and too cheap if you ask me. Totally recommend it."

Another fantastic video, very informative as always. So many runners regardless of level would benefit from this channel

I do love how you talk about running. You've got the same passionate 'rant' about technique nonsense that I do with rowing!! Once I've cleared up whatever is wrong with my hip flexor and can run again, I'll take a look at whether your course can help me get back to speed before the HYROX season kicks off again.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, expertise and experience!
-
Best running channel on YT!
-
Excellent video. Thank you for posting! :)
-
this helped me tremendously thank you! I always thought I was landing below my center of mass, but I was way overstriding
-
Fredrik.. loved this explanation!
-
Thanks for valuable information for beginners like me.
-
thank you, that was very helpful.
-
Congratulation🎉 Frederik produces one oft the best or even the best videos on the topic. Can you tell us something about the function of the hips? Can the concentration on the thighs in the upper area give some more forward pull? Thank you. Great content always 😊
-
Found this video fascinating as an animator. Brilliant explanation. Thank you!
-
Thank you so much ✌👍
-
This is pretty cool. I took your course and liked it. Still working on the main point at the end that ties it all together - I won't spoil it for all those that need to buy and take it! A thought though, it would be cool to see what the needs are doing. It almost looks like they swing in a pendulum motion. How does that connect back to the hips and that to the shoulders?

71 years old! My running technique feels increasingly awful. I might be well advised to try “running on my head.” :):) Wonderful video, as always. Thank you.
-
could you make a video about how ankles should flexed and what the feet should be doing while running
-
The testimonial segment was epic 😂🎉
-
Great video as always. I am looking forwad to that pushback motion video because the question "what the leg should do when it is on the ground (and just before it hits the ground)" is interesting for me.
-
Nice video. The 3D run capture is a great When I started triathlon, I came across a "Certified Pose or Chi" run coach. Even being new to running, I thought this is dumb and defies simple logic. While briefly connecting with a pro athlete at Ironman, I asked about technique. She said simply, the most efficient running technique you'll learn is during the course of an Ironman. I found that simple yet accurate.

thanks for the great advice, it is hard to learn to run from the internet but with this channel I believe it is possible

Hi, I really appreciate your explanations on this intriguing matter. I have severe problems with my calves (gastro), they are always too tight alternatively. I changed my posture to solve a problem with my hips. Hip problem solved now, but I struggle with calf pain. I use now drop-10 shoes. Running technique is really key. Tnx a lot. Cheers
