    First time in my life I can say I'm a perfect 10! :)

    Here are a 3 mistakes of mine that culminated to my current achilles injury: 1. Constantly running on pavement instead of soft surfaces (i.e., dirt trails) 2. Not giving enough recovery days between running. 3. Not performing post-run stretches What's healing my injury: 1. Self massage on achilles tendon 2. Compression 3. Calf-stretches 4. Soaking injury in warm water and epsom salt once a day.

    Defnitely forgot to run for fun. The past few months, I have been wondering why I couldn't seem to get motivated to go out. I appreciate being called out. Now I will just have to go out for a gentle few miles and see if it feels better, no timer, no tracker, just me and the wind.
  • Okay, I think you've inspired me to FINALLY warm-up before every run. Ugh. Such a bad habit of zipping out the door and then not even stretching once I'm back!
  • Don’t do what I just did this last weekend and run 13.1 miles after exclusively running 6 miles every other day for the past 2 months, work up to your long runs.
  • 1. Ignoring pain 2. Ignoring good healthy habits (warm-ups, mobility training, strength training, etc) 3. Running at the same pace all the time 4. Ignoring running form 5. Following a running plan too closely 6. Focusing too much on the miles you run and comparing yourself with other runners 7. Overly supportive and overly cushy shoes 8. Running in incorrect or beat up shoes (like wearing running shoes even when not running) 10. Missing out on hydration 11. Sitting too much for extended periods of time

    I have done 10 out of 10 mistakes. I’m glad there are others sharing their mistake/feedback to make us all better runners. Great tips, thanks Coach Nate!!
  • @davidjsouth231
    I still run on pavement. I just hate going to the local high school to run in circles. Probably better because of the soft surface. I don’t warm up enough. I naturally jog slow
  • @Jadinandrews
    Mistake number 11: signing up to a half marathon with less than two months to prepare
  • @Pepperman86
    Mistake #6 is always killing my run streaks (start&stop) and joy!
  • @JodiVerse
    I just "discovered" you this morning, about 45 minutes before heading out for a run, and have already watched two of your videos. I couldn't hit SUBSCRIBE fast enough. Thank you!
  • @jeanlee28
    This video is definitely gonna be my go-to manual or a great reminder for injury prevention. Thanks so much, coach Nate👍🙏
  • @aidaalvarez1868
    Thanks so much for sharing all this info. I have taken notes of the changes I need and looking forward to improve.
  • Glad i found this channel as ime a very beginner when it comes to 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️
  • @GreyJedi17
    Thank you coach Nate. This is very important. I find your channel is really genuine and concerned about injury which is a very real problem , for elite or amateurs. Especially beginners. I had a bad ITBS last year. Hope new runners will watch this before they go further in training. Thanks coach. You're the best
  • @MilesBe
    Amen!! in regards to mistake number one, I thought just resting would help my runners knee but it didn't. It is so much bigger. You really have to be active in your recovery and doing those exercises that will help you get stronger and increase mobility!! Thanks Coach Nate!!
  • @Dannychan28
    This was so incredibly motivating, thank you for the wisdom. Love it!!! Keep doing what you do!!!!
  • At the beginning of my journey from couch to 5k I progressed to run around 8k, 10k four, sometimes five days a week. What was my mistake? I didn't eat enough. I was confused why suddenly I wanna eat more, and constantly felt guilty about that. Simply I just needed more energy. Same goes with the days you just wanna be a pancake, but even though you push yourself to run. Listen to your gut, it's an amazing, advanced computer in your body. Trust yourself.
  • He is so consistent and has put out so much content for us runners! That is really appreciated, honestly .
