    Whats your favourite training session? Let us know !
  • Runner since 1994. As a 53 year old runner, I can appreciate these tips. The only thing I can say is running is not effortless but full of efforts to stay injury free and motivated. Health and mobility is my reason to continue my running. Thanks for your content! 👍🏻
  • @EatMyPropwash
    I’ve been running 20-30 minites every day for the month of November. Should finish around 110miles. I’m not fast, but consistent which makes you fitter and faster. Thanks for the tips!
  • @andrewstone2896
    After 5 years of not being able to run because of a back injury, I am so happy to be back. Yes I have to still keep it super slow, conversation pace I dare say, but I am happy to do it. I look forward to my daily morning runs. These tips are ever so welcome. ❤🇿🇦
  • @citrix123
    When I started running first, I had huge football fitness coming into it and was always running way too quick than I should few races and 2 years later weird injuries came in and took nearly two years of walking and recovery, when I was getting back i strayed running again and had easy runs which by right I never really went easy, and now I'm learning more about running than I ever had before, this video is exactly what I needed to see at this time also, the algorithm knows all 😁😂👏
  • @dr.s.p.
    Love all your videos, which has helped me so much over the years in trying to - well, run! I’m 73 and all your tips in so many videos made me transform my running style to really enjoying my runs finally. Actually, they are walk runs now and those little breaks help me stay in the groove and prevent injuries and more importantly it’s during those little walks I hear and feel nature all around me here on the Isle of Man.
  • @Himlovesrunning
    3 miles every weekday and then it’s 5/10 KM on weekend. Can’t be more happy as to what it has done for my well-being. Loving runners high ❤️
  • @oliviasteer1
    Thankyou for this amazing video it has really helped to improve my running style. At the moment i am very messy and every body else at my level has quite a stable running style so now i can go out there and feel more confortable in my technique. Im only thirteen and already thinking of the olympics in a few years so thankyou!
  • @JP-1990
    I often have to run/jog to work to get there on time, sometimes with boots on. So this was a major help for me. Thank you.
  • Thank you for this video, I just got back from jogging/walking. I haven’t jogged in several years. I got inspired by a movie I was watching last night, I think it was called Four Minute Mile. Anyway, I went to Academy and bought some Brooks Tennis shoes for like 150 bucks!!! So, I jogged/walked for about 15 minutes. Not much, but, it was a start. I intend to start running again, looking at this video gave me some great tips I intend to use, So again, thank you!

    I came to these same (similar) points years ago but could never explain them this way. I couldn't get more than a mile before my knees would start acting up and swell. I taped the soles of my shoes to see what I was doing, heel running. So I went completely barefoot and that let me feel exactly what was going on and how to fix it... although it took an entire season I can now run for many miles with zero knee issues, faster and smoother. The main key for me was getting the strike from my heel to midsole by shortening my stride and upping the cadence accordingly. Although it's not easy for everyone to run completely barefoot due to running surfaces I just chose a park that I could alternate grass and fine gravel and I was fine. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to really get a feel for what's going on.
  • Chi Running and the Pose Method point out these things as well. Implementing them is the difficult bit. Although I just run for fun, I’ve increased my cadence and reduced my ground contact time (according to Garmin Connect) but I’ve got an arthritic knee that now causes my ground contact balance to be way off (it was 50/50 not long ago). I also pronate excessively which I’m trying to fix. I finally invested in NURVV insoles which confirm the pronation (and my belief that I am a midfoot striker). I’m currently working on “line of sight”.
  • @bonsuman1
    What more can I say, but thanks for giving us "six of the best". Really useful tips, and a great backdrop. The question is how to build all those elements into your running so it happens subconsciously!
  • @mathekompe7107
    Thanks a lot. Makes perfect sense. I think core workout may assist.
