This channel is so underrated man

AMEN about shoe fit. I have some brutal blisters. Had to take a couple weeks off training to let them heal lol it was wild. And it was mostly the wrong socks that caused it, at the beginning.

One of your first sentences: during the corona virus times prosper have been going outside more..” how does that make any sense

What an epic hike that was! Almost from another planet, what a view.

As someone relatively new to running but not cycling, I think that determining an easy pace based on HR is pretty unreliable, as on the bike I'd consider an ,,easy" pace as something that's 140-160hr for me, and my average HR on easy rides tends to be around 130-140, while on an easy run it's always above 150, but 160 while running feels nowhere as hard as 160 on the bike I guess I just move more muscles while running, or I'm less efficient so my sustainable pace has a bit higher hr

That is very good advice

Shoe sizing is tricky, it's hard to have the space up front without sacrificing your heel lock down (for me). I usually have to sacrifice the space up front and hope things break-in accordingly

Pride is the downfall brother, all praise be to God! u'll thank me later if you do. Great video, keep it up.🙌🏼

great

Well done Marc! You had to have some effort there :D

As a beginner runner I wish I had found these tips a few weeks earlier, however I can confirm they are very important. I naturally started recording my runs and noticed I was doing too much too soon and as soon as I paced myself I noticed massive improvements almost immediately.

My tip: Apply a lubricant to areas prone to chafing. For me it’s between my big toe and the next one.

stay consistent. running is way more fun when youre fit and its 1000x easier to maintain fitness than to regain fitness after a month or 2 off

damn dont look at me like that lmao

A lot of people mention going to the toilet before heading out. But an even more important lightweight tool is a few biodegradable wet wipes. Because sometimes you just got to go and there's no way to plan for it.

Nice one

Was thinking of getting the Vertical or the Race. My Ambit 3 peak has been fantastic for the last 10 years. But I’m getting put off my all the lack custom support I keep seeing on social media. Are they getting better at replying to people. Would you go race or vertical. It’s for long ultras. 🤙🏼

Take a ahot everytime he blinks... And you'll still be thirsty

Wow, when I started running nobody had a mobile phone, any that were around like the one my GPO management friend was supplied with you would have needed a small wheel barrow to carry it about. Recording data? forget it. Very few running specialist shops, one max in our town and maybe a couple in the center of Manchester. How did we manage without specialist advice. The fell runners in our club just went out and, er, ran, literally for thousands of miles, like I did. 3000 training miles per year was normal, with may dog, one of my friends, now in his seventies used to run at least 4000 miles per year. He was still doing some veterans races when quite old. I cannot run now at 79 but can still Nordic walk with poles. For special fell shoes we all went to a guy called Walsh who hand made his shoes on the premises, a terraced house shop in Bolton. He started out making rugby boots then branched out into fell shoes. You could actually have them resoled because the uppers were nearly bomb proof. Reebok tried to muscle in with shoes but failed miserably, the shoes they made could not stand the strain and soon came apart. My 3000 miles per year were supplemented with 4000 miles going to work and back on my pedal cycle. My running miles were all measured off a 2.5 inch map with a map measuring wheel device. Needless to say we did not have KZbin advice videos as KZbin and current laptops with all sorts of apps did not exist, windows had only just changed over from Latin and Roman numerals.

YES!!! For once you showed the throw of water

I've worn US 8.5 womens all my running life (25 years)...the last two times I went to a running shop outside of the US, Germany and UK, they've told me to wear a US 9.5. It did have the condition of a thumbs width difference from the front of the toebox to my big toe, however each time I bought a US 9.5, I've gotten injured or my foot is sliding both left and right and front to back (front to back especially on a downhill), where I've injured my calves and gotten huge hotspots and blisters. I don't know if it's due to always running in my US 8.5 and my body is used to it, or if the thumb width rule wasn't accurate, but I've had to give up my 9.5 shoes within a week (or my last pair, my first run in them downhill). PS: This is with the heel lock lacing. So unsure about how I feel about this rule for when picking out shoes... anyone else have a similar issue with this sizing technique?

you look a bit like somebody that i used to know... hmm, oh well 😂

Thanks for sharing Marc. Can you buy skratch labs in Finland? I can’t seem to find a stockist oh and I do enjoy your style of shooting videos - down to earth raw honesty and valuable advice. Keep ‘em coming🥳

Ah, now I know why you were in the Uk …didn’t quite get to finish our conversation when you tried to tell me - too much other talking and interrupting 😊😊

"It's no Boulder Colorado." Haha! True but still a beautiful area. My achilles/lower calf also flared up after a long run just over a week ago. I continued running but ensured that I kept the miles easy (no speed runs). It continues to feel better. Glad you're recovering and staying healthy! Cheers!

Why u pull ur eyes up bro? good vid tho

Hey on one of the shots, you had some mud on your wrist also, or was it on the camera lens 🤔😅😂

Chills from that opening shot!

Mud, mud and more mud. Welcome home!

Fabulous 👏

Great to have you back in the UK for a bit mate. I look forward to future episodes in the series. I wonder who you might meet 🤣🤪

Not only you need a cup of tea, but marmalade on your toast, and maybe some eggs and sausages and baked beans!😂

5k in 40min? Wow

I have 2 different sized feet, so I always have to buy for the bigger foot, which means one foot is always swimming in the shoe 😢😢😢

Had to go delete my computer historic the way he was looking at me…

My top tip: put on chapstick on cold days, it helps to warm up the air that is coming in through your mouth, so that you’re not breathing in cold air.

Nice video, thank you! I'm trying to get into running and its HARD. Never been good at it, never played soccer or anything that might help me for running. I'm coming from strength sports / bodybuilding-like training. I'm to heavy too for long runs

As someone who is about to take up running. would you recommend a carbon plate shoe? Im hearing good things about the superblast but it has no carbon plate which apparently reduces fatigue and gives you more energy. Im 30 years old, pretty unfit but looking to get into shape from running. thanks.

pay to win?

Cool

Before a tempo run, I like to jog for a mile on my treadmill at a super easy pace, then hit the tarmac outside like a demon on steroids. No injuries so far.

How did you and your girlfriend get to and from Baga for the Race. My girlfriend doesnt drive, im not sure she would be keen to wait 21 hours for me in Baga 🙂

why are your eyes open so wide bro

Please offer the "Vertical" and "Race"in an all white color (not Birch but white, Please) and also offer the Vertical with the Amoeled display!!

It's a fantastic shoe, so happy I've rediscovered New Balance after ... a 25 year hiatus. Their innovation Fresh Foam is truly "the shit".

Excuse me kilometers, what is that commmie shit?

My tips/experience: 1. Avoiding runner's knee is relatively simple, just use mindfulness on your body several times during one run. If you consciously mind your body, it will respond back the locations where stress needs to be relieved. Adjust/adapt to it, and the symptom of runner's knee pain won't come up. 2. Good routine before and after one run. For me, before one run, that's stretching, miniature massage on the feet and going to the toilet.

But Goggins taught me to not wear a shirt when it's nearly freezing out?

New suunto vertical and race needs trackback function!

*Thanks Loki*
