[@RipenedKarma]

I never knew running could get so deep. I’m so glad i ran into this channel though. it has helped me lower my Spartan Race completion time this year! Now i need a video on how to run up a hill more efficiently.

[@TheRunExperience]

Victor Chan search how channel - we have quite a few hill workouts!

[@arielvaldez7793]

It’s crazy how we’re supposed to be the smartest animals on this planet but we need tutorials on how to run properly

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Same with diet, sleep etc. We have strayed too far, time to return to our roots.

[@killa-sadie]

this comment is very old but there is no right way to run, this is just a tutorial on a more comfortable way of running and less tiring basically. l

[@vol.2653]

I meannn cheetahs are fast but I’m pretty sure if they were smart enough to make tutorial videos they’d be even faster.

[@pandaclysm205]

It's not about running. It's about running better. Efficiency and speed. Anyone can run but do you want to do it better.

[@leimleim]

Our ability to gather and learn from other stories is in part one of the features of our humanity

[@notapro968]

I am over fifty so good form is so important to me to avoid injury to my aging chassis🤣😁🏃🏻‍♂️ Sadly speed reduces with age but the enjoyment never fades. Thanks folks!

[@TheRunExperience]

You're so right to be focusing on form! And who knows, there might be a few PRs left in those legs, yet ;)

[@karenalabi2547]

This is great! I quit track freshman year when I was pretty average and knew nothing about form... now im a junior and i haven't ran in over a year.. I just ran a 5k yesterday and a mile today with trash form and of course terrible times😂 well can only go up from here

[@RickMartinYouTube]

I find myself lurching forward, hunched near few miles of longer runs.....face looking down. I think this is common, especially older runners. Having actual video of the faults in bad form would be helpful.

[@KertuAro]

I think I just might do some of these stupid mistakes when I run. So learned something new again, thank you. Currently am injured (hips & buttocks). It's a pain not being able to run 😢 Just canceled my participation to a half marathon too.

[@musclelessfitness2045]

Side to side trunk rotation is a natural counter movement to your hip movement in 3D. By stiffening your core, you will tire those muscles, put a lot of pressure on your legs, and have trouble breathing. Watch how Zersenay Tadesse runs to understand what I'm saying. Running is about letting your body flow, it's not about contracting muscles like bodybuilders.

[@TheRunExperience]

muscle less Fitness flow is certainly the right word. What we’re going after is the sweet spot. Too stiff and too loose are on the extremes. How you find the “right amount” of engagement is the ticket!

[@michaelk11124m]

Great tip on straddling the line. Can't wait to focus on that my next run.

[@VeeC3]

I’m a newbie runner so I’ll take any tips I can get!

[@TheRunExperience]

Super helpful wow the rotational aspect im guilty of

[@zjadaczdzieci]

Grate ! You just diagnosed my problem and now I will start the therapy.

[@imbilta]

I hate running... I am here to make running less painful, to help me not injure myself, and to be done with it as quickly, and as less painfully as possible. I run once a year just so that I don't forget running. : )

[@mohammedkarkadan2334]

that backround tho

[@ruleyourfitness]

Got the app..it covers so much its really awesome. Thankyou for all your information Nate and the lovely way you present it. if my cadence for my 8 mile jaunt was 174 can I half it to get one leg?

[@theparalexview785]

TBH, I'm gonna start walking like 2:03 just to freak out people. Might even try running that way. Okay, nah, someone might mistake me for a zombie.

[@meauxjojo]

Wow. I ALWAYS kick my calves when running and never knew why. Thank you for this!

[@cullenpierce3722]

I’m sorry, but you kick your calves?

[@jadecoley]

Need this, just back training after breaking my ankle and my running form is off. Thanks so much

[@gambi9303]

Why are your feet so internally rotated??

[@jules11yates]

Great tips! Thank you! Form is something I am thinking about all throughout my run.

[@pdprosch]

Good puppy

[@sopatisserie1282]

I definitely twist my body to compensate the fatigue as you have shown. You have explained so well in detail the what and how to fix. This is one of the best videos for beginner runner. I really try to improve my running technique in all aspects in order to run longer. Thanks for your help.

[@alekssetrudi8829]

Thank you...I never ran...I wanted now at 47, after a car hit me...I discovered I can not :(..but what you told and showed is great. Maybe, just maybe...I wil run ..Great advice :)

[@jiebingyu1483]

Wow you are AMAZING - I have been running for 2-3 years and have read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos. You are the BEST! Will practice with your advice. Thanks

[@TheRunExperience]

Wow, thank you so much for your kind comment! So happy we can help 😊

[@fps-elite]

my freinds at school always say i run wirrd and when they show me it looks like i run whith liek my back down or somthing

[@matthewtoner1528]

This is going to help a lot, thanks for the tips! People always complain that I swing my arms too much back and forth, and I calf scuff sometimes, guess I just have to focus on that stuff more and do the drills. Thanks for the help!

[@TheRunExperience]

Happy to hear you pinpointed what you need to work on! It can take some time to make the changes, but it's worth it :)

[@arturoreyesjr.4655]

I have just started running and I have noticed I have poor technique and my body is starting to feel the damage… proper technique is important!

[@clairn3737]

Thank you so so much! This has explained everything I am experiencing. I watched this video with a massive: "ohhhh I seeeee" moment!

[@Oneman_army7]

please help me sir when I am running my body gets one sided while running like left shoulder is in front and right shoulder is backward it is not in equal position while running

[@_sirreginald]

Huh-I wonder if that's why my hip flexors hurt every time I run...

[@vincentaurelius2390]

I've watched a ton of these videos on form and this is the first one I've seen explain how shoulder stiffness affects arm swing which leads to hip rotation which causes grape-vining. I had no idea I was doing so much wrong. Thanks for the quick fix!

[@leoolivares3261]

As soon as i heard the thing about the calves, i knew i was in the right place

[@50Something]

I just did my first 5k and my upper back is killing me. I'm going to get to work with your advice. Thanks!

[@abdullahawk]

Hi. I am greatly inspired by your videos. How do I start running long distances? I would love to participate in a triathlon

[@joelouden6592]

I can't run long enough to even have form problems.

Thank you @Sensei! It is Alcatraz! 😃

I love this video, so helpful but what I love the most is that precious furbaby so well behaved!! adorable

[@jannikhansenhansen4019]

Try look at all elite male Marathon runners, and tell me Again, that your legs cannot land in the middle. You would NEVER prefer to land with you feed wide, that would just get you injured... worst video EVER made on running technique, it should be taken Down immediately!

[@houseofgraceworship]

Any videos on maintaining muscle while increasing our stamina and endurance?

[@pinkrainbowkennelz1640]

Wow where did that dog come from;)

[@syrphilipgulmatico5352]

You got videos for overpronators like me? I cant seem to avoid shin splints.. I cry 😭

[@emptyhand777]

15 to 20 years ago I used to run. It was fun and I was really good at middle distance (1 to 3 miles) I started up running again and I am so uncoordinated you'd never guess I could do a 5 minute mile once upon a time. Anyone have advice for an almost 50 year old who has sat at a desk the past 17 years?

[@CorporateGamer]

4:01 I am going to use this move at my wedding party

[@bossnian5615]

Cool

[@ktinn]

Great vid! I’ve only started to run on the treadmill and I’ve been getting posterior shin splint (I googled the term lol). I did some stretching before running. Is it because of my form?

[@claytonsmoking]

I always wonders why my back was sore after a run i twist left and right very much thanks for the tips

[@joeylira]

I scuff the inside of my ankles and calves sometimes and also wobble occasionally straddling a line, both more pronounced because I’m pigeon-toed. Advice/exercises for pigeon-toed runners?

[@fighter-yo3di]

When I run I have knee pain. I think it is due to the fact that I heel strike. How can I prevent heel striking

[@Willisolarpower]

What are your thoughts on the weckmethod? Just curious, because I just watched his video, and he talks about getting more power by bending, and rotating..?

[@anyasimard8493]

I’ve been told I’m a “toe runner” how would you fix that?

[@martinwright9639]

I run (and walk) very "narrow" and I developed hallux limitus. I think this is exactly what I need! Thanks!!

[@bwsinfonia13]

I was hit by a car about 10 years ago, started running again in August. I had been struggling with pelvic tilt so I watched that video and started to incorporate that into my running but noticed my right hip flexor muscle is carrying more of that load, if that makes any sense? But is it possible that my right hip is higher than my left, not rotating or shifting but just sits higher because of how the car hit (left side @ 35 mph, I went over the car not under).

[@bwsinfonia13]

The question, duh, is that fixable?

[@northernninjarunner5506]

Will try it in the morning. Still recovering from Saturdays Multi Terrain 10k

[@TheRunExperience]

nice work. how'd it go?

[@northernninjarunner5506]

The Run Experience 373m of elevation, 225m at the start was hard. Weather changed from scorching sunshine to torrential rain made the last part of the course very muddy. Lovely views from The Nab and down across the valleys and out towards the sea. Videos uploaded 👈

Thanks for posting this. What a difference it makes after doing these exercises. My biggest issue is not being able to catch my breath after hills. Should I slow down?

[@mslmsldk]

I'm gonna try this. I just hope people will be forgiving in these corona times when they see me approaching them with my arms out like a zombie.

[@franklincollier7591]

I Love this channel 💯👍🏾

[@katie-tu9he]

Just subscribed! Question, though. When I jog in place I can keep my arms out in front of me relatively straight as you demonstrate. When I'm actually running at an easy pace at stride, my left arm stays straight but my right one swings way out. I cannot hold it in. It kind of makes sense because my right leg does this wonky heel whip thing, so I think that's related. Any drills, exercises, stretches or anything else that might help? Thanks, Coach Nate! :)
