Will you be adding these drills to your run workouts? 🏃‍♂️

[@robhorsley6062]

Love these pro tip drills videos, really helpful, especially to us non-elite types! Thanks

[@9freesolo]

@GNT: I'm no triathlete, but a runner. These tips are specially interesting, as I've never heard about them. And I read a lot of tips...

[@Kid_ofthefuture]

tomorrow !!

[@erictravis5995]

Definitely, a good reminder!

[@peelandy]

Yep

[@KlemenSuligojTri]

Ministry of silly walks approves this video 👍

[@kufgeo]

Missed the chance to call it "Tim Don's Do's and Dont's" on the thumbnail!

[@strange_and_random]

you`ve just read my mind!

[@markthrelfall3577]

Brilliant 😂

[@WWROABM]

Love that you guys take drills straight out of a sprinter's handbook. No matter the distance we are all runners, and can learn from each other. Thanks!!!!

[@Metall-fe2sm]

I'm going to do these before my run this afternoon. I have learned so much from GTN channel. Cant thank you enough for all the handy professional advice 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[@gtn]

🙌

[@RoInArN]

He said about crashing injuries so casually like it was a bruise or some scratches on the butt! Thanks for the video GTN!

[@johnshermandcdibak4284]

I have learned so much from GTN yet this video was a reality check. How many of us just go out and run? We use the excuse, “I’m so short on time.” I am guilty of this. Love the drills.

[@zac1672]

Such a legend. Been watching Tim since I started triathlon 10 years ago

[@edd1016]

Great tips thanks, I tried running on a canal today but it quickly turned into a swim.

[@Lockhart2000]

Well at least you know you're not the second coming of christ now so you can relax.

[@Sanko1960]

Excellent tips and drills from someone I truly admire as a person and athlete. Thank you Tim and Mark.

[@bryanqueme996]

Perfect timing, I have a half marathon this weekend; definitely doing these drills

[@JiriPut]

Brilliant clip, easy to implement before a run, not to long but just qualitative short drills. Thanks!

[@dazzakelly2024]

Brilliant video...so much good sensible advice for all levels..Tim is the man! Well done Mark, great vid.

[@clivepritchard]

Thanks Tim and Mark, I found the hip belt concept really helped me. Coupled with a tucking under of my hips I can control the high hamstring tendonopathy that has given me grief for the last 3 years.

[@markmcfadden7428]

Great tips. Love Tim Don, the guys seems very genuine.

[@gemmatredwell1734]

Really good drills which are doable before a run, thanks GTN and Tim

[@jmurrayathletics]

Great video, tips were extremely insightful!

[@MFMLapeno]

Love Tim Don! What a great guy!

[@damianor6886]

Great advice, practical and simple to add into a run as well 👍

[@MuckleBug]

Great tips, I will definitely be putting some of those drills into my routine.

[@trisi1048]

Great Advice from a great triathlete Thanks!

[@GrooveyBobby]

So good 😊 thank you for sharing 💛

[@chrismackenzie28]

Great video, lots of good information even for an old seasoned triathlete.

[@notmyrealname6272]

Wow so good. Will be trying all of that.

[@andrewwhite1138]

This was awesome! Love these kinds of videos.

[@gtn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cancertokona6298]

the fast feet drill I tried tonight and will definitely keep that in the round!

[@jamiefuhrman403]

It's a real treat anytime you can bring in a pro!

[@LeonelTuto]

Excellent qualitative drills

[@davidwaldron5312]

Great tips

[@jobanski]

I’m saving this video!

[@zekevfab]

Tim is such a nice and talented athlete… Thanks for sharing some tips with us mere mortals!! 😁

[@robplowden1399]

Thanks for the video. When is the best time to do these run drills. Before or after the run? On long run days or on tempo runs?

[@trevorhayes5414]

Awesome tips and drills. Followed him for ages as he was a former duathlon world champ (I prefer du's over tri's if I'm honest - still waiting for the Global Duathlon Network! 😁), and also super happy for him after his recovery from that horrific 2017 car accident in Kona. More Tim! 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@D4D22]

Tim‘s positivity is infectious

[@ChristophMittendorf]

Legend!

[@spenabella]

Great one. Very useful tips

[@gtn]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you :)

[@peelandy]

Top bloke giving top advice

[@eccho1]

Whoa I've never seen anything like these drills.... How interesting. Might try these

[@midsfella]

Legend 💪💪💪

[@ashdanga]

Tim Don, the legend 🙏🏼

[@gordonpearce5641]

That’s really helpful, cheers

[@gilbertamthor5098]

This was awesome! Well done. More like this. But were u dressed to go snow skiing after? Lol

[@GGori_99]

A B C drills i can do.. just for the loosen up some of the tight hips and quats

[@davidpalmer8591]

Good video

[@benjaminzachwieja8133]

I believe Manon did a video of slow down and slow up lower back leg drill. And also mentioned the soreness...👍

[@JonathanPeterssonPiano]

Wow, he seems like the nicest guy in the world

[@gtn]

We're very lucky to have Tim in the world of triathlon 🙌

[@markthrelfall3577]

He really is!

[@EatThis79]

Great video and also I'm so jealous of you guys having to wear a jacket... Running is a pain at this time of the year in Greece, because of the extreme heat and humidity, hence the envy :)

[@oengus5686]

Yiannis Kouros 🐐

[@Badboi12353]

Plzz do a video on 1 mile training🙏

[@nerd_endurance_dad]

I recognise where you are. Good old Race Hub, Six Hills.

[@markthrelfall3577]

Cracking venue

[@azzabanjani]

looks like my local race hub at six hills! lol

[@damonhammond1223]

Oh my local club. Shout out to everyone at Racehub 🙌 Did you manage a swim Mr Threfall?

[@Kid_ofthefuture]

omg !!

[@BobBob-uv9fq]

Skipping must help ?

[@henryyp]

Would just call it - "Don's an Dont's" 😁

[@Lockhart2000]

Very underappreciated comment.

[@lil-g4879]

My calves have ruined my running. Plus poor ankle mobility so I may give this a go.

[@itarry4]

I've always thought it was Tim's ability to hurt himself and keep pushing when others would back off that sets him apart. He's talented yes but he's always appeared to be someone who operates above his level in every disapline he's done.

[@kunalsinghgahlot4822]

Please do a beginner to pro running program ❤️❤️

[@gtn]

Sure, we can look into this but we'd need a distance target? What do you think 🏃‍♀️

[@itarry4]

@@gtn why not take a totally new amateur Triathlete and get the channel to coach them through all 3 sports till they can compete in a Triathlon. It'd be amazing to watch someone take the whole journey.

[@maryjohannah1234]

@@itarry4 great idea! finally something most of us can relate to, that'd be cool to watch

[@kimeven8477]

I'm in totally agreement with you guys. I'm so blessed to have found this channel. I stumbled upon it when I was experiencing knee pain and was worried I would have to give running up. The video on preventing knee injuries has been a tremendous help. In addition to yoga I implemented the drills for knees, etc. My performance improved, but I am still a work in progress.

[@stijndeklerk]

Had to watch a second time.. "Heel raises religiously.."

[@chch242]

Is this the actual weather in UK? Coats? We are cooking in central Europe :-/

[@markthrelfall3577]

This was filmed a couple of months back, but yes. One day it will be glorious, the next miserable 😂

[@chch242]

@@markthrelfall3577 oh, I see. Thanks :-)

[@glywnniswells9480]

What is Tim Dons 10k pb

[@jm6734]

Heaven knows all this is sensible. But to be honest I know that after putting on the shoes and getting outside - I just wanna get on with it. Of course at my age there’s no chance of going pro ;-)

[@ejquezad]

I have to say that I miss to see Tim Don in the spot light. It almost seems like he is on his way out 😔

[@mattsavory49]

He is 40 odd, had a good innings

[@Lockhart2000]

Well son of a gun. I've just been going outside and running like a complete twat. Thanks eh. Lol.

[@gregking7570]

My friend walks like when he messed with another man's girlfriend.

Don't Do Drills What Tim Don Don't Do
