Essential Running Tips | Before BMT

Go see a doctor before you exercise. I'm not a doctor. Don't sue me.
i love you

[@Kiahlaflame]

Ive been running since I was 8 and all my coaches have said "Running is 90% mental and 10% physical" if you have this mindset you'll be great!

[@headshot9487]

kiah43 hell no

[@headshot9487]

kiah43 so your telling me i can run a 4:40 mile tommorow

[@sierrajuanchi7756]

My coaches say the same thing! haha

[@casea8551]

I know this is old but I agree. My form was terrible when I had low confidence. I would "shuffle" because when I was running I didn't want to make eye contact with people I passed so my head was always down. I also was afraid I looked and sounded weird when I tried to breathe properly so it would hinder my air intake.

[@HootieWhox]

My main struggle with running is learning not to just stop and walk when I get tired.

[@bug5327]

Nah I get you. Me too

[@chriss8206]

All KZbinrs need to take pointers from this video. He's got the perfect sound level to his music and he's using himself to instruct. Not super loud music and subtitles. Good job producing this video.

[@abbieamavi]

"dropped his twinkie" oh man your humour makes the tips even better haha

[@ajagoodson7245]

Thank you. This was a much needed video. Running is my only fear because I completely suck at it. I leave in almost 3 months and I have a long way to go

[@phillipgonzalez5011]

Yo your very very helpful I don’t usually comment on peoples pages because I don’t care but I subscribed to you I think u definitely know what your talking about I’m thinking about joining the air force and I wanna get ready and you’re definitely helping with that you don’t stutter u don’t even “Um” in your sentences your not a slow talker your straight to the point your awesome lol thank you man keep these coming I’m sure your helping a lot of people like myself

[@Augustin88123]

wow perfect timing im studying for the asvab and i hate the thought of runing

[@Strong42Ox]

FORM OVER SPEED!!! will never forget those words from my coach

[@yourmilitarymoney]

Great video, advice and editing skills!

[@Latingunner1]

I actually just bumped into your channel. these are really helpful advices I did not knew about the stomping I tend to do that so many thanks

[@TrueInvisible]

searched for a video about how to shower quickly, ended up here without even noticing, do not regret it a single bit! very great video! i did not know such a channel exists! wow!

[@ashleymoore9709]

Great video ❤️❤️❤️❤️I got off the treadmill months ago when I saw your video ❤️❤️👏👏

[@robertkurschat9808]

I watched this about a year and a half ago, when it almost killed me to run 14 min 1.5 miles. Left for BMT 358 days ago and, thanks to this and other videos, arrived at Lackland able to run it in under 12. These tips really work.

[@jasonroberts8206]

Wow. This video is golden. So much helpful information. Really appreciate it. Had to save the video so I can reference it later to review. I especially like the nutrition break down. It seems like it's difficult to get accurate info on what our bodies actually need and why. There are loads of misinformation out there. Makes it confusing.

[@brianmontgomery6413]

Tips for a treadmill, always use an incline. Its more natural as well as using more of your muscles.

[@JTwatchesyoutube]

id also like to add that running with others is great, especially if they are slightly better than you. I joined track this year and it helps with motivation as well as pushing past previous boundaries.

[@thomasmcadoo1589]

Very Informative, Great Video! keep it up!

[@silentriver8488]

Going for a run right now! Stoked on this journey. I’m currently fat and overweight. I am 190 and gotta get down to to 165 to join the AF. Thanks for the tips and infor and tips on this channel. Thank you sir!

[@Syntember]

Did you do it?

[@darkfoxbill9657]

Whenever I get dressed to run I always feel like a giant fucking tool.

[@zelloid8940]

Can you make a video more about nutrition and have some examples of healthy meals to make throughout the day :)

[@misinformedgaming3156]

I second that

[@LilManDaSnapStar]

right i need to eat better

[@charleysanti]

Seriously? He's not a nutritionist... Lol

[@charleysanti]

Here's some advice for those who don't know how to eat.. don't eat shit

[@Way2muchreality]

You knkw what else is great motivation? Watching videos of other people working out on KZbin. Seriously helps me a lot.

[@DJWONTONho]

Good stuff WildBlueYonder, you are an ambassador for our Air Force. Keep it up. -Technical Sergeant G

[@peters2928]

lots of good info packed in this. thanks!

[@ChaseSevereWeather]

Haha I see the same runners all the time. Great tips, man. I'm actually joining USAF around January. I'm 30 and so excited! Subscribed.

[@poopdawg2301]

I've read a study that says if you increase the incline of a treadmill 1% it offsets the lack of wind resistance. i find it easier running outside just because when I run on a treadmill I can feel myself holding back, even when I'm borderline sprinting. I'm a lot fast and don't get as tired outside. plus I like to pick a spot at the home stretch and bolt as fast as I can where as on a treadmill you lose explosiveness because you have to manually increase the speed.

[@MadBrad1371]

I cannot wait to enter the Air Force Matt. You inspire me every time I see a video. I will try, TRY to become a SERE but if all else fails I'm looking into security forces! Keep up the videos Matt.

[@imyopapablessup4749]

Thanks for tips and advice. I joined my highschool's MCJROTC program and this will defiantly help whenever we have PT.

[@faithclay3992]

This video was really helpful:) thanks for all the advice I plan on going to the Air Force next year so I have a year to prepare but my run time is 14:30. Trying to make it to 12 mins

[@dadams8281]

Very informative video. Thank you!

[@josecasas7536]

I am joining the army and I have been running like crazy I Tried ur tips and they have been a big help thanks

[@TheSamborambo23]

Great advice thanks 👍🏻

[@thinwig]

I'm genuinely surprised about the people that leave the 6th! Nice to know we are all in the same boat. I'm going in as tactical aircraft maintenance btw

[@TheKapinkrunchkid]

I GOT CERTIFICATIONS! Lol

[@Kiahlaflame]

The description of the video killed me lmao "don't sue me"

[@KingsKittens]

Going to re enlist hopefully this year. Thanks for the info.

[@shanty6953]

i like running on a trail because it removes the need to track laps, plus you 'cant' quit early because your forced to run or at least walk all the way back to your starting spot.

[@0bsidianO]

Love you too

[@ashleymoore9709]

I’ve been running for 30 mins every other day .. my breathing is getting better

[@blafred]

very informative

[@firestarya]

Great video, I was actually about to look for something like this. Also, it might look a little silly, but you can put a sock on the mic just until you get a proper windshield/fuzzy thing.

[@jonw1958]

When I run, I inhale twice, whenever one of my feet touches the ground, and then do the same for exhaling... is that good for running or no?

[@tabithaschultz6308]

Yes that's good. It's what an MTI told me to do as I was gasping my way through my 3rd lap on the first PT day. Helped me so much

[@mikeyeager14]

hey bro great video! ive watched a lot of your content and its been very useful, im actually heading down to meps on monday!

[@KillerOmen]

Dont say anything stupid. When I went, there was a pretty chill dude there with me. He was fit, awesome....very Air Force material. However at the end of MEPS..you see the doc one more time for a final review. He said he had shortness of breath and poof he failed. Day wasted, dreams crushed.

[@devanbrimberg8131]

i have been thinking about joining the air force for a while now. you just got a new Subscriber

[@jacobbrower9959]

Mad lad talking nutrition with the cocoa crispies in the background

[@SimplyAnne1]

Great video, thank you for the information.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

For the longest time I thought he was saying, "Wobbly Blue Yonder". Haha.

[@yusufo258]

Thank you! Ima go run outside now (properly) 😄

[@McRuffin]

When I join I hope I come across a great person like you.

[@MsIrisharcher]

can you do a video on the fine line of video gaming/chatting and getting your business done to be successful? Not staying up too late etc. I know you seem to have this under control. It would help my lad who is just starting follow on school.

[@XrazYakaStudio]

i love your videos in the near future i want to go to the military

[@jolenecruickshank883]

Whats crazy is i fall into all those running categories 😭

[@MetalHead503018]

How do I stop stomping? I have really flat feet and I've just recently noticed I stomp when I run, and even walk!

[@thedrunkmonk8386]

This is my struggle right now, especially with this continuous pain in my left calf after runs. My recruiter is like, "HURRY UP". I've been working on bodybuilding already for a year though, so nutrition I've got down pat. Bodybuilding.com has good articles to help understand all that stuff too.

[@ashleymoore9709]

I appreciate you sir.. I, waiting to ship out waiting on my date

[@kyb2736]

good video 👍👍👍

[@TBeauty_]

why do you have "I love you" in the description box? 😂😂

[@RaeRabbit21]

I have running shoes that are half a size big, great for running for me, but since they aren't tight on my feet, they aren't great for random in place exercises, so I use my regular sized shoes. I assume I'm only allowed one pair of tennis shoes at BMT... Which should I use??

[@Soloeagle54]

I needed this so much.

[@johnathanperretta3320]

i carry around one of those gatorade reusable water bottles all day and i drink maybe about a gallon a day.

[@devynthelegend]

I was the first in my area to DEP in with the air force. My life dream has been to serve our military and tbh my only real proble, is running and its because i stress out and think too much about running while i run so i start to lose my breathing pattern and just get messed up. your tips really help me and have been for the past 9 months literally the day before i went to MEPS. anyone needing more tips on cardio here is a link to help you fellas out www.military.com/military-fitness/general-fitness/how-do-you-get-in-better-cardio-shape

[@valyoncee]

Great video 💪🏽🇺🇸😁

[@2016M-q1s]

Very helpful and informative. Thank you! I'm trying to lose weight to join the Air Force.

[@lindseyyancey5549]

Great video. I have been stressing about running and I leave September 20th. My run time sucks but I have been working at it. Will it be a huge deal if I don't make it close to the 14 minutes the first PT test?

[@chittybangbang7637]

Tip:don't over hydrate.

[@wizardt115]

What happens if you do

[@NA-xp2cr]

@@wizardt115 you just upchuck water

[@Maikitoflow]

Is there an app that's keeps track of the miles you've ran that you can recommend? Or a technique , thanks

[@LostButWon]

Lxrd Inkuh strava

[@infini.tesimo]

One thing you should make a video on is that depending on the location, the base you get assigned to, that will make the difference between being able to really run or forcibly run indoors on a treadmill or if you're lucky have an indoor track. Aka MINOT. People failed left and right there because you are dealing with blizzards and -57 degree weather. No brainer and should be a disclaimer next time.

[@kaileymercy7257]

Great video! No matter what I do I keep getting side stitches while running..any recommendations?

[@russellrichardson66]

You threw alot of shots in this vid😂

[@halohalo7218]

I love the desription of this video

[@lonewolfsim6837]

Runing in a indoor track now, im a future US Airman class 2021. Cant wait to graduate from high school so I can join the Air Force. Update ship out June 22 2021

[@tylerbrangan2746]

the air force has a program in basic training to help you with pt if you're (not up to par)

[@tmogey]

So I'm currently in tech school and I'm going to be stationed at Elmendorf AFB, I was wondering how you like the base? what are its pros and cons?

[@connorwolfe6044]

The only time I notice myself put a lot of unnecessary wait on my joints is when i come up to a sharp turn and I'm sprinting. I probably accidentally every once in a while but that's about the only point I need to work on. 😁

[@kevinwhite8057]

I'm going to BMT Sept 13th I'm in shape but I'm worried and being put in a position of leadership.

[@southernreptile9661]

supposedly there is a new bmt packing list. if so can you make a video on that

[@Keithguinn97]

Im in DEP and my recruiter told me they give out backpacks now with stuff in them when you get there. he said its subject to availability though so if theyre out of some of the stuff youll have to buy it at the bx during the first trip (which isnt a biggie) but yeah. i leave sept 13th and have my BMT packing list if you want to see it. he said even if we do get some of these items when we get there its better to go with some of them already just in case you dont end up getting them

[@southernreptile9661]

+Keith so pretty much pack a normal bag with stuff on the packing list just to be safe?

[@Keithguinn97]

+Tim Munson yea the basics like shower shoes, deodorant, soap.. you dont want to over pack since youll get a trip to the bx when you get there

[@southernreptile9661]

+Keith ah so pretty much toiletries, civilians clothes and your folder that has your paperwork and that's it?

[@Keithguinn97]

+Tim Munson pretty much! and try to get your reporting statement nailed into your head before you leave. our recruiters make us use it as soon as we step into the office

[@metallicafamily001]

Are you gonna make more videos soon?

[@crisantomorales8215]

So I still have 3 months to prepare before basic and I am currently 155 lbs. do you think I can still cut off some weight? I wanna do good when I get to basic so I will pursue my running.

[@njjx8800]

Do you live in your own place while still in the airforce? What your living situation?

[@LifeonEdje]

Swear getting dressed is the biggest one of them all 😂😂

[@jaythemanish]

I'm one of those dudes that run with their head down while breathing straight in and out through my nose. Looks like I got some work to do. Thanks for the tips though.

[@Kensuki]

whats your opinion on alcohol? Like not while on runs or working out or anything, but I usually go running five miles every morning, my mile and a half is down to just over 9 minuets, but at night I'll have a beer or two and a shot, but I've heard a few bad things against it, like it can be very detrimental against progress, but other people saying its complete bs

[@WildBlueYonder]

I would only say that you're gonna convert most of the carbs in your beer into fat overnight, so I wouldn't recommend drinking beer every night. As far as hard liquor, one shot shouldn't affect your running that much. Also, alcohol dehydrates you, so make sure when you drink alcohol to also drink plenty of water before running

[@everdarkling]

I've always had a difficult time when i run. I can't seem to breathe properly. About 2-3 minutes is all i can run and it takes me about 20 minutes to be able to breathe properly again.

[@hxnbe]

"Breathing....woosah" XD

[@Chelesmundo]

leaving september 6th! AFBMT

[@solitaryrocky1541]

Hmm so I am pretty much doing everything right; except I'm a bit off on the nutrition part. I've been just eating oatmeal alone or bananas. My best time for 1.5 miles is 11:02 though.

[@The_lucky_ace19]

my dad said when he was in the navy in the whole day they had to drink either 6 or 8 canteens (srry if its spelled wrong) a day or you could not sleep

[@AntVela314]

Go for a run first thing in the morning and find your target heart rate zone. That and dieting does wonders

[@isaiahflowers3470]

the like to dislike ratio is exactly 111 to 1

[@blastedpotato]

Personally the treadmill got me so fit. I can max my pt test every time. I can go a whole minute under the max. I'm in the army

[@jljlopez20]

Whitechvpel Gaming yeah the treadmill has really helped me but I’ll definitely start running outside on top of it so I can test myself.

[@TeamOverTheEdge]

I run wall to wall in my basement probably not a good read but IDK I always get stop by cops when I go outside and there aren't any tracks near me:/

[@darkfoxbill9657]

I always run at around 2am and that is pretty much my worst fear when I'm out there.

[@alex6306]

Go outside, running in the basement is not good for you. Put on some motivational videos on KZbin & you’ll get it done trust me I do that

[@charleysanti]

Bro.. try Simply Orange ornage juice. Delicious.. I used to be a Tropicana guy myself

[@scab268]

technically the best way to drink water is to drink water when you're thirsty, if you drink too much water it could exacerbate problems. Unless you have some kinda medical condition i dont know about, but chances are you dont.

[@iATiA.888]

Hey wild blue yonder Im shipping out soon and I SUUUUCK at running was bmt really hard for you or do u think they'll help me get in shape

[@ZagPC]

In the same boat, worried about running at BMT and leave nov 7, when do you leave?

[@leahhulme9456]

lol I laughed at this !! Was funny

[@Wabbae]

Could you make a nutrition video for people that need to gain weight and have a fast metabolism?

[@twatters8664]

Hey man so im stationed at good ole JBER and will be till 2020 thanks to my ipcot being accepted. My run is horrible and ive been working on it but it just doesnt seem to be working. Need help! By the way if you can guess what my afsc is "welcome to jber".

[@briankelly5847]

How would my work route for preparing for basic? It's about a mile

Bria yeah cry....

[@abbyleigh8626]

How much time do girls get for running a mile and a half?

[@theghettocop69]

Treadmills for me anyways put more strain on my knees. I run strictly tracks and streets never running on a treadmill again
