[@gtn]

Do you make any of these mistakes? 🏃‍♂️

[@YeNZeC]

I don't video edit, so no... wait.. you meant the topic of todays video ? Haha. Love it really. Good info.

[@chilleundso]

Hahahah I was going to make that exact joke but you got there first!

[@ered_lithui]

Not any, but all of them. From time to time.

[@michelamallia5637]

I struggled hard with pacing until I started paying attention to my watch 😅 it has made a world of difference.

[@Jean980]

1. Reasonable pace 2. Be careful of new terrain 3. Eating/drinking - wait at least 3 hours before heavy meal, 1 hour before of snacking, watch nutrition, wary of caffeine, dairy, and maybe gluten. 4. Running shoes - stick with comfortable pair, but necessarily newest

[@SeppeSnoeck]

Thank you for the déjà vu, Mark!

[@KatzuramaHD]

OMG! I was thinking the same thing😂

[@thomasmcardle4371]

I made the mother of all running mistakes, my first marathon I ran in shoes I got the day before at the expo. That was a painful mistake!!!

[@gtn]

😬

[@kushajveersingh9973]

That sounds very painful. I once did this for my regular run and my legs were destroyed.

[@alisonwoodrow6424]

I took my friends for a walk around London the day before my first London marathon...

[@Bowserguy62]

Rest in piece legs i know that feeling all too well

[@chole18]

Knowing when to slow down and/or cut a run short by a mile or two is so important!

[@DanielUnterrainer]

Great points!. Definitely guilty of running too fast on easy runs. It happens to me many times that I head out on an easy run and fall into a half marathon pace. I find it sometimes a struggle to run slow.

[@ianboyes4414]

All you need is a pair of trainers. That’s mistake number one. Going out for a run in just a pair of trainers will probably get you arrested 😂

[@silvercloudslearning4136]

Comprehensive narrative explaining some simple mistakes (and how to avoid them) - thank you

[@dieddf]

There has been a time where GCN was as cool as you guys. Smart advices rather than marketing us out. Congrats, keep it like this !

[@Symbioticism]

My problem with running with a club is the competitive part of my brain and switching it off...

[@caroline2469]

Just the smell of coffee makes me poop, so it's a great tool to use before my runs lol

[@thedanalcantara]

Pacing is always my biggest downfall. Especially as it seems like the roads where I normally run are getting more and more hilly each day!

[@soulawaken24]

Nice! Just came back from an easy recovery run. I learnt point number 3 the hard way yesterday. Had an slightly too heavy meal too late before running session. Felt like crap for most of the way. 😞

[@today-nl]

Run too much too fast too soon? That was not a problem for me, until I start using Strava this year. Great video!

[@pauroldan9296]

My problem is I think I run slow, I'm nowhere near an intermediate runner, and according to my NRC, my average pace for 2K run (it's what I can do now) is 6'35", I'm not sure if it's right or wrong and my mind starts to wander and convince me to stop running. I've started watching GTN since the beginning of the year, and I appreciate all of your tips, and every day I am inspired by you, guys. Hopefully, you can do a video about what's a proper mindset or what do you think about when running or racing and how do you condition your mind? Thank you so much!! Much love and support from the Philippines xx

[@MR-wh5wp]

I'm with you there 👍👍

[@BiggSlimm]

I recognise that canal, looks like Avoncliff/Turleigh area. Literally just down the road from me, lovely area to run on a sunny day. Loving the videos and keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@wflux1652]

On my way for a run a just stumbled on the vid, wil have to go 8min later now just to be sure😄.

[@tommylobotommy]

Caffeine has also diuretic effect, so besides forcing the number two, it will make you pee about an hour after you drink it. It’s better to skip it before the run.

[@sheevys]

Deja vu, i think I need more coffee

[@alisontriathlonlover]

Always interesting , thanks 😊

[@OperaLars]

Thanks and those images of Heather eased my day 😅😂

[@maeypremsh9142]

Thanks a lot for this video. I'm guilty on the first one. That's why i always injured myself 😐

[@graemesadd6971]

Good advice Mark, it's a pity you didn't emphasis some of these points to Dan! Personally, I think he made some of those mistakes and that's when he got injured. My biggest mistake is running my easy runs too fast.

[@davidkho744]

perfect! having a medium long run tomorrow.

[@janknoblich4129]

Nice editing :D

[@smefour]

Running with barefoot shoes helps in uneven terrain, if your the adventurous type these shoes really help with stability, but it can be tiring to get use to as your feet can get a work out, not for everyone

[@nickw6175]

dont start your watch recording device for the first 5-10 mins the best way to make sure you dont blast off to fast and get a decent warm up. and never ever try to keep up with a fit 7 year old welsh collie

[@MR-wh5wp]

Good idea!!! 👏👏👏

[@MrBraindead101]

The magpies? I think that covers the majority of triathletes...

[@tonyuk928]

I am a man in his early 60's doing sub 20:30 5k's, sub 1:35 half's and a 3:37 marathon. I run with my wife of 40 plus years at least 3 times a week at her pace of around 7 mins per K pace and have used these runs as a good proportion of my easy runs in a week. Do you or any others think that these are having a negative effect on my progress as a runner as my wife and I love the fact that we can go out running together even at our advanced age.

[@johannespersson3359]

I actually become lactose intolerant while training for my first IM in 2011. In 2013 I trained much less and i could once again eat and drink dairy products.

[@vhariharan1988]

I am running 8 KM per hour and I wanted to increase that to 10KM per hour .. unfortunately these days I am using a treadmill because due to COVID we can't go out and run.. But is there any were using a treadmill can I build Endurance so that when I step out after Lockdown I can start setting up Goal for 10 KM/hr , or even 5 K sub 20 Any Help much appreciated Thanks Venkat

[@arielduclos8178]

Really interesting video!

[@nelb.4976]

what model of On Cloud shoes is the presenter using? Looking for running shoes aside from my normal ultra boost

[@alisonwoodrow6424]

Join a running club there are groups for all abilities & most if not all are EA registered.

[@barryalexander2909]

I do my long run with 15 y.o. son. His conversational pace is a lot quicker than mine! Ouch.

[@Gormador]

Not a doctor; get actual medical advice from your doctor. Regarding running shoes, be sure to go with *neutral* ones. If you need a pronation or supination correction, best to get it from bespoke *running* orthopedic soles. Running with an bad correction can cause injuries that are not fun, like a crippling TFL inflammation on your knee. I suffered from one of those and what worked for me (again, not a doctor, this isn't a one size fit-all situation) was a good physio and running regularly with neutral shoes (no correcting soles anymore!), building duration and distance *very* gradually. I have been running three times a week since June (with very few mishaps), beginning with slow 20 minutes (10x2 even) and achieving hour long runs after a few weeks. If you told me a year ago that I now would be running 42km per week since March with a semi-marathon every Sunday, I simply wouldn't have believed you. This isn't a brag (well, not "just" a brag), but a testimony directed at people who, like myself a short year ago, are discouraged by an seemingly unending injury. Consult a doctor, get multiple opinions if you're uncertain! There, off my chest :)

[@Kelly_Ben]

Sooo... don't take well researched advice from a respected training outlet because they're not a doctor, but DO take advice from a comment from an anonymous commenter on said channel?? The irony.

[@Gormador]

@@Kelly_Ben haha the actual advice is "ask your doctor", I thought that was quite clear ;-)

[@Kelly_Ben]

@@Gormador I just reread your comment and realized you were probably referring to yourself as opposed to GTN. Time for more coffee! 😉

[@Gormador]

@@Kelly_Ben oh yes, absolutely, this was just a point supporting Mark's on shoes. And the personal history was just something I would have loved to read that a year and a half ago when I was contemplating whether or not running was ever going to be in the cards for me again. TFL is quite a common injury, so I wrote that. Anyway, enjoy your second coffee :-)

[@ForteanEnquirer]

Skin integrity is a priority, chafe free socks and underwear are as important as good shoes if you are going to stay motivated - in particular a running bra if you’re a person who needs to wear one

[@mathieupaquet2133]

Too slow? Isn't that the perfect time to focus on your movement's quality and building endurance?

[@jasppponii2030]

Hi GTN, although i know you are a triathlon community, I'm here mainly for the running advice. During lockdown I ran 4 times per week, but since some of the restrictions are gone I've picked up my main sport again: tennis. I really want to keep running, but I'm strugling with how to combine the two. Currently I play tennis 2/3 times per week, and I want to run at least 2 times. Should these runs be more like tempo-style workouts or is it better to only do some easy running and incorporate speedwork in the tennis sessions? Any thoughts on this would be great!

[@MR-wh5wp]

My biggest mistake is not knowing how to relax

[@peterwild57]

Breakfast run or run breakfast ?

[@MauriceG85]

Banana run breakfast

[@katyward1895]

I love those blue leggings, where are they from?

[@heatherfell_oly]

Sweaty betty, my favs!

[@LiRoeby]

🏃‍♂️

[@markankone9362]

🥳

[@sbyrstall]

I thought everyone jack-rabbitted all runs. Hmmm...guess it's just me.
