Perfect Running Technique | Triathlon Training Explained

[@DaanHoogland]

quiet running, light and upright ✊, springy, great advice here.

[@Pienimusta]

Appreciate these tips to make my running easier and safer for my body, on the other hand I feel bad how wrong I have ran before.

[@Liam1694u]

Unlike most videos that show good posture and only talk about the bad, I like how you demonstrate the bad with the good.

[@vishal7181]

Thanks One of the best video seen for improving running form

[@Sunnykhutan]

Thank u brother. Nice one. That video was clear and easy to follow. 🙂

[@sarahrose52]

Thanks for this. I am about to start couch to 5k in preparation for moving into tri training. I’ve never been a good runner and this video explains why in so many ways. x

[@gtn]

Glad to help - good luck with your 5k! 🙂

[@lisapet160]

It's very interesting and worth re-watching. There is at least one complain in the comments section on why no foot landing discussed? But I can't imagine how it would be possible to land feet incorrectly whilst following all the advises in this video?

[@lisapet160]

@Fraser Cartmell Agreed. Yes, please go for duology.

[@pineapplehazeclub]

great, thank you so much

[@deeh5048]

Interesting and helpful. Thank you!

[@runtherisk338]

Great foot strike! I’m jealous as I struggle with supination. Great circular stride!

[@TheFedericohiguain2]

I got this advices from a track and field coach and what it said in this video is completely true. This help me run more efficiently, I used to run with too much tension in my shoulders and head down

[@BAEJITA99]

Thank you so much.

[@larsproductions8071]

Really good video🎉You run with gravitity not with power💪

[@larsproductions8071]

Sorry one thing i have to say. When you ask kenyans how they run. They will say: "I relax". That means that you don't have to flex your legs or ankles. Your feet are just relaxed and loose. It's feels like their wiggling around when their not on contact with the ground😁

[@runningchallenge8323]

Good information. Be careful injury bros!

[@robbybubble240]

Great vid! Nice glasses btw

[@kishorekumar5466]

Thanks

[@JamesWhite1]

Great video as always. I've just started training again and find im constantly hungry, do you guys have some tips and ideas on what snacks you eat to keep you going till your next meal?

[@willpreeview]

Agreed. I'm finding myself reaching for either fruits, nuts or a variety of oat type snacks and getting bored of them all very quickly and going in for unhealthy but more tastier choices instead!

[@JamesWhite1]

@@willpreeview very much on with the unhealthy choices, my office is filled with biscuit's and chocolate....

[@heatherfell_oly]

James, try and prepare a small snack type meal for mid morning. Load up on slow release carbs and make sure you're eating plenty of protein.

[@rachaelpellegrini993]

I am watching these videos because my dad has been making me run ever since this quarantine happened

[@toddbuckone]

Your arm swing should come from your elbows, not your hands. Drive the elbows backward instead of trying to reach forward with your hands. You should have very little flexion/extension in your elbows, though (i.e., the angle of your elbow should remain relatively consistent throughout the arm swing), and your hands shouldn't break your waistband. Keep them high and tight. Fraser's elbows tend to flex/extend quite a bit compared to Mark's which you can tell while they're running. Probably one of the reasons Mark is a faster runner than Fraser ;P

[@haiz1985]

i've been watching several run technic video, but still unable to copy any technic from it.... really hard

[@dquin12]

2:47 the only people running like that are the ones at 4am after 40 beers....

[@rockway32]

The problem with most people hip isn't the alignment , it's that most sit back like they are in a chair

[@aquanuggets]

Got any advice or drills to keep shoulders square and limit swaying?

[@lexdumas8486]

Jog in place then monitor your shoulders

[@skyethewylder]

I have been trying Chi Running and it is just not working for me. Now I know why. My trainer in the gym is always telling me "head neutral, shoulders down and relaxed" and I have been working on that when running. Great ideas. Oh, and as for head looking forward? That is great, but where I run I have to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes on the trail so head down is a bit of a safety measure at times. Lol

[@justin-eu7nh]

Something I noticed that after the bike ride I was'nt running how I used to be. I found out that I was Running in a seated postion ,basicaly sloppy. I had to put my mind into making sure to stand straight from the ankles and as your tipps say straighten out and fall slighty into the run. Good tipps

[@gtn]

Glad to help 👍

[@stephenmd7034]

Hard to train posture without using a posture shirt like IFGfit. I was running 10 Miles without fatigue.

[@phxrsx]

I find that I run with an anterior pelvic tilt. Whats the best way to fix this?

[@albertorincon2549]

I recently did a triathlon and even though i was in good condition the temperature was 37 degress celcius which by the time of the running, I couldn't even breath. The water was boiling hot and I found myself walking a big part of the route. Was i bad prepared for that or what should i do. The air was hot and dried.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Alberto, that is incredibly hot for racing. Trying to do heat acclimatisation in the two weeks building up to your race will help. Make sure you have plenty of fluid and electrolytes to keep your hydration levels up.

[@albertorincon2549]

@@heatherfell_oly Hi Heather. I am looking forward to race again because I want to prove myself I can do it better than many that day.

[@dooft555]

Great simple effective advice

[@BaertJan]

Great advice. Went out for a long run and instantly tried to apply some changes! Thanks Fraser!

[@JohnnyCallender]

great vid, haha the racecourse though

[@SpacLingwood]

Hey guys. Quick question.. I'm training for as close to a 16min 5k as possible. At the moment I do 4 days.. A long run, hills&sprints(with conditioning&strength), intervals or tempo, and easy run with strides. But I feel like I should be doing 2 threshold or tempo runs a week. Is that advisable?

[@sivaprakashsaripalli4887]

What about foot strike?

[@le0fonzagoric164]

I wanted to hear about leg turnover, I can't seem to get my heel to go high towards my butt when I run....I know I need to paw the ground, but when I try to make my heel go up, I end up running very fast

[@oswrdfsh]

Hi - great video and tips, one question, where are these clips filmed? Is it Scotland? Cheers...

[@gtn]

Hi, this was filmed in Bath near to where we are based 🙂

[@moonliteX]

have you seen kipchoge run?

[@jamestaylor4427]

What shoes are you all wearing?? No big chunky heel I like it

[@ishanr8697]

I feel like the lady in the video has slightly better running form than the men.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Ishan, thanks, I won't tell the boys!

[@JohnnyCallender]

defo

[@robcrawford4944]

Is that worth pointing out? Lol.

[@JetskiDex]

Pro tip: Relax your Psoas muscle, and relax the entirity of the spine, also let go of the tension in the belly / abs. Relaxation is key to running.

[@DavidBentleyMiller]

jetski Dex I’m curious where you learned the core isn’t critical to running? Relax muscles that aren’t needed, sure, there are some upper body muscles not needed, but abs/core muscles...really, relax them?

[@barthompson]

I’m shocked toe/mid-foot/heel striking hasn’t been discussed here...!?!?!? Surely an obvious if not the most important topic to debate...?

[@1989srjones]

I know it's strange but focusing on what the top of your body is doing can really help improve all the parts of running form to do with your lower body: foot strike, cadence, contact time with the ground...

[@phxrsx]

Patrick Lange heel strikes. It's not a big deal.

[@barthompson]

@@phxrsx Actually Fraser's right - its actually much more about where your foot strikes in relation to your CoG rather than whether its toe/heel (i was referencing the whole topic in my original post). Either way, Fraser - I really appreciate you responding directly. I would be very interested to see that video you suggest and hear your experiences/views! Also...even more importantly...tips and tricks for how we can assess our own form!

[@nonhlemasikane3261]

Hi. on the hill how do you manage to finish without stopping?

[@RopeflowArnold]

I would recommend to just lower the pace until you are able to keep on running the hill without stopping. With time you will get used to run hills and you will be able to run faster.

[@shuebsheikh4656]

The lady in that video actually runs like Jimmy Anderson of England.

[@jonathancorpuz]

hello will you recommend to use nose clip and ear plugs for beginner swimmers? and can you make a video how to choose to buy right treadmill thank you more power! 👍

[@timshields6572]

So further to the lady has better form, the main speaker/runner has two issues. First, the stride length is too long, causing heel strike- bad news for knees/back long term. Second, too much arm movement. While not crossing center, its too much side to side. Both of these issues create inefficiency and will cause injury.

[@thereisnofinishline5773]

Don't forget to scream ''WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE BOATS'' when exhaling.

[@eddolous]

Just wanna point out how great that beard is

[@DaanHoogland]

is Fraser growing a beard? didn't notice.

[@myspacetimesaucegoog5632]

The lady and others in this video have front foot landing far in front of their body line. Isn't this poor form/ over striding?

[@goldelockperos642]

I like your videos plus your girl perfect too... Keep up
