[@kalclashfitness]

Thank you for the very kind words 😊

Great video Steve. Long run my favourite of the week by far. Can’t wait for my easy pace 15 miler down to Hastings seafront tomorrow morning. Can feel the stress dissolving already!

Lovely! Nice run down that way too mate, shove a few quid in the arcades on your way through 😁😁😁

I have absolutely loved finding this channel. Your knowledge is plentiful. I have gotten back into running as of late, and as in the past, my IT band issues started to come about again. I've tried so many pairs of shoes, braces, stretches, strengthening exercises, all to no avail. Then I tried an ancient pair of Five Fingers I got forever ago, and had completely forgotten that I owned. They changed it for me. I then started researching running in VFFs and found your channel, and now have a pair of V-Runs on the way! Can't wait to finally hit my running goals! Thanks so much for what you do for the barefoot/minamalist running community!

Nutrition is so so important! You really do notice the difference in junk vs. nutritional foods once you start getting those miles in :)

I’m a year late to the show, but I can’t get enough of these videos! I’ve done an enlistment in the USMC, and HATED running for years. Two summers ago I discovered “barefoot” running and started implementing those principles as best I could and for the first time in my life could run pain free. Last year didn’t have much running for me, and my shoes are blown, so I’m going back to basics and aiming for my first marathon this November. I’m not the competitive sort, so it’s just for myself and just to finish, but I’ve got to do it “barefoot”/minimal. So I will.

Good advises, keep it rolling! 👍👍👍

Love you buddy 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Yep! long run is my favourite run of the week. I run in 'Coatham Marshes' a wildlife trust reserve. A little hilly for a weekly long run, but it's great training for XC.

[@kalclashfitness]

That sounds absolutely lovely! I don't have a long run route that I love at the moment - I need to get that sorted

[@iftomatosareafruitwhyisntk4038]

Loving the regular videos. Could you do a video on high volume low calories food for people counting calories wanting to lose weight?

[@kalclashfitness]

Will do. I wanted to film this today but didn't get around to it. I'll get on it soon

[@tri4arda]

Next video needs to be inside that cubby house mate, great video 👍

[@kalclashfitness]

😂 I barely fit in there 😁

'Get your beetroots, your spinach, your kale.. all of this high nutrition performance fuel into your body so that you can perform like an athlete, not perform like Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar.' Hang that quote on the fucking wall!!

Are those vibram KSO? I bought a pair for this year with the same design!

Don't listen to anyone under 65 giving you tips on running. After 60 years of running here's some advice; One: run with zero drop shoes, no heel height (but not barefoot shoes) make sure you have cushioning. Two: don't run any further than 6 miles 3 times a week. Three: don't time yourself. Four: don’t do marathons. Five: the important one don’t join a running club; the reason, you’ll end up ignoring 2, 3 and 4. If that happens you’ll end up like me and 90% of other club runners, requiring new knees because your cartilage will be gone. Another bit of advice just ignore the above and get a bike. All these people promoting long distance what age are they? They think they know but they don't.

I'd rather trust scientific meta-studies on running and it's pros/cons than individual experiences!

[@lisazack6459]

​@@FLOFLOFLO46 Tell me what ''scientific meta-studies on running'' do studies on the effects on people after a lifetime of running? None! This coffee person isn't given you tips on how to run faster or longer, it's simply on how to avoid creating unnecessary injuries that are created over a lifetime. The real question for me that has also accumulated injuries over my life is why did I train so much, I was never going to be in the Olympics but I trained as if I was. That's the kind of stupid mindset that's promoted in most of these youtube channels, basically killing yourself to live rather than training for life; training to excel in that small window which is called youth.

Shouldn’t people be free to mess themselves up if they wish? Maybe you enjoy living the rest of your days fussing over “shoulda/coulda/woulda” scenarios, but not everyone over 60 had the same results as you all.

@@Just_Call_Me_Tim ''Shouldn’t people be free to mess themselves up if they wish?'' Go smoke some marlboro cigarettes you nugget.

[@Just_Call_Me_Tim]

You F'coffee Hahah! Just about what I expected from a cranky old codger. It’s all good; we need cranky old farts to remind us all to enjoy whatever we can, while we can. (And I don’t smoke; nicotine doesn’t do anything for me, so you go ahead and puff on up for me!)

A lot of dudes got hurt when you said not to perform like ronald mcdonald.
