How to run light on your feet!

[@vivalasvegas702]

Running is getting more COMPLICATED, the more I watch these videos.

[@marianna8642]

lmaooooo same😂

[@lilchurro3]

Reminds me of a quote Bruce Lee once said, about how the more he learned, the more a punch was not just a punch and a kick was not just a kick. lol

[@CitsVariants]

No. Think of physics

[@berightbyack89]

I’m definitely doing something wrong… Instead of floating above the ground and pushing down, I’m pushing up, fighting the gravity. F it, I quit running!

[@barryhoffmann7603]

​@@berightbyack89Just dont quit cardio. Do Ride the bike, Go swimming, JUMP the Rope or Trampolin. Do light exercisw for half a hours. U dont hat to run. I'll myself get Problems Sometimes running. Even if u run normal cuz of life or habbits ppl run Sometimes wrong or got hip knee or other Problems. Normaly even if Not far after few weejs therw should be more Problems and in the beginning only breath or muscle If u Like to run try Like the Vid says to Not run to much middle foot or Back foot. Try to make Heel your First contact role to Forward foot. Try to Focus on Forward foot running and steady breath trough the nose. After some time IT comes by itself

[@sam_patrik]

Dont feel dumb if you cant do this tomorrow, it comes with consistency and great fitness level

[@bigchainring1977]

I disagree you don't have to have a "great" fitness level just a lot of practice and persistence

[@webwolfdroid]

I found it hit my lungs way more increasing my cadence, shortening my stride and trying to run like this... After a few attempts I managed a 5k on the trail with 100% in range cadence and still hit my average time. Hip flexors felt a bit tight. So I'm gonna say it does need time and practice based on my experience.

[@mojoman2001]

Nope. You can't push down without first pulling up. And when your first foot hits the ground and sends shockwaves up your spine, you know why walking is better.

[@Growmetheus]

@@bigchainring1977thats what level means. My joints are ass, my exercise level is not yours even with practice, theyre literally different from yours

[@skybiz4520]

@@bigchainring1977 She is 1) young 2) light weight 3) have a horse muscles on the legs. Of course for all of the above reasons, you can be "light runner".. Try this without Schwarzenegger muscles and 30 years later and let us know.

[@MaecyAguilar]

Hi Chari! I wanted to say thank you. I am currently obese and losing weight through walking and running. All your videos helped me through my journey. I was 95kg, now down to 88kg. Thank you for being a part of my journey ❤

[@SpringerOwl]

Congrats! It’s such a great feeling to see that progress! I’ve had a life of ups and downs but I’m kind of in a good spot now and it’s really, really doable! As i Said, congrats. Oh, I’m not this pretty girl so sorry for the let down 😂

[@meanmr.mustard3511]

Awesome job man!

[@rmobnation9395]

You don't need to run to lose weight. It's really bad for your knees, and joints. Walking and lifting is much better.

[@tanaminogarashi]

@@rmobnation9395 diet might be the most important factor. i'd personally recommend low carb and cutting out processed foods and refined grains (except for the occasional treat). i'd also recommend intermittent fasting instead of breakfast-lunch-dinner. most sports will require running of some kind, i think as long as you stretch and do mobility exercises, and don't do too much at a time, it should be fine

[@calixtocalicot9290]

Walking & running plus calorie deficit helped me cut down my weight. In 2 months my weight went down from 140lbs to 120lbs. Now I run 6 days a week and I eat what I want to without gaining weight.

[@cjoneal45]

Coach of the year! 🙌

[@gregsafford]

Thanks for the easy to follow and awesome running form tips. Also, "Effortful" is my new favorite word 🙂

[@maiqueashworth]

Thank you so much for these videos. You're the best!

[@ReadingsbyDom]

Thank you, Coach. Ever consider pulling all of your content into a book… Another idea… Perhaps tying together how running, exertion, & subsequent dopamine release benefit both mind and body… while I’m providing such quality unsolicited advice (smile*)… France… Let everyone else stress about others. Focus on you. You’ve worked hard. Enjoy the moment, relax, trust, and you’ll do great!

[@Shainmeng]

Run my first 21KM last year, following instructions from this channel. I signed up for 2 more 21KM this year. This channel helps me a lot

[@jacquelinejuana34]

Thanks Coach I’ll be teaching my kids this ❤ I learned from you every video for my own career and helping Coach Kids

[@daviddarby6263]

Ugh! Where were you in the 80's and 90's when I was in the Army and really needed these great tips?

[@pumpkin4444]

I worked that out all by myself!!

I never tire of watching you move so effortlessly Chari...really beautiful!

[@benjamin.kelley]

There's nothing like when on a good run you feel your feet bounce off the street in a nice powerful rhythm.

[@Vikocjdane]

Great work chari!!

[@lawrencelam6719]

Great information.

IM LITERALLY YOUR BIGGEST FAN 💖 CANT WAIT FOR 2024 OLYMPICS!!

[@warriorweld]

I ran 3k 2days ago using this method. Just finished the run now. Thanks for the tip👍

[@bikalamw_loved]

Very useful tip. Am grateful

[@ErikPehrsson]

I’m planning on going for a run in a bit and I’m gonna implement some of your techniques 👍👍👍 Thank you and God bless you!

[@PTSuperSte]

Excellent tip that top, best ever tip

[@SinaAla]

I’ve done both and have noticed the difference! I think when you push down your body naturally leans a little forward, helping you to go faster

[@ashvinn15]

Thanks will try

[@Matt-cp9wh]

focusing on pushing down and with more force makes you so much faster. its a game changee

[@VRietySociety]

actually... there is a little more nuance to this, when you run faster you feel more and more force being applied into the ground buts its actually come primarily from how fast your legs are moving, how quickly your muscles can generate force and knee drive....yep knee drive. it's quite ironically reduces your force output slightly and speed a little when reducing knee drive but I would argue makes you more efficient for longer runs. check out Fredrik Zillén - Running Technique Specialist. He has a video debunking exactly that. It was done with 3d cam setups an sensors and explains why that is the case in detail. Knee drive is more important to create force but it will increase the impact on your joints so knee drive is great for sprinters but not for long distance runners in my opinion

[@minimooster7258]

I'm recovering from a knee injury, your tips have been so helpful in improving my form running

[@maiqueashworth]

Love your channel. Thank you

[@Claymore357]

Sometimes in my dreams, I feel like if I run fast enough and jump… that I would fly!!! I’m 30 years old and still wish this was true 😊

[@candiceverpaelst-ud3kk]

Great technique tips!

[@bambisblume]

Thank you, Coach! 👌

[@jamesmitchell5859]

Crazy good tips. Seeing huge improvement s.

[@Kier-15]

[@Indy2AZ]

Over 300k subs and rising! Because of content like this. Thank you for helping the sport, and helping others love the sport. You should hold winter camps. I'd send kids to you. Heck, I share so many of your videos to them you are basically an assistant coach lol.

[@IBSaurabh]

Thanks 🙏

[@darkcurlz]

Exactly the tip I needed. Excited to try it!

[@bigpoppav]

Definitely a tip that I needed to hear.

[@JayAbrahamJ]

I Love your videos and learning a lot from you great job. I watched the video several times, but In this video, I can't tell the difference between heavy runner and light runner What are push up and push down? I am confused please explain everything in slow motion.

[@JG-vj7lm]

Good advice

Thank you, Chari...

[@kidcaster8051]

loved this video ❤

[@Mattheus217]

That’s a good tip, although I tried running by just lifting my knees high and it feels weird. Perhaps for running in place or jump rope one could do this? It feels more natural to just push off the ground with each foot, like you are showing. Like if you were to hop on one leg, you would focus on pushing up rather than pulling up. Each leg pushes you forward, like if you were to hopscotch. Maybe that’s the way I’ve always been doing it because it felt right. But in any event, I probably should do some more running overall. Thank you for your video. This same principle could work for push-ups; think of pushing yourself away from the floor rather than just lifting your body. Same with an overhead kettlebell press, push yourself away from the bell rather than just lifting it. For pull ups, focus on pulling your elbows down with your lats, and it will propel your body over the bar versus just trying to lift your body over the bar. I’m sure this is some sort of biomechanical principle, or “for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction ?”

[@Lex-nx7kd]

Thank you!

Push down is good, but, you have to increase your speed and strides too!!! There can be many coach’s, but, being a sprinter myself, I know everything!!!! Wish I was born in the present time!!! But now, I could train anyone!

I’m training for a 5k. Love your channel. Great tips!!! Thank you. 🙏🏻

Hey Chari, wud u plz teach our rugby team how 2 run lighter n faster n short distances plz, keep n mind we are all 240lbs n higher in weight on our roster, plz🤙🏻🇮🇹

[@wl4446]

Don’t forget to engage your core. A strong core is essential for this to work.

[@homeworxchannel4120]

There ain't nothing light about my 250lb ass trying this haha. Love the instruction!

[@kjlkathandjohn6061]

When I push down I call it jumping, at a forward trajectory, and I fly with my momentum over a longer stride. I want to be airborne most of the time.

[@carochan86]

I feel like my strokes are heavier when I do too

[@boulexia]

I wish schools can teach kids the way you do. I hated those running activities in PE classes and teachers never really taught students what was wrong with their postures. I get it, they're only teaching us the basics then they move on.

[@SG-pc4sv]

You and David Goggins would be great on a podcast together. You two could share some great insights

[@audreyjohnston1114]

Can you give any tips on what you eat as a runner. Do you always eat and hydrate before training?

Nice move..🙏

Hmm I always pull up on the last 100 of a 400 meter. My push muscles are tired but my stride when excessively pulling up is a thing of beauty.

I started my running journey last month and it's been so amazing. And watching your videos helped me realise what u need to change in my running form (? Is that what you call it). Bcs I had shin splint and back pain when I first started running 😭
