I'm running to improve my fitness, but also because just spending time running outside several times a week has such a positive impact on my mental health!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

This!! Ah, so relatable. I feel that it's a time and place in which I can connect with myself a bit more, mentally and physically.

[@isapemasi]

I've start running and I feel so good. Of course, is a journey with small steps until get better. I love it your tips and someday I want to run a marathon. Hello from Brazil.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Amazing!!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Another video which turned out to be way longer than I first intended to buut I didn’t feel like splitting it up or cutting out any parts. If you ask me, I could make tons more of these videos, diving into each topic/talking point because there is so much more to running than what I’ve shared in this video. Nonetheless, I do hope you got inspired to start running yourself, found my tips helpful and simply just enjoyed another couple of messy days during marathon training :) As mentioned throughout the video, I am not a professional or educated on these topics. It’s just my own experiences :)

[@is3409]

I live for long videoes!! The longer the better

[@Nekteck]

I've been eagerly waiting for this episode, and it did not disappoint! 🏃‍♂ Your tips on getting started with running are incredibly helpful. Wishing you all the best! 🥰

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Ahh that is so great to hear!! Thank you so so much 😍

[@BeatriceBogni]

you're such an inspiration, I climb and I I often go mountaineering, sooo two hard activity, but with your videos I'm getting into running and I'm loving it, thank you!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Honestly, that sounds so cool to me!! Happy you enjoy the running

[@MandyGoldenGoddessFan]

Nice to see you again Katharina also I hope your weekend went well and I hope you have a great week ahead of you too.

I am not a runner but your videos are still very interesting. Love the food and your part of the world (I'm stuck in San Diego). Another thumbs up.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thanks!! :)

[@ceciliakhoo6395]

Rlly love ur vids and updates!! Indeed learnt smtg from this vid since I started my running journey 👍🫶💕

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I'm so happy you say so!

[@neil1974uk]

Excellent tips and well done on starting the taper, most of the hard work is done. If you do get a running watch something like a Garmin or a Coros will do the job. I love my Garmin epix gen 2 but it’s probably overkill for most people. The coros pace 2 is an excellent introductory running watch, jam packed with features, that is under 200 euros. I believe that both Garmin and Coros will sync will Nike Run Club.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Ah, thank you for the recommendations! I will have a look a t both of them and see if they'll fit me. Thanks :)

[@major.krisss]

Really good video! Thanks a lot!!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Happy you think so! You're welcome :)

[@emilielouise6701]

Dear Katharina. I have been watching your videos now for quite a while, and I have enjoyed them because you show a nice balance in life and commitment to eating disorder recovery. However I just have a little comment to make about this specific video. While I think, that your running journey is absolutely amazing and very inspiring for many, I think you should have made a disclaimer in the beginning of your video. I think it is safe to say, that many of your subscribers and the people who are watching your videos found you because of your content regarding you recovery from an eating disorder. I do want to mention, that I absolutely understand if you want to 'break out' of that 'role' and express other sides of yourself. But I worry that many of the people who watch your videos will take this video in the wrong way. A short little disclaimer in the beginning of the video, where you could just say that running is not for everyone, and that it may not be the right thing for everyone, would probably help so many of your viewers and reassure them, that maybe running isn't for them yet. This comment is not meant as rude or anything like that! I still really admire you and your content, but I just think it is important to keep in mind who tends to watch your videos, and know that those people often are a bit fragile when it comes to working out. I hope you understand what I mean.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I fully understand you. Thank you for this ❤️

[@andyForte2019]

Such an entertaining yet informative video!! Just wondering what you do for a living since you’re able to travel so much? Thank you and I hope that’s not too personal! Good luck on your race

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I work full time in a restaurant :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thanks!

[@aimh6604]

I ran my first full marathon in 2020 and after that I didn't run long distances. But I started running again! I am motivated by you, thanks Katharina:) Do you do post-run stretches or any routine for tight hamstring or calves? I have sore legs and there are only a few post-run stretch videos to follow... (BTW, I am Korean, living in Germany, do you have any plans to travel to Korea whilst you are traveling to Japan?)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Awesome achievement of yours - may I ask why you didn't want to run those distances afterwards? I personally think that I'm getting so hooked on it and this marathon is for sure just the first of many! As i briefly showed in the video after my recovery run, I do stretch afterwards. I haven't always (quite a mistake) but I do feel that it makes the day after feel a bit better in terms of DOMS. I unfortunately don't have a set routine because it depends on how I feel after the run :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

And no, I will go to Japan and then Indonesia!

[@aimh6604]

@@katharinaschneiderr There are many reasons that I stopped running. I loved it, I used to run 60-70km per week. But as I achieved the goal(to finish the marathon), also I moved to different country (from Argentina to Spain) and I had to say goodbye to my running mates, which broke my weekly routine. Well I also was injured, I had a labrum tear, which I discovered that I actually had a hip dysplasie(I'm still in my 20s). I had a hip surgery, now recovered from it but the doctor recommended me not to run long distance. So I changed my sport. I am into bouldering and jiujitsu for the last 6 months, I want to add running(not too much) for my endurance as well, as I plan to hike 5000m long mountain hike this summer. Which month are you going to Japan? I am also going to travel Japan!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Oh I see! That's a lot of reasons combined - most important thing is that you do what makes you happy and something you enjoy in it's right amounts. I'm going to Japan 3 days after the marathon! So I leave on may 8th :)

[@beastie824]

Lately I have been feeling bored on my runs. Could you recommend a podcast or music playlist for me? I really want to have the motivation to run longer distances.💜 p.s. you are making great progress with your health and running journey!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Ah, I totally get this! I used to get super bored very easily. I personally prefer to listen to talkshows or true crime podcasts actually because they're super entertaining! Sometimes I get so caught up that I forget I'm actually running too :') Thank you! I appreciate it

[@kevincastro6232]

Garmin Forerunner 945 is the best running watch for what you need

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’ll look it up! Thank you:)

[@roozuul94]

Hi I love your video! Is there a matcha brand that you can recommend? 💚

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I’m glad!! I don’t have a specific brand but I just make sure to get a high grade, preferably Uji matcha ! Try look for it xx

[@kl4ud1a]

Hi! Thank you for this video, it’s very inspiring! Could you (or someone) link the running app? Thank you!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

You're welcome! The app is called Nike Run Club (NRC). You should be able to find it!

[@hina6221]

I've recently started running having been inspired by your videos - it's challenging but so rewarding. I love spending time outside to begin the day with a clear mind 🤍

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Ah, I'm so happy you say this! To me, it's what makes the run so enjoyable as well

Ran my first marathon two years ago and it was the biggest accomplishment of my life! Trained for my second last year and the week of the race I ended up with a lung infection and had to sit out on the race🥴 I going to give myself a break this year and focus on short leisure runs, but it’s so addictive!

[@MiaBoumova]

love ur vids🤍

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I'm happy you do!

I am into running lataly but for the moment I struggle with an injury. Have you ever had one? Ps the vest is very beautifull!.

I've been there! I suggest you watch my first video in my marathon training series. I explain what happened and how I recovered from it to be able to run again, right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKu1nZh6e6ibe6s

Hello, am i right? Is it night run club app? Can’t find it on app store ☹️

[@katharinaschneiderr]

NIKE run club :)

[@user-jb5en1sm1q]

How often do you have to change your running shoes?

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Depends on the shoes and how much you run in them!

[@spelabrez]

Heyyy, I was wondering which (if any) marathon training plan are you following?

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I've mentioned it a couple of times that I do follow this official 'Advanced' plan given out by the event 'Copenhagen Marathon' You'll find it here copenhagenmarathon.dk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/CPH-Marathon-training-plan-advanced-2024.pdf

[@spelabrez]

Thank you for your answer 😊

[@katharinaschneiderr]

[@beatrizkj]

I want to start running but it is so hard to start 😩😩 anyone else??

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Get the shoes, head outside and then put one foot in front of another :)

[@Anwrimos23]

Ιf I had you as a trainer, I promise I would run everyday and I would eat healthy ;)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

As long as you do what makes you happy and feel the best!

[@willyengland]

Ha, ha, getting rid of the Bostons after half a year? My actual Bostons have 2300 km done already, still working ... Well, women and shoes ... 🙂 To complement that: No man would run without a watch. We are number fetishists. 😊 For you it's probably a good thing to not use a watch. It can create pressure. My running advice: Consistency is key.

[@Telonia]

I also have Bostons and love running with them. But I’m scared they get used up too fast 🙃

[@tilda3141]

Running in shoes after the foam starts breaking down will actually increase injury risk. How do you know that all men run with watches? I doubt that. Such an odd comment to make it all about men vs. women.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I'm afraid you didn't quite get what I was saying. As @tilda3141 mentioned, it's not about the amount of shoes you have but the amount of miles you spend running in them. You can have one pair of shoes for years because you barely ever use them but another one for a couple of months because you use them every, single day. Should be self explanatory ! :)

[@willyengland]

@@Telonia The Bostons are made for endurance training and long term usage. They should last for at least 1000 - 1500 miles. Probably longer ... But I also understand the joy of buying new shoes. 🙂

[@Asrr2008]

@@katharinaschneiderrGreat video to introduce running basics ! My Boston 10’s lasted 900km before I started getting blisters, so yeah they’re quite durable and amazing shoes. Can’t wait to test the 12’s ! Keep up the good content
