We all have a tendency to think that everyone is watching and judging what we're doing, but I think it's safe to say that no one is really paying much attention to you when you run by! Are you judging the runner next to you? Do you even remember that runner a few minutes later? Probably not! Focus on yourself and enjoying the run, whether it's a struggle or you're in that wonderful endorphin-flow :) you've got this!

When I see bigger people running or working out in the gym, I have NOTHING BUT respect for them.

So, keep on grinding... results will follow, and your heart will thank you.

I started running over a 100lbs. ago, and it was one of the most difficult things I've done physically. I started with a goal of 1 mile, and I would run for 1 minute and walk for 2 minutes. Even if I hadn't caught my breath at the end of those 2 minutes I would force myself to run for that next minute - nonstop. I would work on that for a week. The next week I would bump that run up 15 seconds longer, until eventually I was running and walking for 2 minutes at a time. I began lowering my walking time, and upping my running time until finally I ran a continual 1 mile. Then I started adding distance, just the other day I ran a sub 2 hour half marathon...the patience and consistency paid off. Your channel was instrumental in getting my form correct, and keeping me injury free. Thank you for the wonderful coaching, I love you guys!

@cgavin14 жыл бұрын
I think the main thing to remember is that it can take a long time to build up your muscle/tendons to the point where you can run more than once or twice per week for 2-3 miles. I was only 17lb overweight but after a year of more or less complete sedentary lifestyle, it was 2 months before I could even manage a sustained run of 3 miles. The problem was not cardiovaslcular - it was the incredible pain and stress put on my joints and my tendons. I needed 5-6 days to recover between runs. I had pain just walking for days after. Its not something you can just do in 3-4 weeks. Overdoing is worse than underdoing it too. Take your time. Set achievable daily/weekly targets. If you have pain, don't train. Cycle or swim instead!

Have you tried run/walk intervals? I have the same problem if I try to just run, I am slower than a lot of walkers. But if you do walk/run intervals, your overall pace will probably increase. I am pretty sure TRE has some videos about this, but it's not complicated. I do 1:00 run and 1:00 walk, but you can change those intervals up. You want to be pushing yourself a bit on the run, but you want to have time to recover on the walk. So you just find what works for you. Give it a try. Warmup with walking first.

Really great video, keeping it achievable, love it. I started with a walking programme last August after I was told I had developed liver problems from eating too much sugar. I was 20lb heavier than I am now, and couldn’t face running. I just walked 10,000 steps a day, some days on the treadmill watching Netflix (!) but that meant I could keep it up even when I really didn’t fancy getting sweaty. I also quit eating sugar and started a tiny daily yoga practice, just ten mins, but it stretched me out in the morning. After five months I had lost that weight, and my body wanted to run, so I am now doing a couch to 5k, taking it really slowly. In the past I have gone really hard for three weeks then burnt out / got injured / fell off the wagon. This is the longest I have ever stuck with a programme, and it has also been the gentlest - and most consistent - and I have got the best results. Slow and steady!

Hey Coach Holly, thank you so much. I'm a powerlifter switching to running. I'm tired of injuries and going to the doctor's (torn pec, shoulder, knee and back injuries). I truly want to be healthier. I'm 6 feet 329 pounds and right now I run two miles in just over 24 minutes. I'm going to follow the running of this video and get back to you in a month to show my improvement. Once again thank you for the video I truly appreciate it. Also I'm seeking a job that measure the 1.5 mile run. Thank You.

I'm also switching from many years of weight lifting/bodybuilding and almost no cardio back to running as my shoulders, hips, and knees are shot from heavy lifting and my weight skyrocketed to 250lbs. I miss being 190lbs 12+ years ago and effortlessly running 3 miles in 27 minutes for pleasure. I can barely manage a mile in 11:30 mins now and can barely make it 1.5 miles. It's only been a month of 1-mile runs so far but my breathing while sleeping is much better and I can walk up a flight of steps without gasping.

Starting out slowly and carefully with training can definitely be hard when you're feeling really excited and motivated to get into it! Make foam rolling and mobility work a consistent part of your training routine, and you'll have the benefit of doing something really good for your body and also feeling productive without overdoing the mileage :)

I have gotten two major things from this video that I haven't gotten from any other workout advice. And its SO personalized I think it makes the whole thing feel so much more accomplishable. 1. Listen to your body and do something to the point where it's uncomfortable and puts you to the edge of wanting to quite but not quite yet. - I highlight this because I've always been told you have to push past the discomfort and in the beginning it just becomes this huge wall for me because its painful its uncomfortable and it doesn't adjust for my bodies needs and limitations like prexisting injuries 2- having small measurable goals. There's always this vague goal of exercising for a certain amount each week. But what juat seems so much more doable for me is the individual daily goal, starting with 10 minutes of elevated heart rate exercises. Honestly no where have I seen it broken down into such small digestable pieces before and I feel like it recognizes just how DIFFICULT the beginning stages of a routine is and figuring it out blind or having a program that isn't customized to your beginner needs with your individual body. Thank you.

I am trying to get back to running after 2 years. Used to do regular 10-15 k @ 5-5.5 min/k, at ease once. But, seems my body has lost the strength due to prolonged inactive lifestyle. I started slowly training myself 3 weeks back, using mixture of walk and run. This video has helped me with some vital information, to add upon that. Adding more strength training sessions between my runs now. I am able to reduce my walk and increase the run times, and hope to get back to previous form soon. Appreciate the energy of Coach Holly. My best wishes 🙏!

I’ve been quite overweight for a while however I had been active with sports and such. Two years ago I had an injury when playing football. I broke my leg and dislocated my kneecap and have still dislocated my kneecap every two months or so. Since then I have been afraid to start running. I have exercised on and off mostly doing box and some weights avoiding things such as squats and leg press. I now want to start running so I can hopefully get rid of some weight. I looked up videos about running hoping it would make me want to go run. This was the first video I watched on running and I definitely feel like running again. I have to say thanks for the video since it’s sometimes hard to motivate me to start working out.

I’m coming out on the other side of this after doing it for a few years. I’ve got to the point where I am running 3.25 miles a day, m-f. The advice in this video is really great advice. I wanted to add just a few key points that helped me, and I only want to add on to the advice in this video, I’m not saying to do something different. Measuring something almost automatically brings improvement. I experimented with running outside and while I really enjoyed it, I found that using the treadmill was a much better way of monitoring and measuring my workouts. These days I use an Apple Watch which gives me a lot better measuring and tracking and also gives me the same monitoring and tracking outside. When I started I was really overweight, and being overweight puts a lot of stress on your joints. Being 40 years old also put me at a disadvantage because my body couldn’t recover like when I was younger. The whole key was to find a balance between giving myself constant progress, while not overburdening my joints. My feet would go through the occasional periods of arthritis. If I tried to push through the pain it would just get worse. Instead of pushing through the pain, I would switch to cycling or rowing and that helped a lot. Eventually my feet would feel better and I’d get back on the treadmill. Progressive improvement is very important but the most important thing is adhering to your schedule without skipping. Some days it’s very very hard. Extremely hard. You’ll have those days where you just aren’t feeling it, and you’ll think it’s okay to take a day off. This is a mental trap. Don’t do it. One thing I’ve discovered over these 2 years, is that those feelings are not any indicator of how you will be able to do your workout. Especially if you’re measuring your heart rate and pace, you’ll realize that some days when you think you’re just not feeling it, those are the days when you will have the best workouts. Sometimes not, but the point is that there’s really no connection. It’s a mental thing, not a physical thing. The way I get through those days is just say to myself: okay, I’m not going to do my best, I’m just going to go to the gym. That’s all I’m committing to. Then when I’m at the gym, sitting in my car in the parking lot, I’m like: okay, I’m just going to walk inside. I’m already here, I might as well go inside and just walk on the treadmill. Once you start walking on the treadmill you start thinking: well this isn’t so bad, I guess I can pick up the pace a little. Before you know it, you’re completely finished with your workout. I’ve been tricking myself into a working out that way a lot, and I still do it from time to time. It’s pretty interesting how just showing up is almost a guarantee to getting a workout. You won’t always get the best workout, but you’ll make way more progress than if you take days off.

Much appreciated. I'm going give this a go. Another situation that it might be useful to explore could be (starting/continuing) training while suffering from insomnia. It's very difficult to stick to a solid schedule when you keep getting thrown off the rails by sleeplessness, and it's very difficult to plan for. The snowballing despair from starting over again and again, while making little to no progress, is probably the worst part.

I just started jogging beginning of August 2019. I am in the obese category as I'm 1.59m weighing 80.6 kg then. I started jogging non-stop with 1 km for the 1st week, 2km the 2nd week. And currently am able to jog 3km in the 3rd week. In the past, I couldn't even run 0.5km w/o stopping for air. Coming from a hot & humid country, I opt for a night jog as the air is cooler. 1 thing I came to accept. There are going to be good & bad days. There are days that I have to cut down the 3km daily goal as my body could not take it for the day. Listen to your body & don't overdo. Most importantly, enjoy the process. It will keep you motivated in the long run. I'm still in my 3rd week. So far I've lost 3kg at 77.5 kg. Hopefully I can continue this as a lifestyle for a better health. Wish me luck.

I changed my diet and, my sleeping, and started walking, but I really want to gain more stamina, and strength in my body, specially my knee since I have arthritis. I've been walking for a few weeks and am up to 5k walk at about 3miles an hour, which is really big for me, but I want to start doing some running. I tried 1/1 walk run and it about killed me after like 3 intervals. I'm going to try this 30s/90s one and I totally know I can do it, and eventually work my way up maybe one more week to 1/2. Thank you for the video.
