If you are going to run a lot you need at least two days a week of strength training.. Squats, Lunges, pushups, pullups, dips, Kettlebell Swings, burpees and especially your core.. I notice when I regularly strength train my runs are easier. Also it prevents injury and fixes muscle imbalances..especially lunges..Also The Assault Air Runner Treadmill really helps your running form and body positioning. It's just as hard as running outside. 2 miles on the Assault Air Runner is like 4 miles on a regular treadmill.

Nice comment! And I totally agree about the importance of strength/resistance training.

@@thewayofthejumprope i live in a small town and in high school we ran the mile. No teacher ever told us anything about proper form & techniques. I would get cramps or my ankle would hurt b/c we landed on my heels first. that was just from running 4 laps after 10 yrs, I tried keto, intermittent fasting & morning run + sprints. no warm ups, no stretches, but I watched athletes and they land on the balls of their feet first, or even almost flat. just that alone removed the pain. 20 laps on saturday, thin shoes, no ankle problems, and after that full on sprinting, no pain. sunday, same thing. no pain. i think minimizing impact was the major issue here. oh & thank you for making this video. the break down was very helpful which I wish our PE teacher did when I was little.

Also, it’s important I state that on my original comment I stated I did a 4 mile run on Day 1. Well 2 miles in I took a little 5 minute break and my legs were feeling HEAVY. But this was before I saw this video. I was doing everything from long steps to looking down, and making tight faces. I haven’t felt my legs heavy since watching this video, I haven’t had to stop for any breaks or anything. I’d say it’s working great so far. Let me know how it works out for you.

[@moseskr6503]

Thanks a lot for these tips. As one runs often and keeps a mental record of what the small changes feel, the can come up with what works for them. I run a lot at 98 kgs and at some point wasn’t really tiring even after an hour’s run, I felt I could run some more. What I found to be extremely helpful was keeping my butt tight which helped with keep my spinal cord fairly straight. I also found that keeping my knees slightly bent gave me more mileage and less strain and pain. As I run often, my movements become more efficient. Moving a head unnecessarily kind of drains the body. All effort goes into movements with the least possible effort. Strangely, after and hours run, it always feels strange stopping, I always wanted to go on. I did a lot of skipping being in a boxing gym. But being in my 40s I have to do things in moderation. It is a real joy to run, it’s fun being out of breath.

Hey Michael, I find running after jumping rope works well. Jumping rope beforehand even briefly warms up and loosens the feet, legs, and body nicely. After some jump rope sessions, even a short run, of say, 1km can feel good and provide conditioning benefits. I jumped rope earlier today and ran for 2kms afterwards at a slow pace but it was a nice way to finish.

It became effortless eventually, but, life and work gets in the way, so I got busier again.

[@thewayofthejumprope]

Great question Bill! When watching fights, you might hear commentators say something along the lines of, "his mouth is hanging open. He's breathing with his mouth. He's tired". I can't generalize, but I believe most boxers including Mayweather, try to inhale with their noses and will exhale with their nose and/or mouth depending on preference, intensity, and situation (breathing with your mouth open can leave your jaw susceptible to a hard punch at the wrong time). During clinches in the ring, I believe Mayweather would often use that time to take deep breaths with his nose and exhale with his mouth. Mayweather is in such great condition, that on runs, unless the intensity is high, he could very well do mostly nose breathing and exhale with the mouth at times. He does however often leave his mouth open on runs. This could be to relax his jaw and/or he could be exhaling gently. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to run alongside Mayweather and find out firsthand. Wouldn't that be something? :-)

The position of the arms I think comes from the fact that he is a boxer, I have practiced boxing and they teach you to run almost as if you were on guard and throwing a jab from time to time, if you run down the street like that maybe you can attract too much attention and lower your hands a little to avoid it, by the way the relaxed hands, I think it is due to the habit of having the hands relaxed before hitting and just at the moment of launching the blow close them, to create tension in the wrist and avoid injuries, in addition to hitting harder because it goes from a state of relaxation to one of contraction.

Hey Jorge, I thought the same as you; not clenching the hands has it's benefits for running and even while at rest, but it's certainly possible that he developed the habit through boxing.

@@thewayofthejumprope i used to sprint at a fairly high level and we were taught not to clench the hands as its wasted energy and thumbs up aswell.

Thank you Rones. Glad you enjoyed the video.

I'm a former DI distance runner and I always thought he had great form. You can also tell his traps and shoulders aren't tense. That saps a lot of energy too.

I was told to focus on pushing off with my toes and engaging my calf muscles more to build up ring endurance.
