I am a die-hard fans of The Run Experience. I want to make a suggestion: If there is a summary at the end of every video, that will be perfect.

[@lesahenderson7365]

This’s the simple, clear information that I need! Thank you!!!

[@jamiescott7321]

Good work Nate! These videos are keeping me going!

[@murshizimahadzir8459]

[@lemonlime1713]

Thank you for this. I'm planning to run my first full marathon this year. This video is extremely helpful

[@YuriyBraterskyy]

AgnesJXmonkeys how did it go mate? I’m at your point now, planning to run in 7 months

[@orihirshfeld387]

hi! thanks for the tips. i'm training for my first marathon and videos like this one are really helpful. hope to see more about full marathon.

[@TheRunExperience]

Thankyou for this video, I've been battling an ankle issue for the last month. It started after a physio gave me exercises to strengthen my calves.. on your tiptoes, hold for 45 seconds each leg, then add weight until you eventually reach your body weight. So that would mean I would be doing one-leg calf raise holds for 45 seconds with 85kg of weights.. 6 reps. I got to 20kg and developed an ankle problem. A different physio then had me doing 150 calf raises per day to get over the ankle problem, but the ankle just wasn't getting better. Your focus on flexibility and on walking on tiptoes I reckon is exactly what I need. Not so intense. Feeling a lot better already.

hi.. would u mind to make video bout what to eat before and after running and how to prepare (eat) our self before marathon, like a week before..

[@adamgroves4467]

Do check out my channel, I am posting a week by week diary on my run up to the marathon!

[@TheRunExperience]

Yes! Lots of nutrition videos on our channel now.

[@hariszukic5910]

I suggest pull ups, dips, pushups bodyweight squats/Pistoles handstand push ups and a lot of core work is ideal for a strong and functional upper body for long distance running

[@RamjiRamachandran]

from your last video.. I learn deep breathe from stomach.. it's helping lot to run more.. can u explain about the drinks take during running ??

Am doing my first marathon next May and am thinking why 😭, I have to train through the winter,am going to try to find a running club because none of my friends run, and I always train alone, last year half marathon and this year half marathon I ran sub 2hrs, but I basically took it easy didn’t push myself in training to run any faster, which is fine, but my goal is a little extreme I want to run 3hrs for my first marathon or a Boston qualifier maybe I can run a qualifying time for my age group 35 year old female, I ran 6 min miles in high school there are women in there late 40’s running sub 3 or 2:40 , basically hard work pays off, I think it’s possible but putting in the work isn’t easy, thanks to the run experience for all these great tips keep them coming.

Hi Nate I have my first Marathon (Dublin, Ireland) coming up at the end of October. A group of us are running:training three times a week which included a LSR on the weekend. We're starting to cover some distances now but a common complain is upper back & next strain after 10 miles. Any advice.

[@TheRunExperience]

work on your posture will help things a lot. also work on rolling out your upper back (thoracic spine). Here's a run drill video for posture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIGbZGhulLWhr9U

[@akbarshoed]

I watched this twice. Do these assessments determine if I'm not cut out for a marathon?

[@claireatterbury2703]

Another great video...Would you recommend the lateral shift even if you can maintain position without it? Thanks Claire in rainy Cornwall, England

[@TheRunExperience]

Yes!

[@swagatamsamanta5071]

How to run marathon if one have knock knee???

[@caesar29ehealthchannel95]

It's. Easey I do 300 push up. In morning and night. Squats

[@Cv56789]

These are mostly upper body test. how would this determine marathon readiness? and or running strength?

[@TheRunExperience]

The idea here is that if you're strong enough to hold good form in your upper body, you'll be able to run this way for many miles, and thus could eventually complete a marathon without injury. Basically the strength in these exercises translates to the endurance of the upper body's posture as you run. Hope this makes sense!

[@PoetWithPace]

wow! I can't do any of these!

[@Anzhela2]

For some reason when I run outside, a 9 min mile pace feels faster than on an indoor track and this is concerning because I am aiming to do 7-8 min miles for my first marathon but because of the fact I can't run as fast for my long run out side verses inside regardless of temp, I'm concerned that I won't be able to properly pace myself nor be able to learn what a 7-8 min pace feels like off of a track. I have used a watch that tell me my pace but even with that, I couldn't run as fast outside as I could in. Even in the nice weather that had temp near what the indoor track had. Is this something to do with my cadence or something else? Thanks :)

[@TheRunExperience]

Hmm. What is the elevation change like on your outdoor runs? Sometimes you don't notice hills as they come up, but they can definitely slow down your time without you noticing cause the effort will still feel similar.

[@Cv56789]

Wind resistance will definitely play a role! the faster you run outside the more you will feel that resistance!

[@koreymccants6940]

I found that running on the treadmill with a slight incline helps with the translation from indoor to outdoor. I trained between 1-2% incline and met my half marathon goal. :)

[@RamjiRamachandran]

Nice video.. next month Sep 25 planning to go for 21 k marathon.... so I'm practicing last 2 weeks like 3 days running and 2 days workout and 2 days break.. and trying to increase the distance and timing of running... anything more require for the practice or is it fine ??

nice video :)

[@teeonhighhill8827]

Push-ups have nothing to do with how strong your legs are. Yes it will tell you about your core a little, but not your legs

[@caesar29ehealthchannel95]

Yes

[@tracyannmorales897]

~Loved the video! Checked U two KaTz out on fb. I'm training for my first marathon. I gained weight after a Lis Frac/Torn Ligament & I ran once when I was fit, but it was a 14 mile pride run! I'm looking forward to checking out Ur other videos!~ :* WiNk! #BaByGiRlD. #SoCalGirls #Pinups #Wellness #Fitness #LivingHealthy #WestCoast #CaliLife #CuzICan
