This is a great vid, so informative.

[@wildgingerruns]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ThePerssons]

Love the way you have developed your video style. These interview ones are great. Very informative and slick. Also shows what great people the elite runners are, giving up their time to share tips. No airs and graces from the ones at the top

[@antoniocardinale6958]

I agree with all the positive comments that this interview with some of the best athletes in the country is super good for the candid advice and suggestions from the top of the field . Good job Claire !

[@wildgingerruns]

Thanks AC, going through the archive are you? Good shout!!!

Sage always gets the sponsor plug in.

[@joelkearney196]

And so he should... knows how to add value to his sponsors so he stays sponsored.

[@TonyR1999]

First class video - thank you!

[@wildgingerruns]

Thanks, Kilian and co always give great advice!

[@gosekinz]

I can recommend the stand on one leg with your eyes closed as a nice passive way to improve ankle strength ..

[@ellisbrigham]

Great tips! thanks for the video Claire.

[@kathleenodonnell110]

Thanks very much for this - was wondering how to improve my downhill and these tips have been really invaluable and inspiring - much appreciated :))

[@wildgingerruns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Brandonlcosta]

nice video, you got great answers from these elite runners

[@ksteege]

Thanks Claire - I am sure I was not the only one but I am going to think that my question inspired an episode (LOL) interesting tips for sure I like the one about bending your knees and thinking that way - It sounds like a lot comes down to a lot of practice (a bit of natural ability) and learning how to flow down the hills to keep safe and move quickly

[@hollywood7702]

Thank you for making these great inspiring videos

[@t5kcannon1]

Thanks for the video, Wild Ginger. It was certainly interesting to listen to advice from top athletes about how to run downhill efficiently. The balance between speed and not over-extending my legs (thus jarring my knees) is something that I find tricky. I tend to go for small strides at the cost of speed.

[@martydowns2900]

Thanks for the video! Great advice from some of the best runners out there. :-)

[@robinlarner9325]

Think you got all the top runners! Great video.

Cool

[@onemanultra8167]

Jealous of all the people you get to meet! Thanks for another great video. FYI finally got the microphone and mic adaptor through today after being out of stock for many weeks. Hopefully I'll get some nice clean sound now! 👍

[@onemanultra8167]

Hey Claire! I have a stinking cold atm so having to take a few days off (boohoo! ). But since the marathon I took a week off and then I've changed tactics for a while. I've mainly been doing a great deal of crossfit and concentrating on strengthening my hips and glutes. It seems to be paying off as I do notice a difference when running now, especially on the uphills. I would love to attend more events myself but I have to work most weekends which really sucks as it cuts down the amount of races I can race as well. I am all signed up for the Lakeland50 this coming year though so I have my first ultra goal in place!

[@TheCrazyCatHouse]

Nice!

[@tsoiboy4073]

I have a knee issue (remnant of an old ITB problem) that means if I stay above about 10:30/mile I can run and run (40 miles is the longest to date) but if I push below that and run quicker my knee flares up, cutting my run short. I recently ran a trail with a long, steep downhill section and ran pretty much as this video sets out. A combination of increased speed and impact caused a flare up of my knee, though. Should I just resign myself to slower, longer runs, or is doing a lot of strength training likely to get me to a position of being able to push myself more?

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

I find knees are a part that often need additional attention, meaning additional to running. Runner specific strength and mobilization training and stretching (e.g. the quads) can benefit you a huge deal! Get informed about how to treat your condition and find out what works for you. There's a ton of info out there these days. Also: your butt and calves can take some of the load from your quads/knees. Your calves can assist in the landing phase using a more or less pronounced forefoot strike. Lots of runners with knee problems switched to forefoot running and are happy to have done so. But listen to your feet, ankles and calves when you do that because they'll be loaded more than usually. The butt should work a lot in the toe-off phase. Some runners are so quad dominant that they don't use the glutes right. Last but not least: running uphill might be easier on your knees if you use your glutes right while giving you an excellent workout! Be careful on the downhill sections, though. I run them with a forefoot strike so as to avoid peak loads.

My fav guy reviewer/running stuff, The Ginger Runner. My fav gal reviewer/running stuff, Wild Ginger. Funny Im Asian and does not have an obsession with oranges, bronze or ginger

[@Kelly_Ben]

Sooo... I'm planning on running in scotland in 2022, but grace and agility are NOT my strong points. What was this race, so i DON'T choose this one? Lol If the pros are muddy and bleeding, i don't stand a chance!

[@WhiteWizardGA]

Totally demoralise them, so they don't come back past you..... ahah love that. 👍🏻😁

[@ChivasBarcelonaMex]

David Goggins calls it Taking Souls

[@jamiesabuda7757]

Still saying Killian’s last name incorrectly.

[@Northernerdownsouth]

Bet the Hoka athletes wish they chose the Jawz for that one.

[@wildgingerruns]

ha ha yes!
