Running Mistakes by NEW Runners & Veterans

[@michaelbland1982]

The biggest mistake I often make is continuing to train whilst an injury is setting in. I’ll feel a ‘niggle’ or slight tight spot, but instead of stopping straight away for a couple of days I convince myself it’s nothing to worry about and continue to train! Then it gets so bad I have to take two months off! Listen to the body, it’s trying to tell you something 👍 😂

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Been there done that! We all learn from these moments.

[@DanRuns]

We’ve all done this at one time

[@xaviergallo5253]

yep that’s me right now

[@closmasmas9080]

I think that’s me right now, but it seems to be getting better, so I’m not going to stop unless it gets worse

[@scp025]

I like how you didn't edit out your little "mistake" at 14:47 :D

[@TheBeardedBoofhead]

I think emotion got the better of him there, and that's one of the things I love about Seth.... He's not afraid to show it and we're treated like family ❤️

[@ctransdell544]

The biggest mistake I have made is not maintaining the strengthening exercises that have helped me recover and get stronger from past injuries. Specifically hip and quadriceps exercises for my past bouts with runner's knee and IT band syndrome, and hamstring and glute exercises for hamstring tendinopathy. I've learned the hard way how important it is to maintain these strength routines (which, as you say, is a part of that other 50% of being a runner!).

[@davidohearn8047]

QD: When I started running 2years ago I wasn’t recovering properly. Wasn’t stretching enough and no foam rolling. Well I hurt my hamstring and was out for a while. Now I don’t go a day without foam rolling before and after runs. I also do yoga to keep me limber. Recovery is key.

[@Gogalen789]

Proceed with caution on foam rolling: way overrated and can aggravate nerve endings.

[@davidrees2164]

Works fine for me, had years of calf problems, ironed em straight out, works a treat. 👍👍

[@Nessunego]

When I started running I really wanted to improve fast while not getting injured. The things that helped me the most were: 1) recording myself while running to get every possible error in my form; 2) considering rest and recovery to be an active part of my training and investing in them: I got professional body massage 1-2 times a week, I got an electric muscle stimulator, I learned how to sleep better; 3) considering food and supplements to be an active part of my training; 4) listen to my body: when my body said no it was no; 5) studying cardiac zones training and using a chest belt together with a sport watch to monitor my heart rate in every training session; 6) planning my training sessions in advance and establishing realistic goals to achieve; 7) enjoying running more than staying on my couch

[@Nessunego]

@@ronchildress6410 Now I use Powerdot, back in time I used Compex. I use it for active training, massage and to improve muscle strength and endurance. Can't believe how much more easy is to use Powerdot than Compex. Results are the same.

[@Nessunego]

@@ronchildress6410 I use the dedicated Powerdot programs 3 times a week together with my usual exercise and running routine

[@BigJohnMcCarthy1]

Good morning everyone

[@wastelander1015]

QOD: if you go to the track for interval sessions, run half the workout in one direction and half in the other direction. This will prevent stress on your left leg from always curving in the same direction. Another mistake is neglecting pronation and using inadequate shoes. And another is neglecting the importance of stretching and running techniques drills.

[@ParkerMax]

Jeez Seth, I'm already a couple minutes in and I feel like you are calling me out as I have not been getting the best of sleep lately 😂 Cheers DGR!

[@runningwithstelvio]

Yes true, increasing the volume too quickly is a mistake. But this rule is valid also for the rest, for instance speed, pace, number of repeats etc. One big mistake I did in the past is to do less stretching. In the end I had knees pain due to that. Exactly for that, I agree with you, running is not only about running but such kind of exercises (stability, strengthening, core) and especially stretching are really important. I'm convinced that if you run less but curate all of these, you will perform even better than increasing only your running volume. So investing more time on these exercises could be the key factor.

[@eggbert6900]

New runner here Seth. Love your work! I have soooo many questions...

[@leonardlee9874]

I think this is a really nice vlog with so many good comments for those ‘going to be’ serious new runner 🏃‍♂️ like me. There’re a lot of stuff to learn for running and from running itself. DGR 💪🏽

[@Kelly_Ben]

QD: My biggest mistake has been taking winters off running due to weather. I switch to hiking, but lose so much fitness, then start over every spring. No progress over the years, regular injuries... I switched to ultra running last year, and can't afford to make that mistake again. My first year in 30 years training through winter!

[@celloman2525]

QD: Not taking time off/taking it easy when I felt an injury coming on. Shin splints have been synonymous with my running for as long as I remember, until I began to listen to my body and give it rest/more easy runs/temporarily lower mileage instead of powering through and thinking they would magically go away.

[@iliasilantev8324]

Good day from Belgium

[@BrendanEvan]

I’m only 34 but maintaining the “rest” of the body already feels SO important! Gonna need to do it with my first ultra coming in November!

[@dannyjacobs6734]

QD: Starting too late in life! Didn't start running until I was in my late 40's. Kids moved out and I finally had more time to focus on my health, which at the time, was not good! Running was my exercise of choice, and I haven't slowed down since. Love your channel! Keep it up!

[@getfitbrian3039]

QD: my biggest mistake is going too fast for my fitness level. need to work on slowing it down and maintaining an even steady easy pace. I sprint out the gate and tire out way too quickly. great video seth. cheers everyone!

[@steveilg6134]

my biggest mistake when younger has been summed up nicely by "The Lung" himself and fellow Durango Native; Ned Overend who told me directly during a club ride, but has now been made famous; "Steve, listen, most cyclists {can insert runners, swimmers, nordic skiers, etc) train too hard on their EASY DAYS and NOT HARD ENOUGH on their Hard Days!" head bowed to another great Vlog, thank you!

[@Mdbr842]

QD- honestly, not getting properly fitting running shoes. I was running in AT LEAST a half size too small, was chewing up my feet with blisters and losing a toenail. I thought that was part of the deal. Got shoes that fit, total game changer.

[@gbmpam8]

😲😟 pleased to hear you have the right shoes now!

[@ericfenske1138]

QD: I think my biggest mistake was not having a plan for my half marathon last year. I figured I could just run it and do well based on my normal volume. But I didn't have speed workouts or anything else like that leading up to it, and I fell a little short of my goal. But like you said Seth, life is about learning from mistakes. So now I am following an actual plan for the Glass City Marathon in April. I'm not sure what results that will lead to, but I feel good about where I'm at and where I'm going. Thanks for the great vlog!

[@UltraDad]

Loved the end! Been there but usually more takes than that!

[@katrinaalison2511]

QD: just the classic mistake... when I got my first running watch I really had no concept of different types of runs and so would just aim to push myself everyday ... Which resulted in a big swollen knee. Still struggle with wanting to push my pace (cuse fast is fun!) ... But I'm beginning to be proud when I do a slow runs and keep heart rate low. So progress 👍🏻

[@RyanSmith-hf7gc]

QD: Basically forced myself into a midfoot strike from being a heel striker, had recurring shin splints for about two years, and even now have to be really careful with my lower legs.. it's a game of patience

[@patrickvanderwal6324]

QD: I'm suffering right now from my latest mistake. In my training block I increased the volume (which was fine), but I also increased the intensity. And that proved to be too much. Now I have a small hamstring injury which prevents me from doing anything but easy runs. Lesson learned.

[@gsmittysSanD]

QOD: Starting to run without a real training plan. I would just go and run the same three runs over and over, and after initial gains stopped seeing any progress and burnt out. Once I did some research and started varying workouts and paces, my running improved dramatically.

[@chrissherwood7679]

QD: Great vlog! I’m a vet and been running for 15 years but my biggest mistake is overtraining! There have been way too many times I’ve taken easy days way too hard. Thought I always needed to run hard to run fast. So upside down!

[@Shevock]

I've only been running since August, so no big mistakes yet. I'm doing the Lydiard base phase now, which doesn't have any days off. I'll probably take a day off anyway, even though I'm not injury prone. I have plantar fasciitis, which is feeling much better now than it did last summer before I started running. I feel blessed for running during the pandemic since it's not like I can just drop into yoga and karate classes at the Y anymore.

[@onemanzu]

I appreciate the ending. Shows you’re a human and that even the film editing has some slight bumps. my biggest mistakes are trying to do too fast of speed workouts too close to a peak race. I’m talking like trying to do paces that are way over reaching just to see if I can when I should stick to the plan.

[@cg5380]

I definitely agree on the mileage increase point. I increased mine to quick at one point and my shins had pain down the side because of it.

[@ThePacpie]

Seth, I had to find the vlog on the race clip you showed very briefly here of you and some dude sprinting toward the finish and you taking the fall. Dirty 30, I believe. I found it and holy moly, your content has improved by a ton. From production to even the way you talk now - I'm not sure if it's confidence or energy or what, but it is so good now. Can't lie, wasn't feeling the typewriter effect! and lastly, that dude cut you off!

[@andywright7425]

QOD: My biggest mistake (so far) is the running everything at a single pace. Every run I did was 4:20/km distance didn’t matter, conditions didn’t matter. I was fixated on that average time and didn’t want to go slower! Just fatigued me for no gain other than being really good at running 4:20/km for hours on end. 😂😂

[@terencetan236]

I am facing the same issue. 5k or 10k, my pace is more or less the same. Tried doing some tempo stuff but tires me out quickly.

[@andywright7425]

@@terencetan236 I started following a training plan recently for a race that won’t exist just to get me into good habits. Learning to run slow (relatively speaking, as pace varies for everyone and my fast is slower than some people’s recovery runs) is way tougher than I thought it would be. Keeping form when going slow is trickiest. It’s been great fun doing it though and I really look forward to faster days then appreciate the slow days as I’ve been able to put more effort into the hard work. It’s almost as if Seth knows what’s he’s talking about when he says easy days easy and hard days hard. 😂 One day I’ll learn to listen to those much smarter and more experienced than me. One day.

[@terencetan236]

@@andywright7425 have been thinking of slowing down for the easy days but I’m already terribly slow haha. Been reading about some drills to build my strength for more speed.

Good Morning

[@davidwhiteley7075]

QAD: when I started running 5 yrs ago (in my 30’s) I didn’t understand the importance of good running form. I ended up with injuries etc. not until I learned to run properly in conjunction with running specific strength training was I able to be successful. Running is a skill, and it is important to learn to run properly!

[@SeeChadRun]

I love your thoughts on taking some time off when needed. I just completed a 56 mile run across Denver from my house to my in-laws. I now want to prepare for a 5K PR/TT, but I've been feeling a little more tired than normal the week following my 56 mile long run. I've decided that I'm going to take this week off to allow my body to rest, recover, and reset (even though my muscles feel fine, I feel like my body is still recovering, if that makes sense). I'll start my 5K speed training next week!

[@182mattyboy]

Amazing video thanks Seth, QD: thinking I could run through an injury and I’d be fine because I needed to hit certain weekly mileage. Ended up sidelined for 3 months. If only I’d be smarter that may not have happened. Whilst it’s a mistake it’s most certainly an experience to learn from. Pre-hab yoga and recovery is key now

[@iRunOnBeer]

Learning to prehab was one of the greatest lessons I've learned to help keep myself healthy! I still struggle keeping up with that routine but do as I say not as I do right? lol

[@BM-di6wr]

QOD - First, another great video SJD. My biggest mistake is trying to continue to push on when injured (achilles tendon and plantar fasciitis). Running for weeks on an injury slows any chance of recovery and causes running form to change which in turn leads to other issues.

[@Neo47MORGOTH]

QD: days off (or lack thereof) used to be a source of exhaustion that I just didn’t understand. Thankfully I think I’ve gotten better. Ran my first trail 50k recently and took a week of rest before running again, feel pretty good now!

[@mariaavinafranco8046]

Thanks for the reminders. Biggest mistake was running a marathon injured!

[@AbbeyRoad1962]

great information, Seth. Thanks, For me I went from 5K to Marathon with 2 Years. Looking back was just to quick

[@michaelb5432]

QD: Biggest mistake was a couple of years ago when I began mountain running races with only road running experience.. I went out with my normal road pace and was exhausted after the first peak! As you mentioned to though mistakes is not always the right way to put it, I think of them as experiences or lessons. Now I love both mountain and road running.

[@shawfield]

Best lesson for newer runners is that making mistakes is the best way of learning. I always tell new people to be patient and not extend mileage too soon. But inevitably ( just as I did in 1978🙂) they get carried away and are injured. But at least that proves to them that the advice was correct and they won't do it again 🙂

[@gbmpam8]

Learning with an injury is not fun! 😕

[@runningwithdr.andrewdpt9177]

Starting off too fast on my first Marathon. I hit the “Wall” around mile 16. I agree nutrition and taking care of the body with strengthening, foaming rolling etc.

[@danieltsuedo334]

great video today.., I just recently decided to not run a 50K, and go with the 25K option instead.., as I am still trying to dial in my nutrition for the longer distances..I am good for up to 18-20 miles.., but it’s a different thing for those last 11. I probably need to consume a bit more, in the first 2/3rds of the 50K

This is all so good to know! Thank you!

[@MaartenAnna]

QD: Feeling "great" during an easy run, deciding mid-run to make it a tempo run & pulling my calf and achilles tendon a few years ago. Still bothers me from time to time in cold weather. Always have to proper warm up and nurse the legs afterwards.

[@studiokmrphotography]

QD: Not dialing in my nutrition for my second marathon while going out too fast. The second half of the race was suffer fest, but I learned a lot.

[@benw2578]

I was just about to post a poll asking when the Christmas tree was coming down ! Lol

[@johnny_fiv3]

Not recognizing an injury at first. Felt like a cramp in my calf, walked it off, but continued on for 11 miles. Ended up being a strain. Basically it is important, like you say, to do the runs but also do the maintenance. Otherwise you are doing the P.T. and rehab. Be well!

[@CAIrondad]

QD: My biggest mistake definitely relates to nutrition. When I did the Ironman I learned that in a big way, by being very bloated at the end, not really absorbing what I was eating and drinking, and being unbelievably dehydrated. It was not a good feeling!

[@37wolverinedreams]

QOD: I think my biggest mistake pattern is trying to skip transition steps, not taking them incrementally. If I was a 6-gear car, I skip 3 & 4.

[@SibKalsbeek]

QOD: Biggest mistake was on my second 50km race. I had only electrolyte mix in my hydration pack and was not taking in enough pure water. I had cramped up 23kms in and it was a rough haul to the finish line. Nutrition for the longer races is critical, find the balance between salt tabs, pure water intake and what gels feel best for your stomach.

[@trainwellracewell]

QD: Too many races in a short amount of time. In 2010, I had a stretch of racing on roads for 10 straight weekends and ended up with a stress fracture in my pubic ramus bone. You live & learn

[@gokiwi2642]

QOD the biggest mistake I made when I first started running was, I thought just run hard every training session, to get faster & fitter, it worked for awhile but on my second half marathon, calf muscle blew out 5k in the race, & was injured all of 2016 but now that I’ve found out run hard days hard & easy days easy, running has improved & also by adding one easy pace long run a week has helped strengthen the body & legs so less injuries, cool 😀👍🏃🏼‍♂️🌳🌲🌴👊🏼👍

I have a similar issue. Had about two dozen of small ankle twists, almost no pain but over the years partially dislocated my perineals 🙁 So many people underestimate rolled ankles.

[@jamesharrell4131]

QD: Letting my long run be too big of a percentage of my weekly millage. Would finish the long run overly exhausted. Eventually got a calf injury just a couple weeks before the marathon I was training for.

[@brigidreilly5265]

Biggest mistake I made was I didn't change anything about my diet when I started to do sessions and take my running more seriously. After 3 months of increased intensity I went to donate blood and was refused as I was severely anaemic (iron deficiency) 🙈 I never had low iron in my life and I couldn't believe it but it's actually really common in runners. Basically I needed to just rethink meals and snacks from a standpoint of how they fuel sessions, recovery and just general runs.

[@ricksticksgaming]

It's OK to take another day off if you're too sore for a training session. Pivot and maybe do a walk, some light stretching, think about why you're still sore (last training too intense, not enough sleep, sunburn/illness which body is also healing or recovering from, etc). It's not a weakness but a strength to take care of yourself - I've done my fair share of running through pain like blisters, rash, achey joints and found it is rarely worth it - unless it's a million dollar race of course.

[@johnhermens5002]

Biggest mistake I made for years before doing some research. I figured that to get fast you have to train fast. I did it all through high school trying to keep up with the varsity runners, I did it in my 20s training for 10km, 1/2M and full, and finally when I got my dog and stayed walking regularly, then had my son and had to start running with a stroller I slowed down. When I finally slowed down in training I improved all my race times from over a decade of running by big margins.

[@jankaduraciiik]

QD: the biggest mistake, for me, was actually not taking time and research which shoes might be the right ones for me...Im not saying new runners should just overcomplicate stuff with gear and get the best shoes they can, I ran for the first like year and a half in regular walking shoes, and running shoes from an outlet that were far too big for me and I was relatively fine...but when I truly started increasing my mileage and signed up for my first race, I went ahead, and just bought the first shoes that seemed to fit, which gave me endless shin splints and calf pain for 6 months, because they were too firm for me This one is a tie with another mistake, which is running through pain...running through pretty serious ankle pain it caused me 3 months, when I couldnt run last year...just, dont do it guys, I know its hard, but, if I took a rest then rather than going for a long run, I mightve been out for a few weeks, instead of 3 months

[@closmasmas9080]

QD: I think I didn’t run enough mileage to support the workouts I did in the past. I also ran a lot of my easy runs closer to steady effort

[@runsdeep552]

When I first started running I would run easy runs too fast and not be recovered for workouts, it left me exhausted and it took a knee injury to make me realise my error...

[@aussieintn8036]

QD: I'm one of the many who jumped into a marathon with inadequate training. I knew I could run a half, but did not know I could NOT run a marathon!

[@fredknoch]

Men under 25ish shouldn't run long distance races like marathons. My highschool coach told me that men's growth plates on their bones don't fuse until age 25ish. That means that men could damage their knee if they do significant mileage before that age. I listened to this and avoided marathon distances until older. Later in life I got into healthcare and learned in my advanced anatomy and physiology class that my coach was indeed correct about the growth plates in men. Women's growth plates fuse earlier so they can handle the mileage earlier in life.

[@aitorarotzena2550]

I don't know if it's too much related with the vlog, but this is a quote from Lily Aldrin from HIMYM: "OK, yes it's a mistake. I know it's a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it's a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say 'yep, that was a mistake.' So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you'd go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not. And dammit, I've made no mistakes! I've done all of this; my life, my relationship, my career, mistake-free. Does any of this make sense to you?"

[@Biodoc100]

With regards to your comment about "swinging for the fences on big races", at what point would you consider being ready for 100 miler? what about for beginners wanting to do a half/full marathon? When do you know you are ready? Especially if you are not going to be truly competitive for a win, and finishing is your goal...

[@gbmpam8]

In my view the best way to know whether you're ready, will be looking at your weekly milage. This applies to races above 21km / 13 miles. There are vídeos from Seth where he explains weekly milage.

QD: After running for the last 10 years, now I'm 39, I am worried about how does it feel to age and not being able to "keep the pace" anymore. Not exactly a "training mistake" but it certainly affects the whole journey.
