Hey Matt! Can you make a beginner running series covering the basics like form, running warmups, training excercises etc ? Love all your content!

[@schenkmeister19]

Thank you for the tips! I’m 25 and just got into running. Built up the confidence to sign up for my first half marathon in 6 months and will definitely incorporate these in my training

[@miggoy734]

how'd it go?

[@thememedealer5301]

Yeah how did it go?

[@ragnorokzer6089]

Lol I’m 25 about to start running

[@stayphun6188]

How was it?

[@schenkmeister19]

Went really well! Definitely sucked but never felt more proud finishing. signed up for another!

[@macariocarido5954]

I'm 58 years old male,a begiginer,thank you for the running workout tips,it helps me a lot for my running routine.

[@Tiahpie]

notes 1. 0:45 Easy pace workout - 80% of running. building an aerobic base. 2. 1:29 Fartlek workout - speed play. eg 30s fast 60s slow 3. 2:41 Track workout - repeats around the track. 400/800/1000/1600. build anaerobic. high intensity 4. 3:35 Tempo/ Threshold run - holding an anaerobic state. push at high speed for better endurance for a slow run 5. 4:21 Recovery run - shorter distance. slower pace. 6. 5:08 Long run - more time on your feet. increase endurance.

Do we have to do this day by day

[@lalit-singh-bisht]

everyone suggested me do walk and run as a beginner and try getting into the state of running. and this guy opened up a whole new world to me and now I'm confused about the how to implement these

[@Jhayzen]

​@@lalit-singh-bishtYou can switch running for jogging instead and jogging/recovery for walking instead.

[@mbrie12]

More of these please! I played soccer all my life and am now getting into running but never had real running training/guidance other than sprints. Love this!

I was involved in a motorcycle accident last month. A car in front of me wasn't paying attention to a speed change and slammed on their breaks. This started a domino effect and I was at the back of the dominos. My bike came down on my foot and ankle. Thankfully, nothing was broken. However, I lost a good chunk of skin and my ankle and big toe were black and blue from being smashed. I had to complete a fit test for work today. This included a one and a half mile run. I was able to complete the test in the required time. Even though my ankle/foot wasn't at 100%. I've decided that I want this fit test to be easy next year. I'm going to use videos like this to prep for my fit test next year. I plan on killing it next year. I just completed the test with a bum ankle. There are no excuses!

[@mrbuddha9746]

I just started taking running seriously about a month ago all because your videos they help so much and my goal is to run a sub 3hr marathon one day did my first 5k a week ago at 30mins I’m 25 6’2 260 CrossFit guy too

[@sharpridgehomestead]

I must need the beginner beginner workouts lol ... my cardio system is in great shape even after battling cancer for 2 years and I can do a 75 minute workout split into 15 minutes in each zone including zone 5 and when the workout is over I feel like I could just do it again. I'm also a (pre-cancer was a) long distance hiker so running miles mean nothing to me, not intimidating. I lift weights regularly. My problem with running has plagued me for years and that is .... ankle pain, calf pain, itb pain. I should also mention I am 53 years old and I used to run track when I was much much younger and loved it. Anyways, post-cancer my goal was to get ripped ... so I am shooting for 10% body fat and I started in May 2022. I'm constantly changing my workouts, no two days are the same and I wanted to incorporate running into my current routine. Just about 6 weeks ago I couldn't even run 30 second intervals outside. But I don't like failure so I kept trying. I changed shoes, i started stretching more, and just didn't give up. I also bought a treadmill thinking I could work on improving my running on a treadmill then transition to outside (greatest idea I ever had). I've had the treadmill 3 weeks and some of the workouts it has are obviously intervals. I started walking A LOT, 5x30 minute sessions a day first at 0 degree intervals then increase it by 1 degree every 5 minutes so I ended at 5 degrees, Then I transitioned to walking at 6 - 9 degrees. All the while I am doing initially a 30 sec 1 minute split intervals for only 8 minutes ... it was a struggle. But I finally did it, albeit slower. I started increasing the speed and then that 30 sec 1 minute split got easy. So I found another one that was 45 minutes with a 1 minute 2 minute split ... and I repeated the process ... as it got easier, I increased speed or incline, then I even reversed the work/rest so I was running 2 minutes and walking 1 minute. In only 6 weeks I was able to go from "can't even run for 30 seconds" to "I just ran 15 minutes without stopping". The morel of the story is, just don't give up .... quitters never win. Hopefully this will help some other beginner beginner runners.

[@lucasvarley9764]

Amazing stuff! All your vids are so well done and very helpful. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Have you ever used any of these custom meal plan tools? I got one from Next Level Diet to help add some muscle and I actually like their plans. Was just wondering if you've heard of or tried any of them yourself. Thank you!

[@jerryb.7021]

As someone who does easy zone 2 runs 80% of the time, I really look forward to the harder runs where I challenge myself. One of my most fun workouts is 5 miles where every subsequent mile is faster. I use mile 1 as my warmup at 10-minute pace and try to finish my last mile under 8:00. It's exhausting but rewarding. And I find that it improves my zone 2 paces.

[@adgadg3298]

Thank you so much for your videos. Really inspires me to continue running. Im just running and incorporating it to my workouts. I do bodybuilding before but when I get older I change my workouts and now that I am 40 I do calisthenics. My goal now is to at least do my first marathon.. Maybe 5k just to begin with. Again appreciate for sharing your knowledge and for inspiring. Who knows I might start to be a full pledge runner. God bless and stay fit!

[@startrunstop]

recovery runs are essential in training to be able to continue progressing over time

[@invisibleliberty2275]

I just started Hybrid training. Your videos really help. I have been doing your workouts and following your videos. Thanks.

[@MrKenng123]

Your videos motivate a lot of us eho have never run shirtless before. But I love them a lot.

[@FredsFolly]

These aren't workouts. This is just a list of the types of runs all people do at some point. In running the word "workouts" refers to harder efforts. Typically they refer to track intervals, tempo days, and even a long run with marathon pace effort. Easy efforts, recovery runs, and long runs are not workouts. The title "Running Workouts for Beginners" implies there are specific workouts (eg. 6xMile at marathon pace) for beginners to do in the midst of their training.

[@Kroganmerc]

I’m a very beginner runner. My goal currently is to run a mile without stopping 😂

[@Rlflfofofoekekekrk]

[@darnellboone3893]

Great video. As a new runner how many days a week should I run?

[@Tiahpie]

Hey Matt, I've set a goal for myself to achieve level 10 on the beep test/ multistage fitness test. I can currently get around level 8, depending on the day it'll fluctuate between 7.5 and 8.5. so I'm pretty far off. How should I go about increasing the beep test? My running routine consists of 1 to 2 easy runs (2 km) per week, I'm not a fan of running but I really want to hit this goal. I feel like if I keep smashing the beep test I'll hopefully eventually get to level 10 but it just seems inefficient because after one beep test I'm burnt. what would you recommend I do? Cheers for your help :)

[@TheReelAnalyst]

great editing

[@lakelyolmo]

Hey Matthew .... Is it ok to do leg workout after a run of 2-3 km? I'm following it like a routine so wanted to check with you if it is ok.

[@vophanhongdung]

Thanks God. That blow my mind

[@QuaysonLee]

Some may think his lessons aren’t reliable, but you should remember that he’s the same guy that averaged 6:45 mile pace for a marathon. He’s a good runner, do what he does and become as good as he is.

Hey guys I'm currently at 80kgs with a height of 5.6ft/168cm and 29% body fat. I aim to lose 20kgs in the next 3 months while focusing on muscle development and overall fitness. After that With 7-months of training plan under the guidance of a coach and training @high altitudes, my goal is to run a sub-3 hour marathon in 2024. Given your expertise, do you believe achieving this milestone is possible? I've had success with weight loss and running before but faced setbacks. Determined to make a lasting change this time. My prs 10k-1hr , 20k-2hr10min (I was in caloric deficit at that time)not participated in any races and didn't done any speed workouts

[@shaanlal1592]

Hi Matt I'm a hill striker do you have a workout to fix it?

[@SwaggMessiah69]

As an absolute beginner terrible fitness level and I'm doing hill sprints just to get to a level that I can do endurance runs.

[@rockymountainskies1744]

This is super helpful... my only concern is I can't run and maintain a HR in the 135-145 range. Anytime I run it's in the high aerobic zone per my Garmin. Hence to get my low aerobic score up on Garmin's "load focus" bar graph I have to just walk a while after my run at 3.5mph. Any recommendations or tips?

[@TallSharkrider]

are you taking pre workout or caffeine before your run?

[@rockymountainskies1744]

@TallSharkrider I rarely take preworkout aka less than a handful of timed in 2 years. Caffeine prior to working out is hit and miss. It's not an intentional supplementation and doesn't seem to significantly my HR during workouts.

[@guitar864]

You just have to take it easy and do less runs per week until you’re fit enough to run in zone 2

[@unknown_worldfacts]

i can’t sprint at the minute due to a torn ACL and a post-surgery recovering LCL, how could i adjust the sprinting day ?

Question for the comment section. Does anyone else deal with bumps on the front side of their shins? After starting to run for 2 weeks, probably more and harder than I should have been, I’ve noticed them, and they’re starting to hurt. I think they may be some sort of hernia in the shins

[@dnegel9546]

update? im a new runner and i just did my first ever 10k and when i sat in the car my shins were in alot of pain. i always figured its just me cuz ibhave sensitive shins and i do get shin splints. but this time it felt like someome had hit me. 🥴 shoe (novablast 3).

[@xLatch]

@@dnegel9546 I’ve had shin splints that I’ve hurt incredibly bad. You didn’t mention the bumps so I’d probably go with your shins just couldn’t handle the pressure you put on them. I stopped running and the bumps aren’t noticeable now but I still have random pains in my shins and feet now so it’s not great. Haven’t been to a doc yet for it

[@dnegel9546]
