5 foot 5 is above average height for a woman.

[@annettecestari2103]

Actually, running in Portugues is “correr” (I thought you might want to know), and the word “cosa” does not exist in Portugues. It means “thing” in Spanish, but I cannot imagine why they would have shouted it to cheer you on.

[@anaritaoliveira8469]

Probably what you heard was "Força" which is used to cheer people and can be translated as "be strong".

[@zevrobins905]

Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill is superb. Probably better than Ms Bush's original. I don't listen to music when I'm running though unless I'm on the treadmill and even then it's instrumentals, mostly. Kate Bush described the song as the inability between men & women to understand each other as we are men & women. If we were to truly trade places for a time, we'd all be very surprised and it would lead to a greater understanding. And the only way to truly switch roles would be to make a deal; but rather than deal with the Devil, why not God, as God is the more powerful between the two (Radio 1 interview w/ Richard Skinner 26/01/1992). I'm 5'5" myself, as are Meb & Shalane Flanagan (short runners unite!). Loved the cheekiness of this video btw.

[@Cojak2012]

That better in bed comment absolutely killed me, as did Andy's answer of "well, I spent 10 years trying to get faster". 😂😂

[@Ruateddybear2]

I lost about 170 lbs and then started running (a lot) just because I could and absolutely love it!!! (And the running channel) But it infuriates me to no end that my friends, family, and just people in general think I lost the weight running. Seriously?!?! All that hard work!! What short memories people have! OMG! Yes, running helps but by no means is it the weight loss magic pill! It’s the 100’s of everyday little things you do, what you eat, and regular exercise. Also, while I’m venting, No, I cannot “just run it off” when people offer me cookies, cake, or donuts. If I say no, I mean no!!! If I wanted a donut I’d eat the donut! What if I just really want a banana today?? That’s another thing, Why is everyone trying to feed me because I run???? Someone answer me that. Okay, rant over, I feel better. 😂

[@runningchannel]

Yes! Go Marie! It always feels good to have a rant about these things. Glad you feel better for it (Anna)

[@WalkWhenNecessary]

This is awesome because it's true. Had a similar situation, lost about 60lbs and then started running. Got bombarded with questions about running and weight loss. Thank you Maria.

[@bezbeanzjett195]

I don't know..I lost sixty lbs. The only way it happened was running.

[@bezbeanzjett195]

I'm addicted to sugar running helps. But I have found jumprope burns fat

[@mycroftholmes8261]

I agree. When I started running I was about 25kg overweight, but I didn't start running as a way to loose weight, and I didn't really loose much weight in the first few months as I didn't adapt my diet initially. I then started eating a lot "cleaner" and have lost 12kg in 3 months. What I did notice is that my body has become really lean, especially my legs (even though I'm still more than 10kg overweight). So no, running doesn't make you loose weight, but it helps changing the way your body looks.

[@DBos77]

In the US, the most common question I get is “how many miles in a 5k?” Never fails 😂

[@mikemckinney7031]

I second that DBos. In my opinion, in the US the only people who have a clue about the metric system are Runners (Track, Cross Country, or road races), and people who have traveled alot.

[@DBos77]

Mike McKinney agreed. I’m from the Boston area and if a conversation starts with a non runner, it usually comes up

No matter how many times i watch this, Andy's answer to 'are runners good in bed?' cracks me up every time especially - I tried my whole career to get quicker!

[@bradproctor5500]

Regarding protein: Recent studies have disproven the idea of an "anabolic window" (i.e. that taking protein within 30 minutes of exercise is more beneficial than taking it any other time). The research seems to suggest that it's just as effective, so long as it's the first thing you consume after exercising, whether that's 5 minutes, or 3 hours.

[@PrentisHancock1]

So great to see Andy on The Running Channel. I hope you become a regular contributor and content creator with the rest of the team. You're a great, and warm personality. Subbed.

[@christopherlang3085]

For the question, “Are runners athletes?” let me share an experience that I had a few years ago. I have a low resting heart rate (it’s usually in the low 40’s) which I attribute to my active lifestyle that includes my love of running. There was a blood drive in town so I went to donate and while I was there the nurse went through the standard questions and tests with me that included checking my blood pressure and heart rate. When the nurse saw how low my heart rate was she asked me if I was an athlete and explained that they normally don’t accept donations from people with a resting heart rate below 50bpm. I laughed at the question and said no (after all I’ve never considered myself an athlete). The nurse then asked me how active I was so I listed off the things I had done during the week which included four runs since the Monday and it was only Friday. Without another word the nurse wrote in big letters on my paperwork, “ATHLETE.” It was the first time I have been labeled an athlete so I jokingly asked her if I could get a photocopy of the paper so I could hang it on my wall. It was a no go for the photocopy but I was able to donate blood and the memory of my experience still makes me smile. (By the way, I live in Ontario, Canada so maybe this athlete thing is a Canadian thing.)

[@boom83220]

[@dbackscott]

Regarding weight loss, I’ve heard some people say running is not good for it. However, through running and a sensible diet, I’ve lost over 30 pounds so far.

[@JessicaT10118]

I agree. If your diet is on point, cardio is a great way to accelerate weight loss. This is especially true if your weight loss has stalled. I've lost 40 lbs this year through diet, cardio, and body weight strength training.

[@amandashinton1162]

Andy, so honest, I love it.

[@mastercobweb]

I'd love it if you guys did a deeper dive on the running/weight loss question including talking to some plus size runners to kind of destroy the idea that there is ONE type of "runner's body" and the idea that weight loss is the main goal of running. Like your answer about eating 20 doughnuts if you want them, if you want to run, run - it doesn't matter what your body looks like. If you're only running to lose weight, though, you're not going to enjoy it and you might be disappointed because not everyone does lose weight by running. Plus size runners show you can be fit and be a runner at any size.

[@bigwill4978]

Great suggestion!

[@nollys8523]

Kirsten M. Lamb I think people equate “running” with being slim. Running can make you fitter but, as you’ve said, not necessarily slimmer. People also forget that fat can turn into muscle and muscle is heavier...

[@ladytalksalot4097]

I have to disagree with your last bit. "At any size." Really? There's only so many pluses you can add to your size before you absolutely *cannot* be a fit runner. XL or 2XL? Sure. 9XL? That's when running actually *will* destroy your knees (and probably other parts as well) because your body simply can't handle that much mass pitted against the high-impact nature of the sport. And I say this as a plus size woman with an obese mom. I'm on my way down, and running is fine for me, but if my mom wanted to try running, she'd destroy what little is left of her mobility in about two minutes.

In Portuguese: the run = a corrida; to run = correr; "run! run!" = corre! corre! Most ppl motivating you during a run will say "força! força!" which means "strength! strength" as in "be strong!". Enjoy your runs everyone!

If anyone cares, 'Running Up That Hill' is about a woman's desire to switch bodies/roles with a man so they can understand each other fully. That and hill reps.

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for the info!

[@clived4710]

I thought "Running up that hill" was the Vassos Alexander book about the Greek ultra, which has been covered on the running channel as well I think.

[@runningchannel]

It is that too. And no coincidence. His first was ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ - so Running-themed song titles to his books! You should check out the video we did with him on running books (Anna) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKaYda2art94frc

[@Mónicaferreira24]

In Portuguese it's correr. What people were saying to you in Açores was probably "força", which is something like keep it strong.

[@Banjofrog62]

Placebo does a great cover of “running up that hill” as well. 😎👍👍👍

[@baptistepayendessin]

In french, « running » is the snob way to say « course à pieds ». People prefer saying « Je fais du running. » than « Je fais de la course à pieds ». The « runner » and « le coureur » are doing the exact same thing on the road, but the runner shares it on social medias !

[@tripcLFM4L]

It depends on the context. When being used in this sentence "Why is he running?" it's a verb. When used in this sentence "One great form of exercise is running." it is a gerund.

[@marco_acpinheiro]

In Azores, they were probably saying "força" that means strength and it's a very common encouragement ;) Running in Portuguese is "Correr"

[@janainanc322]

I absolutely agree with the mental health! It's working wonders for me!

[@runningchannel]

Love to hear that!

[@geofftoscano6804]

Running is indeed a noun. Test it by using a possessive apostrophe such as 'Anna's running has improved a lot this year'. Yep noun, but also it's both a present and past participle. Better in bed? Well isn't it all about stamina...? Running in Spanish is centred around the verb 'correr ', to run. When I compete in the Malaga half marathon I keep hearing 'ammo'. Took me ages to figure. It's actually 'vamos' which means come on, but Spanish pronounces the v as b, and b is easily missed, plus Spanish dialect frequently misses the final consonant, especially s.

[@runningchannel]

The grammar stumped us! But I'm glad you think my running's improved this year! Also excellent additional thoughts. Thanks! (Anna)

[@filipe_paixao]

18:37 ... wait what?? running=correr I'm running = estou a correr RUN Forest, RUN! = Corre Forest Corre!

I have it on good authority they actually said Força Força - which translates to ‘be strong’! (Anna)

@@runningchannel oh! that makes sense now. the persons I know from Açores are all runners or some track and field athletes, and most of the ones that go there is for ultras. Did you see the European cross country in Lisbon some days ago? some of my team mates were running there

[@snakey973]

Running and mental health is just a huge one

[@Tacereus]

Running is the present progressive conjugation of the verb to run. 'So I am running' is definitely a verb. 'The running person' would be an adjective. 'I went for a run' would be a noun.

[@maximilianklein2062]

Teacher here. -ing forms are never verbs. They can either be gerunds (nouns) or participles (sort of adjectives but with a different syntactical function) or pretty normal adjectives. e.g. Running is fun. (gerund, i.e. noun) I am out running, having fun. (participle clause) He called me while I was running. (participle used to form the past progressive. ) You need to close all running programmes before switching off the computer. (participle used as a normal adjective)

[@Lukomeyan]

"Is running bad for your knees?" Does this not depend on your running style? I certainly think that running with a heel-strike is bad for your knees. Running with a midfoot-strike is definitely not. I have a question for you. I've been running in Vibrams since I decided to transition to midfoot striking last year. I had an AT injury which put me off running for a few months then started again in May. I can easily run 6k indoors (on hard tiles, barefoot), but I cannot run more than 3k outdoors (in my Vibrams on pavement and road) without getting calf injuries. I have decided to buy the Altra One V3 (Zero-drop, moderate cushioning). I'm hoping to receive them today. My question is: will the bit of cushioning solve my calf problems or should I rather revert to walk run intervals until my calves are stronger?

[@runningchannel]

Sounds like you need to watch our video Luke kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIaqZKB3mdd8i7c With regards to barefoot / minimalist shoes, it can take months or even years to adjust to it. Everyone is different, so it’s hard to put a timescale on it

This comment is straight to Anna and anyone else who, like me, goes straight to look for that Futureheads song. I went on a goosechase so I’ll save you time!

I use to belong to a gym before I became a road and trail runner and when I had a session down the gym I would track how many calories I was burning with my watch (I know watches can be very inaccurate at times but how else are you meant to track the calories you burn when weightlifting?). 90% of my sessions would equate to about 1,000 calories burnt, so I’d then go home grab my wallet and straight down the pub for 4 pints (which normally equates to just under 1,000 calories) but doing this I never lost any weight and if anything my stomach was getting bigger

For the question: What is running good for? - Plogging, a combination and picking up rubbish is a good way to make a contribution to the environment and socialise. Its a "running with a purpose" which also encourages less "fit" runners, as the pace is a bit slower. The heavier the collection bag of rubbish gets, the more the arms and core get exercised too.

The Futureheads covered Kate Bush's 'Hounds of love', not 'Running up that hill' 😀 Great video though. Love the content. Helping to keep me motivated. Thanks guys.

Whoops! Yes, you're right! Thanks so much for watching - glad you're enjoying our videos 😊

I do have a question, for you and anyone else with any experience of it. During trail running, is it common to run into wild animals? And how do you deal with it?

[@steadman1969]

Hey Anna, Did you mean Hounds of Love when talking about the Futurehead's cover? I couldn't find a cover of Running Up That Hill by them :O

[@runningchannel]

I did!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still Kate Bush. It’s Placebo who did the Running Up That Hill cover! Oops! (Anna)

@@runningchannel the Placebo cover is AWESOME

"running" is a gerund. A gerund is basically just a verb made into a noun by adding "ing" to the end.

[@pereiraplaza222]

I know another gerund.

A verb that behaves like a noun is called a 'gerund' ;)
