HOW I STOPPED HATING RUNNING

[@abbyooooo]

taylor: "i'm a beginner runner" me: me too!! taylor: "i've run a 12k" me: :O

[@ivylovesrunning]

Don't worry. You'll get there. Everyone is different. You may not be able to run 12km yet, but you will if that is a goal.

[@emilyhancock3163]

not me agreeing to run cross country with my friends just to spend time with them and then getting addicted to it whaaat

[@TaylorWoods]

ok that is a glow up story if i’ve ever heard one

[@miag1528]

Girl I only did it to prepare for vb and ended up quitting volleyball and running is now my full time sport

[@annao1694]

i only did it for a friend. I suck at running but I fell in love with it😭

[@NikiBoo1466]

Wait why do we all have the same story lmfao I did it to hang out with my BFF too

[@EuphoriaInBloom]

Low key wish all of my friends were into running so we could spend more time together

Tips from a cross country/track runner! 1. The first-month is going to be hard but getting past that, you'll be in running shape and it'll be easier 2. Take it slowly, and slowly build up your running (helps prevent injuries) 3. Make sure you're eating enough food and eating properly(helps prevent injuries) 4. Do leg strength and core strength workouts, to help prevent injuries from the pounding- Just look up runners plyometrics and core workouts 5. Running with a group, team, or with friends makes it so much better, easier, more motivating, and a lot more fun(Be careful right now with corona with this one) 6. Set goals to stay motivated, but don't make them giant goals, make them smaller 7. Depending on your goals, vary your workouts. Like, don't run just 2 miles every single day at the same pace. Mix in easy runs, longer runs, medium runs, maybe track workouts, depending on goals 8. Make sure to stretch, roll, and ice after runs, again look up running stretches/how to roll, etc. 9. As Taylor said, Proper running shoes are crucial! (again injury prevention) 10. Pain that lasts a while or is very painful-stop and get help, don't push through. There's going to be pain with running so again, if it lasts more than a few days or is extremely painful, stop! 10. Have fun and don't make it a chore!

[@claudiamirandola1305]

Also, hydration is super important! Make sure you drink enough water (1.5/2.5 litres) the day before

The first mile is always a lie! Always find I feel grim until that point and I want to stop and then as soon as I’ve hit over a mile it’s like I don’t want to stop! So proud gal x

[@mariapaularangel6058]

I used to hate with all my forces cardio workout, mainly HIIT, but the more I practiced, the more I enjoyed doing this type of exercise! I believe that its because when I started, I couldnt go all the way, and, now that I can, I feel more capable of doing so, and learnt to like it! I believe this serves as a tip hahahaha. This video is really amazing, congrats!

[@TaylorWoods]

absolutely a great tip! i think that’s so fabulous!

[@GiadiXLoveDance]

I do the "waiting to listen" with your podcast! The "rule" is that I can only listen to your podcast while walking, so at least one time a week I'll walk for an hour

it's crazy because I was just thinking about how I should start running and then you posted THIS! it's a sign

What you're experiencing is what we call a running high. It's what makes running addicting. Also yes. Its pigeon

OMG OMG OMG VIDEO SHOUT OUT!!! You killed the ab workout..it does take time to get the whole thing down! But you got this girl!! You are doing my workout suggestion so I guess I will try getting back into running (I ran cross country in middle school but have not successfully gotten back to running since)..but I think I need "I hate the treadmill" to drop on Spotify so I can run to it (before listening to the Twisty Pod of course)! lol

[@TaylorWoods]

i had to :) hehehe music video coming soon!! be there be square!

[@michocolll]

I love running too! When I run halfway, I will try to increase the pace and see how long I can keep it. You are NOT a beginner! 12k is not a beginner lol and love your braids! I motivated myself to go running and walking by listening to your podcasts (best ever)! Enjoy your weekend! ily 😘

I started running 9 months ago, on and off but stopped around October time as it got too cold (at least that was my excuse!). Really hope this video gives me the motivation I need to get back to running! Ps I love your videos! 💗✌️✨

[@TaylorWoods]

i believe in you alex!!

[@ivylovesrunning]

Yay! One of us, one of us. 😄 I recommend to strengthen your shins and ankles. It hurts awful to have a shin splint and twisted ankle.

[@rachelbarnett6890]

For ppl living in winter but want to run outside, wear as many layers as you can while running. I wear about 3-4 layers of tops (tshirt, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, coat/windbreaker), 2 layers of bottoms (leggings and sweatpants), a hat, mittens, and a mask, then I put the sweatshirt and coat hoods up. And remember, you will warm up as you run.

[@kristine6215]

I love watching your videos when I run inside on the treadmill. Your smile is contagious! ❤️ Happy weekend, Taylor!

[@TaylorWoods]

that is the sweetest thing ever! i appreciate you! have the best weekend :)

[@berylk.1553]

You’re so energetic and motivating actually!!

[@TaylorWoods]

wow thank you!

[@SimplyAvalon]

Not going to lie I had a similar realization after I found out I was wearing the wrong shoes for running. Definitely go to a pro run shop to have your foot checked because if you are wearing a neutral run shoe when you have some pronation you won't have the same experience running (and could get injured because of it).

[@TaylorWoods]

wearing the proper shoes is so dang important! no injuries here!!

[@Ckates]

Completely agree! Also, yes running shoes are expensive but wearing them passed their prime can also cause injury. Make sure you aren’t running with shoes that have completely worn down treads. 😉♥️

[@sarahprivat7202]

Loved all your tips! I'm trying to get back into running again and it was nice to hear your perspective and your ideas. Absolutely true about stretching and hope that everyone tries to at least do it before they run, if not after too. Have a good weekend Taylor!

[@BeHealing]

We went into out first lockdown for a year, gyms closed, only thing I can do is run. Yay I thought. Usually I’m training Muay Thai once a day and going to the gym 3 times a week. My abs are ridiculously strong. Sit ups are like walking, I could do them forever. But omg, I ran 3km (after 1 year of not running) twice, 3 days apart, and now my abs, front and back obliques wreck! I’m literally laid up and the massage places are closed as well as the gyms. I have never had this kind of pain with running before...

Any tips for breathing? My lungs always seem to give out before my legs 😩

[@CinnamonToast]

For me I slow my pace dramatically (think like half what you think you should be doing) and get into a rhythm of breathing that's really consistent and timed. Take fewer, deeper breaths rather than lots of short breaths. But it is still always a struggle so I totally understand if that doesn't help. Just keep practicing and don't judge yourself.
