Hey, now you know how I feel after 5k 😁

[@goranwinblad]

😅

[@ratnakordosshu6291]

😂

[@RivnatZille]

The feeling of running again without pain after an injury is simply awesome! One of the feelings in the world! Congrats on the amazing 100k Ultramarathon and congrats on the fast recovery! You're doing great!

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah it really is 😁 Thanks!

[@Kelberi]

I cannot wait for your 1 mil KM Super Ultra Marathon when you get that 1 Mil subscribers 😅@@goranwinblad

[@picklerick692]

super happy for you. glad to see you don't need to give up your running streak

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks, me too 😃

[@gusmontano]

Oh goodness - that feeling of running pain-free is indescribable! Thank you for sharing!

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah It really is! 😊

[@peterhabel]

Good to see you recovered and also quite interesting to see the recovery day by day 😊

[@plowestv]

Dear superdad, what an incredible achievement! Glad you are still on your streak. There is one certainty of course, and that's that it will end, at some point. I watched this last night but watching again now ahead of my 1st 50k ultra in October. Bravo!

[@KC_rocka]

Congratulations on 100k subs and finishing the 100km race, I'm glad you're recovered from it, it looked ssoooo tough, you're an inspiration to new runners such as myself.

[@DIYTechRepairs]

Was almost afraid you would give up your running streak. :) both you and me know that it can take a week or to to recover and those short slow easy runs do help (for most things....) i just did Kia fjällmarathon 100k the other day. Took 4 days before my ancle and hip stopped aching and a week later I can run properly. I'm not fully back of course but still :) keep running!! Fellow swede ultra runner here

[@LilSimen]

Great work! Just need to think out loud for a second.. I guess the short and easy runs help blood flow and off course the mentality of the runner. But how far do you run the first days? I would guess like a 10-15 min run would do for the first day? Just enough to get the body warm and blood flowing?

[@DIYTechRepairs]

@@LilSimen my minimum is 2k each day. My slowest 2k after 20h+race before was around 17 minutes :) and the the day after ghat often 14 min and so forth. With that don't run with an injury that will get worse. It's a judgment call but for me it's worth just moving my legs and body. I have been lucky since starting my run streak and actually listening to my body I have been free from injuries that have prevented me from running. Sore yes for sure. Hip knees yes everything. But nothing dramatic

[@LilSimen]

@@DIYTechRepairs Gotcha. Very nice to hear :) Im not on your level, but finished a half marathon two days ago. Sore, but very manageble.

[@WithOskar]

Hi Göran! Love what you do! I am in the same profession as you are and this video really made me think. Patients come to the clinic and we give advice to modify training load, focus on recovery and do some exersice or whatever. For us its just another patient, but hearing that they cant continue or that they need to take breaks could be devistating to the patient, mentally. The look on your face when you said "...this is the last run in a while", and the joy after you did your lap pain free. Physical activity is so important and you are amazing at showing the ups, downs and to inspirie your audience. Thank you :)

[@HumblePieInTheEye]

congratulations! i'm recovering from a knee injury at the moment also. your blessed to have an amazing family in a beautiful place, can't wait to see what's next with your running.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks and good luck with your knee recovery!

[@pjlehtim]

It's great to see this part of running as well. And very happy to see that you made it!

[@goranwinblad]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@KaraDani]

Congrats on the 100k and on the speedy recovery. Crazy what you just did with very suboptimal training, hats off. I'm in the middle of the training block for my first marathon. I've ran last weekend my first longer long run on pavement instead of forest to see how it goes on hard surface and out for a week now with swollen ankle and it was only 28k.

[@hisyamuddinaris2140]

I feel you Goran..have a good rest ya

[@MitchBoyer]

Your endurance strength is insane! 👏👏👏

[@goranwinblad]

Thank you Mitch 🙌

[@io-rj6sk]

i find it fascinating how well u can recover and alrdy running like that in 2 weeks!! respect

[@Mookiethedog]

Dude you’re crazy in a good way. Happy your knee is improving! Your little girls have some good DNA so you are definitely going to have to keep running more and more!

[@floatrollcrawl]

I think it’s awesome that you prioritize being a Dad! I have two kids too, and the Dad/job/fitness balance struggle is real

[@oliviakillen]

congratulations. soo glad for you. my knee injury has been 18 months and i dont see the light anytime soon x

[@tnan123]

Nice that you didn't have to give up the streak. Great video and glad your recovery went well.

[@MrSkindianabones]

Well done mate, brilliant.

[@gavsta18]

Cracking effort on the 100k! Don’t forget Courtney is doing UTMB this year too 👀

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks! Yeah she is an incredible ultra runner!

[@acs4872]

I am recovering from ITB, and on day 3...I am ready to jump back on the saddle!! You are an inspiration for me.

[@patrickrose8325]

Can’t wait for the recovery from 1 million subscribers

[@goranwinblad]

😅

[@a.fdz.prieto1870]

Felicidades, y enhorabuena. Tus vídeos resultan siempre muy inspiradores y llenos de motivación.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks makes me glad to hear 😊

[@thedolenorway]

Nice to see you working through the pain in an at least mostly responsible manner. I think this approach maybe works especially well for someone like yourself that have a really good foundation to begin with.

[@wimseffelaar8950]

That sound like an IT band issue! I’ve had that and it is certainly no fun 😞

[@NMbones98]

Absolute warrior 🔥🔥🔥

[@richardknowles8653]

On my long training run in preparation for a tough 100 Km my knee went bad at 20 miles. Ended up with a stress fracture of the patella plateau and light tear of the posterior meniscus. Out for 3 to 6 months. Will come back stronger and the fishing is great. Takk for video!

[@EruIluuvatar]

Big kudos Göran... your videos are still so inspiring! And enjoy, coz the gold button will be another story when you have to do a 1000km run 🤣🤣

[@ralphjacobsson894]

Thanks for taking us on your journey of recovery, thanks for the r inspiration

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks for watching!

[@chukasnorisas]

Nice, congrats 👏👏👏

[@ciprianjiurec6956]

Thank you for this video. You are an inspiration. 🤗

[@karmatt3098]

Love your videos! You got me back into running and I’ll always be thankful for that.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks! That's so cool to hear and motivates me to keep making videos that hopefully can inspire more 😊

[@MINIMALmtb]

Congrats on 100K 👏💪

[@goranwinblad]

Thank you 🙌

[@okaydoubleu]

Always an inspiration, Göran 💪🏼👏🏼

[@goranwinblad]

Glad to hear 😊

[@Jaigarful]

Those shoes at the end look like my Saucony Speed 3's. I love the Speed 3's, they seem to last forever. I think I'm pushing 600 miles on mine.

[@Tennisboy3010]

What a champion!

[@TheChrevil]

I know how you feel. Currently training myself up to do a 100k Ultra, current training has me doing 25km to 35km doing certain sections of the same trail route. Just trying to get my hydration and nutrition planned, that is the hard part. I do think my feet want a divorce. 😂

[@goranwinblad]

Ok cool to hear I wish you the best of luck in your preparation towards the race and the race itself 😊

[@akbarm2974]

Wow, fast recovery 😮

[@philvivking533]

Congratulations on your recovery, I’ve really enjoyed your videos for a long time now and this one has prompted me to ask my first question… why didn’t you run with some compression bandage on your knee? RICE (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) is basic treatment for any joint injury and might assist with supporting the joint while you continue light exercise.

[@TiloDroid]

i think i migth have a similar injury with pain on the outside of my left knee. I didnt really know what type of injury it was but it might be a tendon strain. Im on my 5th rest day right now but i will try to pick up my running tomorrow with 10min easy on some grass. it really sucks when youre in pain and cant run so its nice to see your successful recovery!

[@noambz]

ice out a ton!!! your body needs it :) it can be as simple as putting an ice pack in a plastic bag and wrapping it to your knee! hope you feel better!

[@strangregor]

Big kudos for all running dads :)

[@RE71476AD]

Hi. New sub here from the UK and loving your vids! I have the exact same injury as you in this video (outside of left knee) after doing 100 mile race. Can you recall how you fixed it and how long it took please? Been 10 days post race and can run a few miles before the pain starts. Thanks.

[@Jaigarful]

7:30 Yep, a lot of recommendations on rest aren't really backed by science. This same thing used to happen with people recovering from heart attacks. They'd suggest bed rest for a few weeks which often ended up causing even more problems.

[@Kelly_Ben]

So right. I had a minor heart attack a few years ago. Thanks to covid, further testing took 5 weeks, and my first appt with my cardiologist took another 2 months. (In America) I obviously stopped running until my stress test, but had to continue with my daily farm work, no choice there. By the time my stress test came, my heart damage had completely healed, and they couldn't believe how fit I was. I went back to zone 2 only training, and ran a half marathon 2 days before my cardio appt, where he cleared me to continue my ultra running. (Thankfully I'm not that interested in pushing speed anymore! 😂)

[@Shenepoy]

I think you should apply muscle patches or braces on the knee after the run to lessen the load and to speed healing

[@afknow]

дякую за таке чудове відео!!!!

[@rennleitung_7]

Comparing to others is always tricky. Courtney is currently ranked No 27 in the backyard ultra statistics. She accomplished 68 yards. So she even might not have gone to her limit to win the 100 milers.

[@amatoridrottaren]

Hi Göran! Have you made any videos on using multiple shoes? Do you use the same shoes every day, or do you switch?

[@Enoch-Root]

What kind of stuff and how much are you eating to run that kind of distance? I've done a few solo 25k and 30k runs, but that's not even a marathon. At the time I was still trying to burn excess fat, so I wasn't eating a large amount before setting off. Since losing weight I've found that doing large amounts of exercise like that leaves me really low in energy if I have only had a light breakfast or lunch, feel like sleeping. Also got runners toenails in addition to other injuries, the toenails look the worst, but wrre the least of the problems I had.

[@alexanderhogagard5194]

Damn! Machine!💪🏿

[@watersfakeplants]

Running that much is the smartest thing a human can do 👍🏼

[@leonardodavinci7668]

Hi göran! Have you tried to buy a band that you wrap arround the knee? I had the exact same thing and I got two bands from a friend. I then could run. You should try!

[@HashBrownDoyler]

Good jobe awesome!

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks!

[@davidhayward1261]

Brilliant 👍👍🏃🏻‍♂️🍾

[@hitlin37]

How do you manage with nails? I lost one of my big toe nails after running Göteborg varvet...first it turned blue and after two months, finally now it fell completely and a new one has come up almost half way. I run now as normal. But would be interested to know how to avoid such an injury. Also, Another question, does putting legs in water helps?

[@stephencooney1768]

You're such a beast, man! I was already happy that you recovered so quickly, but then you got that course record. I could only think, "Right after his injury... of course he did!" You never cease to amaze me, man. Great job! Love all your videos!

[@takalamiika]

What kind of phone do you use for filming? Also congratulations for recovery 👍

[@goranwinblad]

Iphone 13 mini, thanks!

[@porterjeronimo2984]

The best way to repair an injured knee is by bicycle or by slow jogging. Even if the pain is 8/10. In this way, you remove blood clots and thanks to the movement, the knee cleans up faster and heals. Doctors usually recommend rest and lying down. But then the injury turns into a chronic disease.

[@seedmole]

Big +1 to active rest. Waiting around for it to "feel good enough" can lead to months of inactivity, which can cause further problems, in addition to not even providing the conditions needed to heal the main issue.

[@GuoGuangChiou]

Yeah rest definitely is needed

[@CaeSharp]

Why only running? Why not cycling, rowing and swimming on your recovery days?

[@falten4538]

Awsome! ❤

[@joec3247]

I Get The Pain On The Sides Of My Knees (Tendons) on Long Runs As Well. Anything One Can Do To Prevent That, Or Strengthen That Area Of The Knee? Thanks So Much

[@Robin-N]

Just ran 92k Ultravasan yesterday, never felt pain like this before 🤣

[@goranwinblad]

Cool to hear congrats on finishing and I wish you a speedy recovery!

[@shuaibkadir8657]

Squats are great for itb

[@BullHorn7]

I'm here for the 1000K run when he gets the 1 Million plaque

[@trailsandbeers]

drink beer then the knee won't hurt as much 🍻

[@wallyevans4228]

Walking provides same benefits of running just slower

[@scottystaples]

Did you do anything special to overcome that knee pain?

[@craigward7691]

Did you have razor blades in your shoes?? I've done a number of ultras and my feet have never looked remotely like that

[@mokuscsik]

Yay!🎉

[@runningforviews]

I would say that running the 100k is easier than recovering from it haha

[@ovenkloven]

I buy shoes only 2 sizes bigger than actual size. No more black toes

[@Trokner]

Well done mate.... What Saucony shoe did you run the 540 m in?

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks! It's the endorphin speed

[@99cya]

When you are in big pain, arent you afraid that you really destroy something that will have a permanent or at least very long lasting effect? Imo its a fine line between hanging in and pushing through and doing real damage.

[@Kelly_Ben]

I've discovered through training/ racing which pain means stop, and which pain is just my brain trying to convince me to stop. I often get horrific knee pain towards the end of marathons/50ks, but I now know it'll stop almost immediately at the end of the race, no injuries or lasting pain! I think personal experience can be the best guide on when to push and when to stop.

[@patrikhedman6315]

Jag har smärta på samma ställe på knä som dig. Vad tror du orsakar smärtan?

[@posebukse]

Why didn't you go to a physiotherapist for a checkup? They can do quick magic sometimes

[@goranwinblad]

I’m a physiotherapist myself and have a good understanding for what works for me😊

[@z0uLess]

Have you tried rolling-massage out the glutes?

[@jsd4544]

Was Courtney injured though? She might've just been wiped out, not actually damaged.

[@realgrilledsushi]

Goran in UTMB when?

[@goranwinblad]

Hopefully one day 😊

[@superponta]

What running stroller do you use?

[@goranwinblad]

It's one from Thule, it's a couple of years old don't know if it's sold anymore.

[@vadympryimak4157]

[@trailsofanoldrunner]

Yahoo!

[@IAmSchtolz]

Start preparing for 200k. Jokes aside, love your positive vibes :) p.s. no, 200k was not really a joke :)

[@goranwinblad]

Haha will see!

[@pocok5000]

It is kinda stupid if you ask me. I'm a runner myself but these distances simply have no benefit.

[@Kelly_Ben]

Oh, but they do. Mainly mental. When you slow down, take in the views, maybe chat with the volunteers and other cool runners... it's a beautiful day in nature with like minded people. FAR more enjoyable - and beneficial- to me than 13.1 grinding on the road.

[@henryschmidt6887]

Running in jeans should be just as big of an accomplishment as running on a bum knee

[@goranwinblad]

Haha 😅

[@AustinPatenaude]

🫡 respect

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks!

[@walkerpercy8702]

Seems like self-punishment.

[@aslam7952]

Running marathons in narrow forefoot/toe box shoes that destroys your toes? Yes, something stupid that all KZbin running channels seem to love promoting.

[@AienAristeuein]

Tiny runners :D

[@roxannethomas1227]

100 km in 4 hours hey... 😂

[@mateusz3162]

do not try it at home ;)

[@shuaibkadir8657]

The title should be how not to recover from a 100k lol jk bro. Its a crazy achievement well done but next time just take a week off after a race. The streak means nothing compared to your long term health. You dont wanna be 50 with busted legs and cant even enjoy life with your kids.
