I was 130 in my first two years of high school, jumped up to 150 my last two years. Then I ran college cross country and out on 25lbs my first season. After college, multiple years of semi pro football, rugby, and ultimate frisbee got me up another 10 pounds. The lock downs added another 5. Then training for Murph and HYROX added yet another 5. So I am now a 5'9", 195lbs dude... but still run decent. I wish I had never bulked up for contact sports, but no going back now!

As a larger woman, I think the worst part of getting into running for me (other than finding shoes because I also have weird feet) was finding a sports bra that I could put on without dislocating my shoulder. Champion makes one called the "Spot Comfort" that has a normal means of putting it on and goes up to 42 DDD- Won't help everyone but it certainly helped me.

Try SHEFIT bras! They are a lifesaver and adjust both the shoulder straps and the rib cage strap, which is super convenient because I don’t need much heat to be immobile for everyday use. When I exercise, I am able to tighten as needed and adjust the support.

Just wanting to share my story as a heavy runner. 6'0" currently sitting at 210 but would say my normal is 195. My highest weight was 305 and I was able to lose all that because of running (and orangetheory). When I first started running, a mile was my target distance. I have now completed 3 half marathons (very happy with my PB 1:48:00!!). Common problems I had included chafing, intense stomach pain after long runs, achilles pain and so on. Body glide, compression boxers, only very small amounts of water before long runs and stretching... I think the most important thing is to be comfortable when you run and take your time.

6'1/185 and top 50 at US Cyclocross Champs after a comeback season. Going to make a comeback to 5k/10k racing this year in order to crosstrain. Big difference for me is being 62 years old - and that makes injury-free disciplined training a priority. Bit different also that I am a former 4:24 miler, maybe not "elite" but good enough that I've won some races in my day. Love this video. You are spot on just about every aspect, especially about technique and efficiency. How you run can determine how fast you run and will determine how injury free you remain. Big guys can indeed run, ride and race with some careful planning and discipline. If you're a newbie, get a coach as you suggested. Bravo, you got a new subscriber.

Those PB's are no joke, good job! For me, the biggest barrier to getting into running as a big guy has always been how much my calves hurt for the first few months. But not necessarily pain, more like my lower legs are filled with concrete, just stiff and dead. It is a fine line to walk between strengthening and preventing injury. Some days the stiffness is just awful. I find it to be a highly unpleasant sensation. Oddly though, the faster I run, the better my calves feel. If I trot along at 11 min/mile, they get very stiff, but if I cruise at 8 min/mile they feel great.

I have flirted with running through my life but get horrible and unrelenting shin splints that inevitably derail my progress no matter how slow I start and what other activities I try to do to help. I've moved to a part of the world where I want to be out more (probably trail running rather than print/timed running), and will try again at 40+.

177/5'10 and 98kg/216lbs, just ran my first 10k ever in 1:01:19. Running has never been my thing, but I'm getting into it.. My "base pace" is definitely more than my cardio can support

6ft peak weight was 390 and 54 waist. Now 310 with a 40 waist. My personal best on my last cycle was 1.5km run without stopping. Just starting a new cycle with significant weight training and cardio on alternating days. We'll see how it goes.

Back in high school I was the varsity heavy weight wrestler (270lbs) running the mile in track. It was such a blast with the starting gun. I was averaging a 5:35 mile time which beat most of the CC runners. So much fun.

My son is 6’6’, 280lbs, 14% body fat. He runs a lot. He is very careful to exercise and care for his ligaments and joints. They are the Achilles heel (so to speak) for heavy runners.

I'm 6'3 258 I'm down from 308 in Jan and running has helped me drop a lot. I've gone from 16 minutes to 11 in that and hopefully can get it down with this

I’m a 6’6” guy who will never be light. I’ve been focusing on slowing down and nailing my form to make sure my knees can serve me pain free for years to come. As a side benefit, my slow down has meant my zone 2 training has increased. My watch, however, isn’t as happy with the amount of zone 2 training I’ve been doing. Oh well, form first, then l’ll think speed.

Really good video. I started running as a heavier bloke but ran 8km on my second run and herniated a disc. Going to slow recover but I will give this a go again. Zone 2.

I'm commenting before even finishing this video. I was always a runner. Weighed 160lbs and was fast as could be. Started a job where my boss was a professional power lifter when he was younger. I spent Oct to about March 2 years ago in the gym during the winter and gained 40lbs of muscle. When spring came around and was excited for a run... I could barely move. After a year of depression and feeling sorry for myself for not "being a runner" I am back training again. Thanks for this video.

I am down to about 211 and have run 5 half-marathon’s training for a 6 and thinking about running a full. It’s been a fun adventure getting to this point and I am just looking for ways to continue to push myself.

195cm and 100kg here. Always used to be a keen - if not very good - runner, but since breaking my femur in a motocross accident 4 years ago, have struggled to get back to it. Barefoot shoes definitely help force a more efficient style, just need to stop my brain trying to run as a 44 year old like I once could as a 24 year old!

Was 217lbs, down to 195lbs as of today. Started running again. Always felt over 205lbs just got injured constantly. Focusing on running shorter distances 1-3km and nailing technique. Long term goal sub 20 min 5k, with bodyweight around 185-190lbs.

This is amazing info. I started running 2 months ago for my cardio and because I haven't done so in so long plus being overweight didn't help much. But ill practice this and see how it goes.

I’m around 15ish stone & 6ft tall.. I come from a weightlifting background but I’ve always been pretty active .. started to try and do some running again and amazing for a 10KM run in the next few weeks … I’ve been splitting my running between the road & air runner and it seems to be working so far ..

1.5 years ago I was about 250 lbs. Now down to 195 or so. I spent about 6 months only doing easy zone 2 running on the treadmill. Started hitting the roads and trails about a year ago. Last month ran my first marathon in 3:25. Two weeks ago raced a 5k in 18:41. Next marathon in December, with a decent chance at running a BQ. It's all about the grind.

Last time i ran i was 140lbs and just finished basic training. Got very complacent and 5 years later im 278lbs. My first run was a reality check on how comfortable i let myself get. after a month and a half ive gone from being barely able to jog a 1/4 mile to comfortably doing a 5k in 36:45 and 241lbs Im far from where i want to be but dedication and relentless discipline will get me there.

Great video. Thank you. Looking forward to using some of these when I finally get rid of my plantar fasciitis. By the way, I love the music in this video. Is this something you came up with or is there a track I can find online?

The advice on breathing is a big help. I didn't realize that I could actually do more improving my cardio by keeping at a nose-breath pace. I thought you had to go harder.
