Have been following your videos. Am 48, started practicing for running from July & completed five 10K Runs and plan to do two more & need to train for half marathon next year & full marathon in 2018 when I turn 50 - learning to respect my body type & go through proper training for the half & full marathon in coming two years - also got myself a 21 gear cycle & doing 15-25 km rides, hoping to 60-70 km weekly with Running & Cycling - sorry very long comments

these are great tips...thanks! I am always looking for tips to give to my son since he is on the HS cross country team. My favorite one here is the part about leading with the hips (at 3:15)....I tried that this morning and there is a chain reaction that follows that is great on alignment...once the hips lead, so does the core and the chest, which lifts the chin up and pushes the shoulders back, thus allowing for better movement of the shoulders. It's hard to remember this as you get more and more tired and your shoulders start to slouch forward a bit, but the improved efficiency is very noticeable.

[@TheRunExperience]

Exactly! It takes some focus, but the difference is very real!

[@gregharoutunian7631]

Love it! Grew up right below your video site under Sutro Tower on Marview Way. Very helpful.

44yo, just quit smoking. Dusted off my cross trainers about 3 weeks ago. I have been doing 5 miles a day since, but walk about half of it. Basically jogging is my interval of choice. Going to work these into my walking periods. Just want to know about run days vs easy run days in several comments? I have been doing dame thing everyday, but now facing some pain issues?

[@TheRunExperience]

Hey Paul, well done on kicking the habit and taking on a new one. You may be hiking your mileage a little faster than your body can keep up. Perhaps try some strength exercises on the alternate days and keeping your cardio activity to walking on those days to give yourself time to recover fully between the runs. As you get stronger you'll be able to add to your mileage and increase the running intervals. We have a ton of strength and recovery videos on the channel :)

Love the physiology and physics references! How often should we do the drills if we are on a 4-day run schedule?

[@TheRunExperience]

You have a couple options - you can break up the drills into different days and use the rep/round scheme we suggest for those 1-2 chosen drills, as a warm-up on a run day. Or you can complete all drills together on at least one non-run day a week, as a type of cross training and skill work practice. Keep us posted!

[@xsinclair6671]

The Run Experience great idea! thanks! will do!

[@gregorynotgreg]

Could high knees and butt kicks be incorporated into an easy run day? For example, 20 high knees every even mile and 20 butt kicks every odd mile perhaps?

[@TheRunExperience]

Absolutely. That's a great way to incorporate. It will definitely keep your form solid and "fresh" throughout the run.

Do you have a good stretch or exercise for getting my hips to not be so tight? Like you said I sit at a desk all week.

[@nikitaw1982]

If did theses three times a week as a work put for a month would this have similar affects to my running as a regular beginner running program

[@mzkabn]

that's much better than a waltz, it's a 5/4 🤗

[@LOV3CRAF7]

Great 🌟

[@zampadodrunken1818]

are these for sprinters?

[@zampadodrunken1818]

am just saying this because most of what I have seen on your channel says marathon runners/10k runs which are all long distance so I ask this question because am thinking your channel is purely made for long distance runners

[@philemonkipkoechkandie4972]

Zampado Drunken Yes. To a certain degree
