How To Run Faster With Your Hips

[@kleintsotsi3923]

The visual demonstration with the PVC pipe is very clever - I've heard a lot of people talk about pushing hips forward but never understood it. Your videos are fantastic.

[@christopherhickey2174]

This was fantastic advice. I have a marathon in three weeks and plan on practicing your drills. Thank you.

[@ChocolateJewels]

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for all the work you put into them!

[@jeanlee28]

This is the best coaching for runners!!!!!! Thank you soooooo much. I am turning 49 coming July and has enjoyed running (both on roads and treadmills) for the last 20 years, but it has been feeling more and more challenging as my menopause is coming near. Sad. I have this stubborn tight upper hamstring and lower back pain, but this channel has helped ease the pain so effectively!!!!!!! ♥♥♥

[@TheRunExperience]

Awesome, Jean!

[@westinnewman3572]

This makes a lot of sense, and answers some lingering questions I had re: my own hip placement. My feeling was that proper hip position correlated with stride length and foot placement. This video seems to offer that as a conclusion.

[@rforward1974]

I found this really useful. The chi running concept had never felt right for me, but following your video I realised it’s about the hips more than a general lean. Leaning forward doesn’t guarantee the hips follow!

[@myhandle321]

So true for me as well.

[@judescott658]

I appreciate this concept and will incorporate it into my training. Thank you for sharing

[@munarong]

Recently started using the hips running method (from the other video of this channel) and I found it felt lighter for real, very good method. Currently trying to change my bad running form habit to get better. Gotta give the credit to this channel. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@TheRunExperience]

Keep up the good work yourself!

[@nelsonross6761]

Hi sir , I m from india n ur my teacher n thanks a lot i learnt so many things by ur videos . Thank u

[@sfbryan23]

Thank you Nate and Holly for your daily hard work to help us runners. The run community is stoked to have TRE. Life goal to be in the vlog! Thank you. You said, 'dollars to donuts' hahaha!

[@murshizimahadzir8459]

Great and i will beat the pace🏃‍♂️

[@kristi115]

I just started reading Chi Running, and I really like your visual of leading with the hips when leaning, since that's close to the body's core and where the legs moreso begin. It feels natural as I run. Thank you!

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

Great exercise idea!

[@larrygood6764]

Good explanation, I've been through three or more Chi Running workshops over the last 3.5 years and this is a good alternative view of it from what we were taught. I've often noticed that I felt at my best with very little effort when I led with my hips.Thanks for posting another good running video!

[@TheRunExperience]

Thanks for watching, Larry!

[@Casrus27]

Thank you for this video! I've been struggling to understand how you can lean, whilst running tall!

[@luigipellegrino2290]

You are the best. Watching from Italy

[@jamessawyer9018]

That was interesting and cool can't wait to try it

[@thibod07]

thank you this makes a lot of sense!

[@RCvandervelde]

Good stuff! Really like the band drill

[@chrisj8844]

Hi Nat, thanks for sharing your tips with us. Over time it maybe difficult to come up with video ideas. Here’s one for you, Using “Energy Gels”.

[@TheRunExperience]

haha. you've read our minds :) thanks!

[@chrisj8844]

The Run Experience More video ideas: - weekly diet - how many days off per week? - does compression gear really work, especially tops & leggings? - should I be running at my so called maximum heart beat (220 - age)

[@havegregory]

Neat idea, however it will tend to put more pressure on the facet joints.

[@kaitlinb476]

how does one understand Vertical Oscillation and vertical ratio? does it still work if you lean with the hips?

[@richwood1522]

Is that the Golden Gate Bridge, in the background??

[@dattatreygopesh]

Thanks sir. Very useful for runners. Happy Diwali and have a good day. From India

[@mmannozzi06]

Look forward to teying it. Scooby, you in?

[@mmannozzi06]

*trying

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Michael Mannozzi You can edit your comments

[@Alecmcq]

Is just pushing your hips forward while running effective?

[@tumizoomi202]

Great video, super information. How often to do the exercises, 2-3 days per week? 1 day per week?

[@mddruns]

omg i am having a horrible time activating my core/abs during this.. do you have any tips?

[@nightsfalling]

Does anyone knows where can I buy that elastic band?

[@berksryan]

Any thoughts on the Pose method not allowing the foot and Achilles to properly load while creating a bigger hip extension out the backside; thus accessing some free energy return?

[@TheRunExperience]

Hey Ryan not sure about your question. Do you mean that the Pose method does NOT allow the foot and achilles to properly load? Or that improper loading is a common error in runners and they don't get to take advantage of that "free energy"? We certainly agree that you want to tap into that elastic energy and return but didn't focus on it for this video...

[@Johny40Se7en]

Some great tips, thanks. I do a variation of these exercises every week so it's nice to have more variety. That one at 5:24 though, I was just thinking if someone walked by and you were doing that it would just look so funny =P Good drill at the end too, resistance training is awesome for everything.

[@tomedwards5910]

The quarter inch off the ground looks more like 2 or 3 inches

[@wolfganggermain7175]

Are running parachute good for marathon running?say for endurance and speed where needed.

[@karlareyes4688]

Thanks but when I'm laying on the ground you said to keep abs tight and butt squeezed...i cant!! 😢😢 how can I improve on that?? And I still can't understand leading with the hips 😓 maybe practice will help. One more thing...when I'm on the ground trying to rock my pelvic bone hurts...should I put a pillow under it or something,? Thanks and sorry for the weird and dumb questions.

[@zXJulianXz]

Struggling with the hips forward up hill, but not on flats or down hill. Is that normal?

[@yellowsnow19852003]

Yes

[@heikkisanelma6625]

I'd be very careful how to use key words like "squeesing abs" etc.. might start a sequence in ones abdominal wall that will halt the activation of diaphgram -> effecting negatively to breathing ability and core stability which comes from pressure in the abdominal space not from squeezing any muscle...

[@heikkisanelma6625]

good drills though!

[@TheRunExperience]

it is a subtle yet very important point Heikki. Thanks for sharing.

[@anokhicreations4183]

when you say COACH before your name what does it actually mean? are you marathon runner as well?

[@bambangsuseno7479]

I amaze how this vid got very little likes/ attention. Running with glutes/ hips is a correct way to run longer, thus it'll force ur body to burn more calories

[@TheRunExperience]

We hope more will see it soon!

[@ignacioojanguren6547]

Hello, I am training for a marathon and I have read that stepping hills first can cause more injuries than stepping front foot first. Any recommendations how to correct it?

[@TheRunExperience]

watch our videos on natural running form. That will help a lot!

[@ignacioojanguren6547]

Thank you!!!

[@marlinweekley51]

Your videos are fantastic and very helpful and very well done. But if I hear “gravity pulls you forward” one more time I’ll pull out my last few hairs😂 gravity works in one direction - down not forward. To overcome this force vector the muscles must exert energy - leaning forward simply helps full extension of leg muscles,. If gravity is “helping”it’s because the muscles have pushed the body up (burning calories) that’s why long distance runners (I run 50k to 100 milers) keep their feet low to the ground - to save energy. Hey everybody google physics 101 for a refresher. End of rant🤪

[@myhandle321]

Do you rock your body with glutes squeezed? If yes, that's gonna be so hard to do, man!

[@lamrof]

Does Brian bounce too much when he runs?

[@TheRunExperience]

Actually no - though the band makes it look that way in some clips.

[@DonAranda]

Where can I get an exercise mat (not a yoga mat) like the one in this video (any brand)?

[@joshr.5199]

Now he should try sub 2:50:00 ;)

[@TheRunExperience]

ha!

[@garethpowell2894]

.

[@christineribone9351]

he ran for nearly 3 hours straight!?!?
