[@katariina7697]

Just came home after a run after watching your tips. Noticed I was dragging my feet and holding my pelvis kind of behind my body, fixed those according to your advice, and wow, ran faster, longer and lighter straight away. So it felt important to come back and say a big thank you for your expert advice. You're making a difference, thanks so much!

[@TheRunExperience]

So happy to hear reports like this! Thanks for sharing and glad you're getting more out of your running now!

[@Divineveggiemama]

This was so helpful. I ran my 5k this morning and improved my average pace from 12:47 to 11:27. That's a huge difference with such little tweaks. Thank you for sharing.

As a beginner i absolutly love your vids! But at the end i had to giggle :D Like.. since one month i am working on a 15min run without any stops while in beginner videos everyone talks about "when you are doing your 30min run" :D Lets try not to be frustradet! I got this.

[@rachaelbullmore48]

I'm onto week 5 of C25K now, and having watched this and checked my posture for the last three weeks, I have found the tension in my neck, shoulders and lower back have disappeared, and running is so much more enjoyable. Thank you so much. Why don't they teach this in Phys Ed at school? I learnt so many bad habits back at school and hated sports as a result but now I am really enjoying it.

[@michaelhanson3150]

I'm not a beginner but this is an excellent video for beginners.

[@TheRunExperience]

Thanks, Michael! Glad you liked it.

[@john_mckinney]

Michael Hanson glad you approve

[@melissavelez2163]

I did your techniques in running for beginners and omg what a improvement it had done in my journey. Thank you I’m still not where I want to be but so much better than where I was before.

[@TheRunExperience]

Love it! That is awesome to hear :)

[@djeeee911]

She looks strong!

[@chloeanddiego]

This video is so thorough, and the teacher is so articulate in explaining everything to a beginner runner like me. What a pro. Thank you!! So happy I found this channel!

[@TheRunExperience]

So glad you found it helpful! Search "beginner" on the channel, and you'll find a bunch of other videos with drills, mobility, run workouts, etc. to help get you started!

[@BlueMoon-vf9lc]

Dude I've been looking everywhere for advice like this! I just began running about a month ago and every time I go out my hips start killing me almost instantly. I knew I had to have been doing SOMETHING wrong..definitely going to have to try this out on my run tonight! This video is very much appreciated! :)

[@lorenzoapodaca7363]

I have been a runner for over 40 years but after getting COVID and being away from running for long time I started having pain in my hips and knees due to a VERY BAD running form. This helped ALOT. Thank you. Had to re-learn and this helped, thank you.

[@bobmrkus3185]

I am not a beginner, but I find myself making form mistakes and this is excellent for fixing my mistakes!

[@00yutuber]

So turns out my form is shit...no wonder I’m not making any distance progress

[@africaart]

I use to think I was running faster only to see it at the exact time/distance as before. I would experiment on the new posture and hope it doesn't slow me down.

[@wannybashizi8965]

same here

[@vincet8876]

Man i dont know what to do next . I used to run with not such an ideal body poster . But with time I was improving my distance at a good rate . But then i thought of applying better running form and now my distance is all messed up . Then I even tried going back to MY normal . But i couldnt help but notice my form . Now I am running with good technique but very less distance . BTW its been only 4 days since I improved my technique . Will see how much time will it take to run same distance as before .

[@pollux_id2557]

Yea its the form that will get you in the beginning. Just keep working at proper form and it will come easier to you, and eventually as your body gets used to the new form/working different muscles, your running will become far more efficient and less sore.

[@UtkarshKothari]

I was not only able to do 2 km, but after I fixed my posture, started listening to music and did warm-ups, I am literrally doing 5 km in 35 minutes after a single week! Tysm!

[@laurahunter1690]

I'm just getting back into running after 7 years of sticking to lifting weights. This is by far THE best channel for running information. Your instructions are to the point & easy to follow. Thank you!

[@TheRunExperience]

Thanks for watching, Laura! :)

[@rogerolive7043]

Absolutely everything you've said in this video is worth 100% of my time. SO glad I found this channel. Thank you thank you 🙏🏃‍♂️

[@douglasbender1456]

These are good tips/reminders for experienced runners as well as beginners

[@CrisFrancisco]

I've been running marathons over 14 years and ultra marathons for 10+ years and this was still helpful for me. Thank you for all of your helpful, informative video content. I'm looking forward to seeing how this improves my running strength, form and results.

[@TheRunExperience]

Form and technique are something even the most experienced among us continue to work on over the years. It's amazing the difference small tweaks can have on our running!

[@CrisFrancisco]

@@TheRunExperience Right on. I've already turned some of my running friends to your channel. Your coaches all give clear explanations on a variety of subjects. In the right timing, I'm considering trying your Training Club. Big thanks and keep up the great work!

[@kilpatrickd]

As someone that was more of a sprinter in my younger age I'm having a hard time transitioning to a runner. My breathing is terrible, I can't find a good pace and I definitely have a forward lean when I run. I'm glad I found this channel. I hope to be able to put these tips into practice and see results.

[@MrRunner42]

Forward lean is good. It helps you use the force of gravity, as long as you lean from the ankles, in a full body lean.

[@pollux_id2557]

yea i was going to mention the lean as well. If you run ramrod straight, your back and shoulders are gonna hurt pretty bad the next day.

[@andrewphillips3973]

@@pollux_id2557 holding yourself straight, then yes.... the trick is to find upright and then relax with it... the body work in unison better for distance running with the body and head being directly above your mid sole foot strikes... a forward lean should only regularly be seen in sharp accelerations

[@redgar6467]

Great to rewatch this every few months. Thank.

[@sabrinammoore]

This makes so much sense I will be trying these techniques today!

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Great tips. Going to be paying more attention on my morning run.

[@leejordan6647]

Thanks...very informative and well spoken

[@seonjamie3059]

I'm weirdly pleased that I already was correcting myself in these things lmao. You really so notice a difference when you run properly, falling out of proper form is noticeable immediately for me because it makes the run suck immediately

[@MichaelIhde69]

I used to run in high school and hike a lot, but after graduating and my best friend who i would hike with moved away, I largely stopped running. i’ve only very recently got back into it, and this channel has been a big help for me. Thanks everyone!

[@y-squared]

Thanks for breaking it down so clearly and part by part. Love the application challenge at the end!

[@EstherMandeno]

Great advice! Thank you. Can't wait for my next run to try it all out. :)

[@camillarich]

So glad I found this channel right at the beginning of taking up running. I hope to run my first half marathon this coming fall. If I have good form to start with I hope to avoid the problems of adjusting it later. Going to have my husband video me this weekend so I can see what needs work not just what I think in my head.

[@timthomas3592]

Clear, organized, systematic look at physiological functions (hips, Shoulders,etc.)well thought out approach and simple experiments to observe to improve performance. Very skilled!! Thank you!

[@craigfamilymusic2728]

Your "somewhere between high knees and butt kicks" illustration helps a lot. I've been running since May of this year and have built up to 8 miles on my long run, but with bad form. Literally, I just started working on correcting my form this week. It's awkward right now and I might have to slow things down for the time being, but my knees and hips are already feeling better. Thanks for the video!

[@TheRunExperience]

Hi Alan! Great job on building up your endurance! You're right, though, that sometimes we have to slow down a bit to fix things and improve. We like to practice the drills in isolation at the start of the run, and then integrate them into the run.

[@craigfamilymusic2728]

Thanks! First "official" run this morning using the correct form. It was both easier and more difficult. Easier on my knees and hips. In fact, these didn't hurt at all. I felt noticeably lighter on my feet. But it felt unnatural and seemed aerobically harder. Maybe because I had gotten used to running incorrectly and need some time to adapt. Also, I may have exaggerated the knee lift which could have been harder on my quads. Anyway, I'll keep working on it until it clicks. Things at least seem to be heading in the right direction. :)

[@donnydeyzel]

Best form check video ive seen..thank you

Thank you for this. I’ve been running for quite some time but never put any work into my form. Now that I’m more serious about running, I know that I need to work on keeping my shoulders back more and picking my feet up sharper.

Great Running Lesson..Thank you!!!

[@MaryaPoweroftheHeart]

I love this video! I watched it yesterday before heading out for my run. My goal at this point is to just increase my distance, but after applying the body mechanics taught here, my speed improved as well--immediately! Last weekend I tortured myself for 12.75 miles and was very sore for several days afterwards; my average speed was 5.9 mph. Yesterday, I ran 14.25 miles easily and my average speed was 6.7 mph!!!!! I don't feel sore today at all. What a huge difference these simple changes have made. I'm just shy of 56 years old, and plan on running my first marathon at the end of April. Holly, I'll have you to thank when I cross that finish line---thank you!!!

[@TheRunExperience]

Marya! That is awesome. Please do keep me posted on your marathon. Thanks for watching :)

I really appreciate this breakdown. Some people may think that running comes natural for everyone, well this definitely isn’t the case for me.
