[@scorpleeon]

I have an old hip injury from childhood so my hips aren’t balanced, I really try the cue run from the hips but have found the glute/ham cue as useful esp as I fatigue. Tks!

[@Saiarts_yt]

It helps to change surface over time. Also its okay to take sequential walking breaks if needed. Other wise sprint or make your runs more faster.

[@ioanat6413]

Yeees, I am almost mastering the string attached to my head and I am now focusig on running on a lava floor haha great tips, thank you, guys 🥰

[@AjayTiwari-ik7kd]

Mk look poor pool 😴😤😤😤

[@pdonj7228]

what not to do - hold a dumb selfie stick in front of your face like a ****

[@tastefullychaotic2060]

I was listening a podcast while running and one of the people said something along the lines of "I don't train, I go to nature" and it has honestly changed my perspective on running. I've stopped comparing my runs and getting annoyed if I did worse than the day before and now I just run to breathe fresh air and be in nature. Has done wonders for my mental health and my times have improved!

[@oyana1122]

This will work wonders for me. Thank you very much.

[@marshhen]

I absolutely agree. I am so much happier when I run in wooden trails that I just enjoy myself and try to run for a set time. They are often quite fast, because I am so much more relaxed.

[@RicardoZambrana]

Can you share what that podcast was?

[@katykatekatecooper7284]

That's such a lovely way to think about it. Fantastic

[@hercules71185]

Competition induces testosterone which is essential for both sexes. I agree we need to cherish the world and that's my favorite part. I train so I can spend a hike or jog in nature and just absorb it without thinking about my breath and which hill is next

[@adityaschavan]

The only thing I think about when running is "GOOD GOD WHEN WILL THIS END"

[@runningchannel]

😂😂😂

[@Maxyshadow]

Ha ha ha ha!

[@hannahmorgan7213]

And then when you get home, "That was the most amazing thing I have ever done i am king/queen of the world nothing can stop me now marathon here i come!" Yeah that's definitely not me every single time I run😆

[@elvirasmajlovic4438]

Me too 🤣🤣

[@tanjiro9589]

Yeah IKR

[@SimonBrown]

Kudos to the editor of this video. I’ve never seen a vid of continuous running and commentary, thanks all. Brilliant.

[@arielleleverett1377]

I'm a big music person when I run. I take great pride in my spotify playlists. It pumps me up and sometimes I'll legitimately start dancing when I'm having a good time (probably to the glee of random cars passing by).

[@razor5cl]

This is me too! Even outside of running I almost always have music playing, but on a run I'll choose an album and just get out there and enjoy it! Also had a good few runs where I'll be a bit tired but then a good song will hit and I'll somehow find a way to get through it!

[@myjulo]

Yes, music can me make so happy while running! Would love to check out your playlist if you are comfortable to share!

[@arielleleverett1377]

Sure! I'll give my favs that are long enough for a half marathon. The first one is primarily cartoons! open.spotify.com/playlist/4nMNXaOA0CKffRt9SNbmRs?si=bvtZowcaRI-LWcrsDXQlyw open.spotify.com/playlist/4nMNXaOA0CKffRt9SNbmRs?si=Gj-aR3EkSHio8ZcfNIEJrQ

[@josephmichael4188]

I'm a big 'dancing runner' too! I might look like an idiot but the way I see it, if I'm running fast enough I'll be gone before I can get embarrassed!

[@LiveHardxLoveHard]

This year I discovered my new favorite type of run - the gratitude run. Each mile of the run (no matter what distance!) I choose a different focus for my gratitude. One mile I may be giving thanks for a beautiful sunrise and the next I may be appreciating the beauty of the run itself. It's been amazing in helping my mindset in dealing with injuries and pain - and has helped immensely in letting go of disappointment around certain tempo runs or qualifying race times. Us runners can be so hard on ourselves, and mindset can be everything!!

[@runningchannel]

That's such a wonderfully positive mindset! Thank you for sharing :-)

[@kevinlance1813]

Me too! I read about the gratitude mile in Runner's World a couple years ago and it really works. Yay!

[@LiveHardxLoveHard]

@@kevinlance1813 Oh that's awesome Kevin. I should try to find that article. It totally makes the miles fly by!

[@tsoiboy4073]

Love that. I find myself thanking the cosmos at the end of my runs, a habit which began after a long injury lay-off.

[@brucehammond4230]

I really hope your channel continues to grow in subscriptions, and thrives long term. I think you all are such nice people.

[@runningchannel]

Thank you so much!

[@kevinlance1813]

That goes double for me.

[@lesleyzimmerman5114]

Hi everyone. I enjoy seeing all of you. I'm a new runner so I appreciate all the help you give me. Thank you

[@runningchannel]

Welcome Lesley and thank you! Keep running!

[@scorpleeon]

My first run in the dark early this morning and it was so peaceful.

[@roahboah]

I use a lot of these tips and have done for a long time. One additional tip I picked up a long time ago was to smile if you're running hard and feel your shoulders/upper body tightening up or clenching. For some reason, it tends to help keep the shoulders loose - or at least it does for me :-)

[@runningchannel]

That's a great tip Roah - thank you!

[@mossy8388]

Definitely! Even a fake smile seems to help when it’s really hurting.

[@AdvancedLiving]

You can tell that Andy and Manny have newer GoPro’s. The image stabilization is that much better. Another great vid, y’all!

[@TheBeardedBoofhead]

Advanced Living yeah good spot!

[@kevinlance1813]

Plus they both have super smooth form. I envy that.

[@InappropriateCasualRunner]

I love all these tips and I’m constantly working on a number of them. I will say Anna, that analogy of running on puppy dog tails made me think I guess I would have to learn how to levitate if I were in that horrible situation. 😂😂

[@NorthEastTrailRunner]

My three tips: 1. Do an effort session, a hill session, and easy recovery run and a long steady run each week. 2. Join a club. All good running clubs cater for all abilities. It gives you people to run with and they have a good social scene. 3. Always stretch after a run. It helps to prevent stiff legs.

[@sojournern]

Good to know you folks across the pond are working to inspire us. I appreciate it!

[@karengumm2398]

Great video everyone, with great tips! I especially like the “Enjoy your run” tip. Sometimes I get hung up on my pace instead of enjoying the beauty around me. I need to keep my runs in perspective and remember that I’m blessed to be able to do these runs!

[@meaganpickney]

Great video! I love seeing all the different routes each takes on their run, and will try out these tips. Thanks!

[@raghavmruthuanjaya]

I've seen videos that drag out content for the sake of revenue but you guys have a vast amount of information in very less time. It really shows you guys do it for your love for running than making money

[@reieli87]

Great content as always. i enjoyed the whole team taking part in the video. Well edited and informative. Tip 12 suggestion - rewatch this video multiple times for motivation and slowly practice each point that works for you. 😊🤙

[@grahamhowes3912]

Hey guys! Thank for the excellent video once again! I believe in cadence all the way, since I started focusing on cadence I've improved from around 150-160spm to between 180-190spm and, as a result, I managed to drop my half marathon time by over half an hour and my 10k dropped by almost 11 minutes. All in the same calendar year. I had to change my foot strike to forefoot striking, as it's tough to maintain high cadence on longer runs when you're midfoot or heel striking. That took some getting used to (and constantly screaming calves!) but in the end, the gains were well worth it...

[@patrickharrison1212]

The 3 reasons I watch the running channel: 1. I enjoy running and want to maximise my enjoyment. 2. I fancy Anna. Oh sorry I got distracted Anna appeared on my screen. What was I saying?

[@gwenhartstein8470]

I'm going to start using some of this tips when I run. During my runs, I listen to music from the 90's and early 2000's club/house mixes (Cher, P!nk, La Bouche, etc.). For motivation, I keep in mind why I started running and how awesome it will be to achieve my goals.

[@jimmythefish365]

Great video guys - so many excellent points, I've had to stop it and go back so often to really take it in - thank you

[@lucinachavez4771]

I loved the tips and you really make a terrific team. Am training for the virtual NYC Marathon and really appreciated either confirming some things I do and being made aware of newer ways of doing something. One that really stood out was posture, my ballet instructor reminds me of the EXACT tips you gave while running: hips up, head held by a string and shoulder blades tight. Tips I share: having come of age in the 80's that's the music I pull from when needing the most push, I visualize dancing back in the day, and check out for a few miles on runs longer than 13 miles, and #2 is though not a tremendously religious person I do pray and connect with spirituality during long runs and thank it for the health, physical ability and clean and safe environment I have to cast a run. I am equally thankful for all running communities, such as yours, and the means available to reach you. I will support continue to support your endeavors!

[@Kelly_Ben]

Loved this mash up style of video! The hips up and forward was a game changer for me, as well as the 'pulling the ground' with my feet when doing intervals.

[@qwerty999iiii]

I've been doing your two full-body workouts once a week all the way through lockdown and continue to do so. My strength has improved hugely which has helped me shake off my knee niggles! Thanks guys ❤️

[@runningchannel]

Great to hear!

[@denbriggs82]

Thanks guys great video as always

[@deanlewis2855]

Great ideas and information! Thank you

[@TheHutchRuns]

Great video guys, some really important tips there, thank you!

[@philipthjme7827]

Probably one of the coolest video you guys have. Keep it up!

[@belgian_groenendael]

Lots of great tips there. Very useful!

[@kevinlance1813]

Great video gang! I'm finding that I'm having to refocus myself during runs on a lot of things now that I'm running again after my injury this summer. Thanks for the tips on running form, and diaphramic breathing, both of which are proving to be quite difficult now that I'm trying to regain my fitness level.

[@marshhen]

I will absolutely try some of these on today's run. This is such a helpful channel to a beginner. I am particularly going to pay attention to the tip about breathing from the diaphram rather than shallowly. That and my cadence. Will be interesting to count that. Your channel is helping me speed up and avoid injury. Thank you

[@uptone12111]

Nicely done.Thanks-working on the form

[@garyboyle4066]

I've use all your tips and watched a lot of your videos from I started running in January and I've run 4 half marathons and done my first official half marathon on Saturday and really enjoy your KZbin channel so keep up the good work

[@runningchannel]

Thanks so much Gary! And well done! Keep running :-)

[@lauradryden]

Breathing and Heart rate are something i really need to work on most, great advice, will bear them in mind!

[@almckinnon1753]

What a fantastic video, bet that took a while to put together 👍. I try to do most of that but my cadence is the one thing I know needs to be honed in as I stride out too far.

[@tsider7]

Great video. Thanks

[@kymberleerogie4298]

Great tips! I just started getting back into running! (Granted I was never that into running) but I’m really hoping it just helps clear my head after stressful days. Definitely going to try and use some of these tips to improve my running!

[@ariesphenix1]

Thank you! I love your energy and enthusiasm.

[@lazaro19lloyd]

Much needed advise!

[@ianshand9155]

Wow, really creative way of doing a video :) Thanks for all the useful information in your videos!

Thanks for the tips and hoping this might help during this hard times on pandemic.

[@firerunner5224]

I am new to this channel and I love the advice!

[@lisinbondi1240]

Great suggestions and I do try and include a few. Focusing on posture at the end of a long run when you are tired helps me get through those last few Kms helps Few more to try now

[@nathanvanniekerk2621]

Thank you so much to the crew from the running channel. Your videos always help me improve my running and this video had really helped me keep a constant pace during my 15km run yesterday . Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you ! Keep doing what you’re doing as I am sure that I am not the only runner who benefits from the knowledge from The Running Channel❤️

[@runningchannel]

Our pleasure Nathan and well done to you! 😊

[@sophgriffiths]

Loved seeing all the scenery in this video

[@walneyphotog]

Great tips. If nothing else, it has inspired me to try some on my next run.

[@lakshmi430]

I needed this today .. motivation

[@katykatekatecooper7284]

Fantastic tips and I've taken all of these tips on board but they have all helped me quite a lot. It's quite easy to want to slump a little when we're tired but I've tried opening up my chest a little more and does steady my breathing and allow me to go for longer. Thanks guys

[@8026480]

Awesome stuff again guys!

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheMousePT]

Hey! Hi just made trough my first half marathon last week in Lisbon and I took some of your advices to the run. I really enjoy running and your videos helped me a lot, thanks for doing them!

The advice about mindfulness whilst running is something I have never come across before. I think you have covered all basis and the different topics you have covered are excellent pointers for the recreational as well as the competitive runner. Not mutually exclusive. Absolutely love your channel for giving invaluable tips and advice to each person who may have a different reason for running. Brilliant channel. Thanks 🙏🏻 ❤️

[@runningchannel]

Glad you've found it helpful 😊. And stay tuned because we've got a video about meditation and running coming your way this weekend!

[@helengodber3178]

I have a different play list for my different runs really helps with sticking to my speed efforts

[@edwardprosser4219]

I love running to music! I've been working on picking up my cadence to consistently around 180. "Tusk" is one of my all time favs for this."Running Down a Dream" is a good one too.

[@GrooveyBobby]

Great tips thank you, sometimes I need to think about these things so I stop falling into bad habits or getting lazy with form 💕😊🐶

[@runningchannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kishanmahmud1008]

Honestly, the best video ever

[@NachoDog3]

I love your channel. I always learn things about this new hobby and the information is very helpful. The section about cadence made me think about my time in the military. Have any of you tried running in a group and shouting out a cadence? Normally, whoever was leading P.T. would lead the cadence. They would shout something and the group would shout it back. I always found this a motivating way to keep going. I miss hearing them. Some of them were funny, some were even raunchy LOL I don't reckon they would have to be a military theme. You can do it with lines from a song. Cheers!

[@RunningGazelle]

Thank you for the video. Very helpful. It would have been great to have demonstrations of the technique , posture etc or even a picture of bad/good technique or posture. Thanks

[@PZJBimha]

@@runningchannel I follow the ‘before’ and ‘after each run’ videos every time I go out, makes a huge difference. Thanks.

[@AT-zr9tv]

The format was very entertaining and the content simple and useable. Thanks! I think you could have also said to listen to the sound your feet make on the ground. It's a great indicator of stomping = wasted energy.

Soooo impressed with your teamwork video!!! Soooo clever and inspiring …. Wish me luck I’m 54 and haven’t run since my 30s … where did the time go?? Thanks guys xxxx

Really enjoy watching you guys, great team work.. Am a runner myself have benefitted from your work over a period of time. I remember your tips during my run, so a big Thumbs UP :). Can you make a video on foot pronation or the right kind of pronation to have an injury free long term running. I have a high outward pronation in the mid foot. Normally my shoes get worn of outward around 500kms, and i do road running mostly. I have a good arched foot. Is it good/ bad? Should i change ? Any tips to change?

[@Boost00130]

I do the same, except I remind myself to keep my hips forward

[@eribronk6559]

Try engaging your core outside of running too. Going to grab sth from the fridge? Check how your core is doing on the way there ;) If you start doing it as anytime routine it'll be easier to remember to do it when running as well. (edited - spelling)

Again, thanks for the great advice and tips. There’s only one thing, I can’t kick my legs up at the back of me like I used to. Maybe to start with but as I get tired they tend to be straighter, which I think increases my cadence. The joys of getting old.🏃🏻‍♂️

[@Steeplejackist]

Great Vid guys with super helpful tips. Never quite get cadence as i run at 180 and still cannot get below 27 mins for 5 k.
