Completely agree with the first one. I can't believe how many people don't. Personally I spend 20 minutes before I go out for a run doing hip activation/mobilization and light stretching. Then when I get out to my course, I do another 20 minutes fast walking, butt kicks, knee lifts (2x variations), then 3x easy runs of about 250-300 meters each. Then I get into my run.

The phycology of running is amazing. If I set my mind to do 10 or 15 miles usually it's no problem because I've made a mental commitment. If I do 5 miles and then run a few more miles because I missed the bus or whatever then it's a real struggle. The takeaway for me is therefore to plan each run and stay within your limits, making that commitment usually bears fruit.

I wish I only knew one thing - the importance of building proper leg and core strength before actually trying to run. Unfortunately nobody talks about this, but to me it was a game changer, especially since I am in my 50s and lost a lot of strengths through decades of office lifestyle. Trying to run on weak legs was never satisfying, but after I spent several month building strength in muscles and joints instead of actually running, running now feels almost like flying.

I'm not sure why this happens but warming up & doing running "drills" to reinforce good form & use of all your muscles has helped me! Proper warm up can eventually alleviate the pain. ALSO, shoes play a huge role in your form & imbalances so be aware of what type of shoes suits you best.

After you got started with running with your first pair of shoes, get a second pair of shoes from a different manufacturer. Always have at least two pairs of shoes from different brands. Wear them alternating. This distributes and thus lessens stress on your body. Clothing: If you go out and feel just a little bit cold you are dressed appropriate. GoreTex Wind Stopper shirts where a game changer for me. Phenomenal in temperature regulation. Especially I don't get cold when I am quite sweaty at the end of a run.

Great video! I HATE being cold, but the advice 'dress for the second mile' really helped me dress properly. The biggest thing that helped my running was SLOW DOWN! Running was always done as fast as I could sustain, and as a result, I'd often need to hit my asthma inhaler, and the following day be so sore or ouchy that I could only run every other day. I slowed down, tripled my distance, doubled my runs per week, and only need my inhaler on race days! Sorry, one more... choose a challenging goal that excites you.

It will also give the shoe foam a little more time to decompress and help be a little fresher for the next run (and help extend the life of the shoe). I struggled with shin splints in the past and I’ve never had issues with that while rotating shoes.

I’m far from an experienced runner but my top tip would be: play the right music. It makes such a massive difference! Find playlists that you like listening to, that feature energetic or motivational songs. It’ll keep you distracted and encourage you to move faster. Make sure to switch between playlists too.

Warm up is so important. I never used to as I'd read it could affect the run/cause injury. My knees started hurting so I simultaneously strengthened the muscle surrounding the knee and stretched all my muscles. No knee pain!

Just subscribed. A year ago I started jogging, at first I could do 50 yards and had to stop. I kept going out, now I can run for 90 mins, stop start, and cover 8 miles. My shoes are terrible, I have no running gear just old footy shorts, cotton T shirts and tennis socks. I'm 66, and when I was 13 I won the school cross country for my year. I've lost 15 kgms in the last 12 months. 2 more kgms to go I'm off to town now to see if I can get a decent pair of running shoes, and some running gear. My aim is to do next year's Hastings half marathon, and get an intermediate time for the 5k. Your 5 tips really made sense to me, like the warm up, I never do it I just start running. Etc, etc. So thanks...I'm enjoying the journey.

I just learned about the 80/20 training. You referred to starting and perhaps training at a low intensity. It was nice two hear two different opinions about this within a week.

Any training will work for a recreational runner. The 80/20 was based on elite runners but the data was poorly understood - ie, it's not correct. (Eg, fit the model, a speed day would count the whole session, when in reality only a small fraction of that will be quality work)

Glide when you run. It reduces the impact on your legs and knees. Fatigue doesn’t set in as fast and you build stamina.

Some great tips. When just starting out, a running buddy is also a very useful tip. Always that little bit more enjoyable sharing the experience with a friend.

OMG, I've been running for 20 years and didn't know some of this stuff. I've been struggeling with not putting on too much. I am always so hot. This tip about adding 10 degrees is gold. Thank you!

Learn to drink while running early on! It will help when you start to run longer runs. I only started to bring drinks when I managed to run 1 hour + runs and it always gave me cramps

Good to hear you figured it out :)

My #1 tip is form. Make sure you're running correctly. It can make an enormous difference in you pace, endurance, confidence, and keep you injury free. Plus, the more I pay attention to my form, the less time I'm thinking about fatigue or other negative thoughts. Concentrating on your form can be meditative and clear your mind of everything else, and, once you get to know your body and how It runs better,, you can adjust your muscle groups that you're using to increase your distance, or your stride, or your cadence. You can also avoid many different types of injuries by ensuring your form is as natural yet efficient as possible.

I'm a beginner runner and am happy to read this post. I figured the best time to learn good habits was at the beginning and have spent all my runs trying to focus on various form cues, my breathing, and staying relaxed. That's like 2/3rds of meditation already and that's part of what I am loving about running is learning how meditative it can be. The day I tried listening to music was my worst day of running because I couldn't stay focused, I kept getting distracting, my form and breathing were off, and I wore myself out. I'm still getting my legs under me, but I've already felt glimpses of running becoming more automatic and natural.

I'm so glad I watched this video!! Even my easy runs had my heartrate up to 90% of my max. I will be trying to accumulate most of my volume at 75% from now on.

BIG THANKS 2 Marc!!! I was told to use those silly toe running shoes for beginning for they train the right stride, strike and foot placements. Not sure as I always fall off the exercise horse due to house projects, college, kids & work

My tip is you can run whatever you want. You just have to believe you can. You are not tired, it doesnt matter you didnt sleep or ate well, this right here cam be the fastest,longest and best run of your life.

I wish it were true. When you train it is important to be consistent and therefore you need to be able to recover and stay motivated. Trying too much or pushing too hard is bad because you perform lesser over the week because of recovery time... So for overal performance just find a right amount which suits your level. Not more, not less. In conclusion: don't exhaust yourself needlessly, unless it is in a competitive setting or a marathon.

If something hurts while running, stop running and dont try to finish it. Walk back home slowly or it gets worse. Its something i learned the not so pleasant way.

I’ve been running for 2 months now and I’ve been doing quite good. My furthest is 8 miles in 1 hour and I enjoy it, I get to listen to music and exercise.

If your a larger individual or have chafing - ultrathin hydrocolliod dressings/plasters are a life saver. Plasters that are like a second skin allow your skin to heal while you exercise by acting as a barrier reducing most friction and rubbing it feels like skin is intact, otherwise you would be spending days off exercising while skin heals or deal with extreme discomfort and bleeding they enable you to do both. While seemless moisturewick synthetic underwear helps to prevent chaffing in first place. Also control and monitor your breathing, if your breathing more than every 2 seconds chances are your hyperventilating.

moisture-wicking spandex pants or long shorts + corn starch. Gold Bond’s Friction Defense. There is tons of anti chafing products but I suggest cornstarch base because your trying to wick away moisture.

All of this is so effing relatable. The pace, so true. Thumbs up from this runner, who 5 years ago was a beginner as well.

I've been running for 15 years and your tips are bang on! One additional tip I have is at about 15 degrees Celsius I’ll ware shorts and a t-shirt but also take a pair of gloves to keep my fingers warm.

Most important to my running is not to focus on all aspects of form at the same time. Some may disagree with this, but to try and get things like posture, pace, and breath consistently right at the beginning can be frustrating. Spend some time getting used to the idea of running and just feeling the motions before you start with technical details.

Definitely get the right shoe! Gait analysis and a bit of professional insight before blind purchasing (also don’t buy a shoe just because someone else says so)

Great tips! I've tried running so many times, and always hit the wall with it. I've realized the problem has been the speed. I've run way too fast! I just started again with low HR training. I'm only at the beginning, but I already feel all the difference. I'm just worried about the winter, since it's already autumn. Slippery and snowy weather seems to stop my running every time.

Hi Marc, your advice is very helpful. Thank you so much:)

Learning to run slowly was a real game changer for me. Took around 1 year for me to figure that one out, I was pretty fit as well as I was doing lots of boxing.

I strongly encourage weight lifting before running, particularly exercises aimed at your arches, calves/Achilles, and glutes. Especially the latter two. I am a 4:47 miler and those are the areas I have had the most injury throughout the years. Don't worry about getting super big because you probably won't. The strength in your legs may not be equal to your cardio fitness level, so I strongly encourage weight training especially before high volume.

I am VERY new to running lol it's always been a goal of mine to do a 5k! I ran one mile all the way through yesterday and I am so excited! I can't wait to be able to do more so here I am looking for all the tips. These were great and I will def incorporate them!

Marcs Top Five tips: 1. warm up before your run - get some movement and activate your muscles 2. correct shoe size! - best go to your local shoeshop and get professional advice. Watch 2:03 for Marc’s personal tips. 3. Slow not fast. - don’t run too quickly and don’t get started to fast. 3:35 4. data is your friend - record your runs (with apps) f.e. to monitor your progress and feel proud of your achievements. 5. correct clothing - not too much, not too little. Get a few functional clothes. 6:03 ** You’re looking at a interesting Video and would love to take notes? Check my Favorites and find the most important points of the video summarized in my comment.

Ski goggles work great when it's snowing and under zero degrees Fahrenheit!

My biggest struggle as a running beginner is not going too hard to early. I'm in good shape due to other exercise routines that I had before I started running, so the impulse to go all out and do 45 minutes of non-stop running at full speed is very strong. But I know that running is hard on the joints, hard on the body, and I have to get my body used to that, it doesn't matter if I can run full speed ahead, I shouldn't do it. Last time I did that I got injured, and I don't want that to happen again this time around.

Cool stuff Marc! I got my first running shoes at my normal shoe size 11, and ended up returning them. Too much room int he toe box. I swapped them out for 10.5 and I am much happier with them. Do feet really expand that much while we run? I film trail runs in National Parks and I find that more fitted shoes give me better stability. I feel odd with too much room in the toe box.

@runningwithmarc

3 жыл бұрын

Well roughly speaking they expand, do a little home experiment and measure them against the wall in the morning when you wake up... then go out and run and walk around like you would do in a day, then measure again. Sounds super fun what you are doing!!! In which country, or many? I remember having some Altra Lone Peak's and on the trails they were too wide for me, and my foot would move around too much, so not nice. a good mid foot lock is essential so the foot doesn't twist or slide around.

This is my tip....Dont let the internet mess around with your brain.

I recently found out that after running for 15-20 mins straight, running then becomes rather easy, as in, I feel like I am not getting exhausted and I feel as if I am regenerating energy as I am running, as oppose to slowing down, potentially walking. I think breathing is also very important!
