Now, the most important technique to learn would be : how can you sleep 8+ hours 😅. Even if I'm really tired, go to bed early, don't set an alarm, etc... I still end up waking up 6 or 7 hours later. Sometimes fully rested but more often not

Because that's what you've conditioned yourself to do, it'll take some time to undo it. I used to get like 6 hours tops cause that was just how my day went and thought well I guess that's all I need. But then after covid and work from home changed around a ton of how I did things, now I can easily get 8 to 9 or longer if I don't set my alarm. Went to bed a bit later, slept longer, messed up my sleep schedule a bunch in the progress, but then when it settled back down I could sleep way longer. Your mind loves consistency if you always wake up around the same time, go to bed the same time it'll be very hard to change that without breaking up the schedule a bit.

Coming from a weightlifting background into running I had to deal with the fact that I weighed more than must other runners and that made me more prone to some injuries. Dealing with plantar fasciitis while building a base was annoying but I was able to lower my intensity and keep running instead of completely stopping running(which is most of the advice I got). I made sure to pay close attention to my body to make sure I wasn't making my injuries worse and did exercises to strengthen the muscles around my foot. Now I'm pain free and easily running 40 miles per week. Thanks for your videos, they have given me a lot of knowledge to help manage my injuries and prevent any new ones from showing up!

I’m big myself, 6’3 270 pounds but it’s all about how your feet is hitting the ground and make sure you have the right shoes and make sure you get some custom insoles and it’s a game changer.

I think cross training also has a place along with strength training. Mountain biking is a great way to build strength with low impact while still improving vo2/threshold. I use it as cross training for my trail running. + it's really fun.

I truly admire your videos for their relatability. When I watch them, everything just clicks into place. Recently, I injured myself, and in hindsight, I realize I should have been more mindful of effective load management. Despite that sneaky feeling telling me otherwise, I pushed through during my last run, and now not running for a week. Your content and advice have been invaluable. Thank you!

Sleep is important, but interestingly MODERATE exercise actually makes up for some of what you lost from sleep deprivation, according to multiple studies cited by Hubeeman and Peter Atia. I can definitely attest that the best thing for me after a bad night of insomnia is a decent half hour jog. However, given the increased risk of injury and sickness during your infant induced sleep deprivation stage, I would caution against pushing yourself TOO hard. Keep it moderate and consistent.

I have a marathon in 4 days and i got achilles tendonitis during marathon buildup, it couldnt have come at worse time. Slowly treating it right now and still consider running the race but i dont think you realize how much this video helped me mentally in a place where im at right now. Not to even mention I had to find out on my own that stretching leads to even more problems, especially in the early stages of tendon injuries and actually strengthening muscles and tendons is the way to go. Thank you so much for the video.

This matches my experiences pretty accurately.. I've had three running-type injuries, one due to low strength, one due to acute fatigue built up over the course of a day, and one due to cutting my rest days down too rapidly. But they all end up being the same issue: doing things when the body lacks the strength to maintain safe and functional form. Whether because of a lack of preparation, or overexertion within a single session, or a lack of recovery between sessions, the injuries all happened because I tried to do more than my ankles/knee were able to handle safely. Bringing it back to the Pyramid, this means roughly 75% of staying healthy consists of knowing your limits and staying well below them.

completely agree. I started running a year ago and a good friend recommended I start gently and increase the load by 10%. I listened to him and ran up to 30 km without any injuries and I am very tall and heavy. I also sleep and recover a lot even my mind wants to run too much

Thank you for your work! Really helpful!

In my opinion the most important thing is aiming for perfect technique. So many runners I see are moving stiff and awkward. Combining this with to much load and orthopedic disaster is pre programmed. Good form and coordination are the heart of every sport. Technique Drills are the way to go for success. Check out the running drills of Chari Hawkins on KZread and you will see what perfect running technique looks like and how to train for it 😎👍

As a runner and physio from Poland I agree 100% good job educating people. 👏🏽🤙🏽

Really good video!

Great Video! Excellent info, I'm 49 and been running for probably 25 years somewhat consistently and it took me nearly 20 years to figure out that overtraining was dooming me to failure. Now at my age I'm extremely patient and slow in my progressions and haven't had an injury since(5+ years). I think I do feel better though when I do a few minute cool down and a little stretching after my running. If I just plop down on my couch after a run I tend to feel a bit more tight and sore in that evening and into the next day.

Regarding flexibility, if anyone is experiencing reoccurring pain points, I would recommend going to a running focused physiotherapist. I had continuous lower back pain. The physio analyzed my running technique, gave me pointers in form and a simple stretching routine tailored to my body. Following their advise, and slow load management, I’m currently sitting around 50km/week pain free.

Thank you this video, this is something most people don't want to address in this manner of what works and is important and what isn't so much. For posting the scientific study with the strength training portion vs just it's word of mouth. We need more of this with backed up proven proof documented vs just oh yeah do this and let me know in 4 weeks if it helps.

I’m surprised to see that you did not have running technique in the pyramid. I have in the past had quite a few injuries from over striding, One day I got a coach that focused on that and all the injuries slowly dissipated, I strongly agree to managing the workload, and I would say consistency in training plays a big role as well. Thank you for your great videos they are very helpful.

As someone who is about to transition from being injured back into (hopefully 🤞) being back into training, I found a lot of this video helpful! Thanks Goran! Keep up the good work! (Also what is the music you used in this video?)

Great video again Goran. Common sense prevails and every runner should know that there is someone out there just waiting to take your money because they will tell you that there product or service will help your running. Contrary to all of the marketing, what I have learnt over 6 decades is good, sleep, a balanced diet (without supplements) and realistic weekly mileage will make insure you don't get injured.

Since I started using foam rollers (2 difrent stifnes) plus easy excercises at home I'm injured free, I highly recommend it! Of course eating and sleeping + Load managmanet is also very important! I'm running c.a. 1500 - 2000 km per year. Great video btw!

Strength training has become really popular with the “lift heavy and run” hybrid athlete stuff. Ended up with a back injury and now I focus on lighter weight higher rep stuff.

Fantastic channel Gøran. This video was especially relevant for me now. If you have some experience with it - I would love to hear more of your perspective on orthopedic insoles, speciality shoes or regular running shoes with pronation support (for people with flat feet). Are there any scientific evidence they actually work, or would it for most people be sufficient to focus on the elements you mention in this video...

Great vid as always. I have definitely learned a lot from your experience. Can you link the papers you mentioned in this video please?

Great video again, Göran! Would you please make a video about your Morton’s neuroma?

I'm dealing with hamstring tendinopathy at the moment and had foot and calf issues a year ago. I can definitely say that load management and a lack of strength training have been issues for me. I'm trying to fix that now and cross training to try to maintain fitness. A bit more sleep could probably help, too 😂.

I fully agree, flexibility does not contribute to injury prevention. There are lots of other benefits but You should do it only after a run. If you really want to warm up it should be mobile not static exercises. I’m running everyday so keeping pace low first kilometres should do the warmup for you. It all comes down to load diet and sleep.

I love instructional videos that use the word "evidence" 👍

Intressant och viktigt. Personligen så skulle jag göra ett venndiagram med orden "träningsbelastning", "sömn och återhämtning (inkl föda)" och "flexibilitet och styrka". Har en annan klocka som jag tycker är helt fantastisk i att visa mig belastning och återhämtning. Verkligen ett hjälpmedel. HRV är speciellt nyttigt för att kortsiktigt anpassa träningsbelastning och återhämtning. Mvh, Mats - löpare sedan 1988

A most excellent video 👍🏻💪🏻😎

Great video, load management is probably my biggest weakness as well. Thanks for reminding me to pay more attention to it :) What do you think about running form, in terms of injury prevention? Do you think its a good idea to go to a running coach for an analysis?

Thanks, great video! You mentioned taping to prevent ankle injuries.. I have a severe overpronation which is not ideal for running (achilles tendinitis etc.).. Do you think it might be a good idea to tape ankles before running to prevent injuries?

For me it has been very important to stretch after every run to prevent all sorts of pain in my legs. My situation is that I went from barely exercising to running regularly, and my flexibility was really poor. I recently tried not stretching after some runs, about 8 months after I started running, and it still caused me issues.

I manage to get by on less than 8 hours and remain injury free. Load management helps with this ! 😊

You're right. I started a 10k Training and forgot about strengh Training and for a week I had foot pain at the end of every run. It's getting better now after working out and Yoga. 😀 What do you think about using a foam roller?

Very stoical I like it.

good video

I've been struggeling with IT band syndrom for the last 4 years and just recently I started focusing on strength training and load management. Not sure if it will help me stay injury free from now on but hoping for the best. Thanks for the video supporting us clueless NPCs haha

I had 2 injuries within the first 3 years of running. One after 4 months, and one after 9 months. Haven’t had one in around a year now!

From my own experience, injuries are mostly self inflicted. Often, my injuries occur when I’m feeling really good, because I end up doing more than I can recover from

How long did you take to recover from your injured foot? My tibialis posterior tendon on the left foot has been aching, so I'm not running at the moment

You are missing a major part and that's technique and ankle strength would be very important in my opinion.

Load management is sure important. Wonder how this devise is different from stryd pod.

Goran, I have a quad pain that wont go away for 6 months! Ive tried running, not running (its fine as long as I’m not running, but as soon as I try again it hurts AFTER the run). Physiotherapist did an Ultrasound and thinks its a hematoma and suggests massage to break the hematoma and lymphic drainage to get rid of the debree. My question is, why this happened in the first place and hou to make sure it won’t happen again? Also, do you agree with recommended therapy and can I continue running while doing it?

Heavy resistance training is one of the number one ways you can prevent injury. Too many runners. Think you get better at running by just running, but that's just not the case. You have to slowly build your body to become more durable through running more volume, and resistance training to build more muscle to support your running.

There are actually only two ways for humans to move: sprinting and walking. If you jog you fuse the worst of both worlds. Thats why many people get hurt, because it is a stupid way of training.
