Thanks for the great insight. From watching your vids, I've begun to get more into trail running. Thankful there's a park near me, about 3 miles away, with some really nice and hilly hiking trails (which I typically take my dogs out there hiking with me). Have been going out there every few days the past 2 weeks to run those trails. I've still yet to be able to run non-stop up the over 420 feet of continuous climbing, starting from the low end of one side of the park to the high end on the other side of the park. And there are multiple trails from one end up to the other end. But I am determined to get there and be able to run those trails going up. Keep on rockin'! 🤘
I've come to learn: We either eat for pleasure. Or we eat for function. Having done the former for so long, I switched over to the latter. My personal motto is: Train hard. Train right. Train smart. Eat right. Rest right. Get results. Keep on rockin'! 🤘
How often would you repeat the one mile test or better said when is the time for a repeat of the test? Do you go by feel or is there more of a regular time frame?
Such a beautiful and gnarly trail. 🤘
@@harryv6752 thanks for all your views and glad you enjoy. Keep going and look for new videos later this summer and fall.
You're welcome. And thank you, for the great content and info, and for imparting your knowledge and wisdom on the art of running to the rest of us, especially to folks like me who are really just stating out on our running journey. Your content has been invaluable to me in learning how to train for running, how to run, how to run properly with minimal to no injury, and how to get better and push further. I'm definitely looking forward to your future content while also going thru your past and current content. Keep on rockin'! 🤘
Starting my summer Saturday morning off with your 'tips n tricks' on training before my morning run. Great commentary, as always. Keep on rockin'! 🤘
Awesome dad. Respect! Keep on rockin'! 🤘
Beautiful scenery there. That's a gnarly trail too. Thanks for the great tips. 🤘
I've flat feet and made the full switch to wide toe box zero drop barefoot shoes about 4 months ago. Have been doing everything in these shoes, training, walking with my dogs, hiking, rucking, and running. Though, my feet and ankles have definitely gotten stronger and more resilient, they are still lacking. So, just this week, I pulled out my wobble board from the storage bin and started using it again. Have been doing 9 sets of 30sec balancing with 30sec rest in-between. First 3 sets are both feet on the board. Second 3 sets are with one foot. And last 3 sets are with the other foot. Feet and ankles up to the legs are getting sore again from working on the wobble board, but it feels great. Hadn't thought of going up on the forefoot but will incorporate that as well. Thanks!
great needed info
💯 ♥️ 🔥 🤘
So pweety out there
I've been binge watching a bunch of your vids these past few days to learn how to run better and to up my running game. Caught the Rich Roll podcast with you and Chris McDougall, which was an awesome episode, btw. I picked back up running a couple months ago (been so long since I've done any running) and have been going on runs every morning for the past 2 weeks, around the neighborhood (1.5-2 miles) before my morning workouts. Your running tips, recommendations, and instructions have been invaluable. Thank you.
@@harryv6752 this made my day, keep running strong!!
Haven't seen a vid from you in 3 months. Have you stopped making them or you're just on a break? I miss your videos 😢
Thanks for asking. Just on a summer hiatus. My daughter is off to college in the Fall, so just enjoying summer and some family time. AND. might come back with a new format/style. Hope you are running strong.
Hi Eric! I'm on week ten of the Born2Run 2 program and I was going very well until I started experiencing medial knee pain (left leg only) at the end of my sessions but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It happens after I finish my runs when squatting. It usually goes away within 10-15 min but the first few squats though not sharp can be bit uncomfortable. I think I've improved my form and strength a lot so I'm lost with this one and I don't want to keep brewing anything. I have no MCL or meniscus tears that I know of either. Can you give me some ideas to work on? Thank you!
@@80lives probably tight quads from squating that is pulling on the knee, causing poor tracking that is causing the discomfort. Follow the Runners Knee protocol in the book to knock this out.
@@BornToRunCoach Thanks Eric! I will give it a try. I thought the runner's knee protocol was for pain located on top of the knee and not on the inner side where femur and tibia join, that's why I didn't suspect it was that. I'll try the remedies. Thank you!
Do you pay any attention to your HR when doing these "easy" climbs?
Misleading title. Several minutes of talking but not one practical demonstration of how strengthen feet!
Yup, this one video made me rethink everything I am doing on KZread and why so many are so enthralled with clickbait content and the quick, free hack.
No, don’t let your heel touch the ground
Maybe if sprinting, but for endurance, especially over 50-100 miles, not many have the strength to keep the heel elevated.
I run to improve my cycling, which improves my running,
can u show how this looks on a steeper slope
Are you serious?
@@BornToRunCoach yeah i thought the slope where you recorded side views was pretty flat , maybe something twice as steep?
btw love your videos, do you have advice for running in high heat
This rings true having run my best 5k accidentally after a 50k training block, and feeling so excited, accidentally running my best 10k the next day - I would’ve never imagined this possible, but it speaks to the theme of this video!
Love this thanks for sharing!
Awesome tips, scary wardrobe 😂
this man likes running more than anyone
do you have a jumping workout video for trail runners
It so happens that my stride length at 175 steps per minute is 66 Cms ( about 2 feet) - BUT at that cadence and stride length I am a very slow runner.
I'm so tired of the altra superior... I'm thinking about moving to xero
Brilliant - thanks Eric! Been having increasing pain in my achilles as I've ramped up the running this past year and your video is the first thing that's directed me straight to my apparently really tight calf muscles - oof! Great advice, thank you!
Yes, Achilles issues usually begin at the calf. And see my video on tight calves to maybe detect the source of the problem.
69 year old runner in bakersfield Calif. Any advice on stride? Thanks! inspired by your videos.
Can i run an ultra marathon in these or will my feet get beat up from low padding? What do you recommend?
true torture
I don't over stride, not everyone does.
i thought u were going to give us some runs so we can decide our own zones
Super helpful!!
Nice explanation :)
The Xero Shoes are not wide enough for my flappers! I ended up getting their sandal and are running in that. I had a navicular stress fracture 6 months ago and it wasn’t until then I realized how much regular running shoes had weakened my feet. I had not paid attention to it for years because the regular running shoes masked all that. Finally getting stronger again but my shins are still taking a beating in the sandals. Your videos have helped immensely and by far the best running coach videos out there! And I love the nature views, one of the reasons I love my runs. Thanks Eric!
Great advice and will put these tips into practice!
whew glad i found this! super helpful. i've been eyeing a course (marathon) for next year in Utah that starts at 5500 and decends to 4500...and as a South-easterner/flat-lander from a super hot, humid climate, i've been researching ways to work out the altitude/elevation difference.. I know that the downhill will help a bit but i need to really train my legs for that. Fortunately i do have levees close by that i utilize for my "hill training" that are on the steep side. Sounds like i'm going to need to hit those hard during my training block. Also continuing to build overall strength and tweak my nutrition, as i know both were lacking in my first two marathons. Would you recommend swimming? I have found it did help my VO2 a bit when i was dabbling in short distance triathlons.
Awesome advice. Will do
Challenging me on all levels in a good way 🏃♀️🌲
Running barefoot for bear feet?
Coach, I’m reading BTR 2, and it’s extremely helpful. Do you think it matters whether beginners run on the treadmill versus the ground? Is there an advantage to running on the ground? Apologies if you’ve already addressed this somewhere.
Hey Coach, Hope you're having a great spring. How did you feel about the Norda 002 in comparison to these, which I know are your go to for a number of years now? Best, Craig
The Norda 002 has one of the best outsole grip I have used. However, the midsole is too soft for my technical trails, as it bottoms out and is not very protection. But very good on smoother, clean trails. Upper is not very breathable. And not sure how relevant the Trailfly is anymore since they changed it significantly. I am loving the new Merrell Long Sky 2 Matryx for longer technical terrain however.
Thanks so much for your reply, Coach. Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding; V2 not relevant? Because so many new shoes have come out since? Thanks for your notes on the Merrells.
hi eric i want to ask what are the 8 HR zones ? thanks
Eric, what do you think of Altra and Topo in comparison to Xero?
Xero Shoes are very very minimal and most runners don't have the strength to run in them for more than 20-30 min. So use then as a strength tool and the Altra or TOPO as your everyday running shoe.
Thanks for the video. I usually don't run. I take long walks, with some short running here and there, but mostly walking and hicking. I guess the scrambler low are the one to choose in my case, do you agree?
Incredibly helpful. Cheers Eric
Best online coach by far!
Best online comment ever!!!
Awesome Eric. Thank you!
Is it bad to jump on a trampoline for runners?
Posting looking for thoughts on Inov8 G270v2 vs new Trailfly / Speeds vs Xero Scrambler Low. I tried V1 (tongue discomfort), the new Trailflies have stack and drop. Are cool shoes but very different for me. I have both on hand, coming from Mesa Trail as my preferred shoe. The MTII feels floppy in the foot and is proving a little too minimal lately. Scrambler on the way, maybe most excited about it.
Such good content and information. Thanks Eric (and Chris). I owe all my running, however mid it might be, to these guys.
