Nathan you do an awesome job explaining things with words but i would like to see more video footage of you running so I can watch in action what you are talking about. B- Roll while I can hear your voice explaining the concept will definitely help to reinforce the concept.

I need to see the actual motion while you're running. The talk through is good but just one clip of you showing us while you're running would be awesome!

Been running for a few weeks now. Starting to take it more seriously and was looking for a few vids on KZfaq to improve my form. You're engaging and intelligent! Keep up the great work, you're awesome. Subscribed!

Great information...The explanation of the top down approach in dealing with foot strike is the best I've ever heard. Thanks for breaking it down and giving the reason why. Much appreciated!

Even at 63 these tips have changed the speed and ease of my running a lot. Love these tre videos!

This is a great video! Your tips really emphasize letting your body figure out what works best for itself. This concept is one of the best ways to improve running for sure!

Nathan ...all i can say is WOW! i've devoured your vids and years of running with minimal result are now blooming! i appreciate you guys! chris.from the bahamas

I love how you look at running it's exactly how I see and would approach it. I do movement exercises so I see what you mean by movement is key to running better. Total sense everyone needs to understand this and it becomes easy to improve.

Running tips with Louie C.K.

Ive been watching your videos and really appreciate all the info you bring and work you put on them. Thank you!

Thank you! Your tips and advice make me feel less bad about my awful running form because I always concentrated on my foot strike instead of everything else that might contribute to my problems. I will try these tips out and see how it goes. :)

Quite honestly one of the best workout videos. Excellent public speaker

Seriously thinking of easing up on the weights and taking running more seriously...this helps sub 👍🏾

I really like your approach and your advice not make corrections in a vacuum. It really makes great sense and something I had not considered before. I have been a runner for about 15 years and am constantly making tweaks and often paying the price for it. Subscribed to learn more.

I just ran my first 5K Sunday and had back and shoulder pain all week. I used these principals to do a mini workout on my treadmill this morning just to become more aware of running mechanics. For one, I was always running with my head bent forward to look at my feet! I corrected that and tried to loosen my shoulders a bit and hopefully I'll be back on track. Thanks Nate!

Man knows his stuff.

Great info. Thanks alot!

I began having knee problems pretty much immediately after I began running, and a friend told me it was probably my hip placement and running form. I looked up what proper running form is and THIS video had hands-down been the most helpful of all of them. Thank you so much for posting!

Very helpful video. Thanks!

Excellent video and just what I was looking for. I’m about to take up for some light running after a few years of being inactive. I was aware that technique can help reduce injuries, and I’m off to see my Physio tomorrow who is also a runner for some advice. Really appreciated this. Many thanks

as a beginner/amateur runner, this was incredibly helpful!

Very good video . Great advice

Brilliant, thank you!! This is an awesome and informative video. I love the way you explain things without seeming condescending or like you think beginner runners are plebs!

This has been the best explanation of reality of novice runner problems that I have come across in all the videos I keep watching on running better. Thank you Nathan for the beautifully explained runner form problems . I have been facing lot of problems with my running form and been trying to correct it and make changes all at once and it stresses me out completely. The result, I’ve not yet been able to have a proper running form which has caused my lower back to hurt a lot along with some 2 small injuries I suffered in the last 2 years. This year, so far so good but posture correction is an area I’m not able to achieve. You have spoken so well about the dropping of shoulders, arm swings. Hip movement and so much more which is exactly what I do 🙈

thank you, after watching this, i realized I've be focused on my foot strike, way too much. been having heel probs, kept changing shoes, and focus on my strikes, especially downhill. now using top to bottom, i feel the difference, easier, more natural, a lot smoother. thank you!

Thanks for your trainingtips. It really helps .

Weather is getting nicer in Boston, which has motivated me to pick up running. I have had an office job since I left high school, which was also me sitting in a desk. Today while running, my husband pointed out my incorrect foot landing and told me to change it. I tried doing it while holding my posture and breathing, but it was too much. I was ready to give up. I appreciated your message about allowing my body to get accustomed to new techniques gradually with consistency and to be real with myself that, while our bodies can be great at running, we spent most of our time not running. Your vid was mentally and emotionally helpful for me. Thanks

Really helpful! Thank you

This video changed my life

Man what’s up with these dislikes? Great info Nate 👍🏽👍🏽

The videos are so good. Love the channel!

Amazing video here. Thanks for such valuable information :)

All of your video's are on point, thank you 👊🏾

Great video! Really helpful

I am training to get into Law Enforcement. At 49 I need all the advantage I can at increasing my running distance and time. These videos are really helping me. Thank you for all the hard work you all put into this.

Excellent advice.

Explaning running form without run...Great Job (!)

You explain things really well. Also, love your form/posture.

I love the channel. I am new on running and I have learned and improved a lot following your videos. Thanks. By the way a also like your shirts.How can I buy a run experience t shirt?🙂

Love this channel. Got so much from it. Still struggling with shin splits even after more than a year. But my running technique is improving gradually. Better cadence, better stamina, not much faster (or slimmer :-( ) but I am 56. Not an excuse I know. My experience has been it’s better to change one thing at a time. Over thinking while you’re running is not conducive to good form. So this video is spot on. So thank you TRE.

Great video. Thanks a lot.

Wow so much of this is ture. Thanks for the tips. You got yourself a sub.

Loved this!!! Explained everything so well I have subscribed. I suffer from pain from my knee along my shins so need to really focus on my posture. I have to wear orthotics as I roll my feet inwards. Any tips to help this. I’m actually doing a trek 50k on the Brecon Beacons Saturday and won’t to be able to run some of it.

This brought me from 5:00 to 4:39 in 4 weeks

Great video! Thank you

Love the idea of the kinetic whip

i love your videos

Thank you 😉

Well said.

thanku...last minutes are awesome..love u

Good information

Thank you. It is very helpful. I am a 92 senior, and have brisk walked 5Ks for the past 7 years. I am re-learning how to jog and now preparing for the 5K Run of the Memphis District Senior Olympics next week (Sept 20) and the State Finals of the Tennessee Senior Olympics in June next year.

Really good video

Thank you! do you have any videos on ankle release? I would appreciate them Thanks!!!

Thank you for going over the foot strike. I feel like all these guys who aren’t real runners, just fitness dudes, heavily talking about the foot strike. But I have seen some amazing XC and track runners that don’t land on the forefoot when they run.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I literally got home from the gym like 15 minutes ago, down in the dumps because i can't figure out this foot strike thing (I'm having some plantar fascitis - if thats how you even spell it - problems and its all about my foot strike), and hopped on to the Tube to find a video that might show me how to do it right or at least where to start. Your advice helped a lot and i'm sure it will make a difference on my run tomorrow

Thank you so much. God bless

you guys are awesome and have really helped me in my training, i just have one question ,during my training my shins get really sore and I'm forced to stop for like 10 minutes at a time.Do you have any advice for me to prevent this from happening in the future

guy is a running genius.

Thanks great video

Thanks for info

Good job man, I’ve just recently realized my form was garbage. It was almost like learning how to run all over again in a way, the better my form up top forced me to use my hams and glutes in a way I have never used them in running before. I have to be honest, it felt totally unnatural at first but I noticed my speed and efficiency had improved almost immediately. My joints experienced less discomfort as well. I just wish I would have known this earlier as I’m sure I’ve done a lot of damage to my musculoskeletal system.

Hi, Cristal clear, It's a very good recap. I totally agree with you. Congratulations.

I just subscribe, I should have subscribed a week ago when I saw your vids. You give some amazing advice and tips I can tell by the way I've been running. I do have a question, since I have a belly the whole leaning forward throws me off a bit. Any tips to overcome that while I loose the belly?

Thanks for this video is very useful! Ive been trying to adjust my technique and was wondering if I should do my gait analysis for insole fitting again having changed the technique . Or should I just try running without the insoles?? This is one topic Ive been looking a video about. Are insoles necessary? In which cases? Or is it most often a general technique problem causing the issues?

I've always been a decent runner but I've always looked like a twat doing it, I run like terminator. Thank you so much for this video, I've needed this coaching all my damn life.

Hey body! how are you? great...why do you adapt to negative things? just asking *looks up* whattayoou looking at huh?

I have achillies tendonitis so I made my running form perfect to the point it didn’t hurt when I ran, a year later, it started hurting, my form is getting worse from the pain and the lack of stamina everyday, I’m now here because of that.

Hi so I’m actually in the army and was looking to drop my run time alittle and you actually pushed my run time almost a minute per mile.

Awesome video - thank you. Any tips for transitioning into minimalist/barefoot running?

I miss running I was practicing my 2 miles runs back in high my best time in high school was 12 minutes when I was 17. And I wanna get back in the shape to do it again I'm 22 now.

After i run I have really bad pain in the side of my ankle everytime I lift it on the outer side is terrible and in the heel any ideas why or how I can stop it and how long to heal it ??

So this advice seems like it applicable to walkers as well!

So well explained! And I must say that since I work with The Run experience program my strenght, posture and mobility improved a lot and so did my running technique! So tried and true thing :-)

good vid

A question for you, Nathan: What do you think of running in various terrain vs. constant flat asphalt or track? In my experience, changes in the terrain are very helpful do develop the necessary power and coordination to maintain good form. And with that I do not only mean hills or changing underground, but also obstacles, tilted paths, stairs, branches you need to dodge, etc. If I only ran on straight asphalt all the time I would be scared of ruining my body through monotonous exercise building up and small problems growing bigger and bigger. Is that correct intuition?

Thank you

My favorite recess days were when it was raining and we got to stay inside.

I would like to see a video of a runner with good form (you, Victor Ballesteros, Devon Yanko, etc.) with your analysis and critique.

this is good.

Thanks for the tips. Coming towards the end of C25K but boy have I found it tough. I can't seam to run further than 5/6 mins without the need to take a walk break as I am always out of breath. Hopefully these tips will help . Thanks Rob UK

I appreciate the video, but can you speak to how you can improve your running form if your body has adapted to being overweight.

Can u make a video on how to get good at the 2 mile race. maybe some kinda workout that can helps ur running form and and core anything will help thx

I have runners knee pain in both knees, but a lot more in my left knee. I’ve always felt a bit off balance as if one leg was shorter than the other or something. My left foot seems to land balanced and with full contact. My right foot not so much, it sometimes feels like my foot wants to slide out of my shoe toward the pinky toe side.

Thank you for making these.

I'm fine with my boosting.

Running is something that people want to do and if you think only a few are chosen than you will never be chosen with that mindset being chosen is an choice of yours an idea and acting upon that idea

I ran 6 miles two days in a row and ended up getting runners knee about halfway through on the second day. I had to walk the rest of the way. Been unable to jog even slowly for 4 days now. When it heals up I want to make sure it doesnt happen again. Hopefully this helps.

you land with ur foot first or ur heel in general so that it's more effective and have less injuries.Thanks in advance

So I’m only 13 and I’m running relays and the medley for my track team. The problem is that I weigh 145 and I’m not a huge guy. Should I try loosing weight or try and gain more leg strength. Which would get me faster in a shorter amount of time?

I wish this guy was my coach

Run Run Run

I’m new to running I’m sure I’m a heel striker. What should I work on first my form and then add distance. Tu

Hey Nathan, starter running few months ago, my natural feet falls on heel. Should I be trying to change that ?

I am 62 yrs old, I used to run alot up until 10 yrs back. Had a major leg injury. Almost was cut completely off. Caf cut in two. Healed from that, started running again, but I'm partly paralyzed in foot. Can't really till though. 6 yrs ago had open heart surgrey. Doctor said I had Afid. Became very discouraged after that. I've recently started jogging again. DO you think its possible to become good again? I was up to 6 miles a day 10 yrs ago, and loved it. Any suggestions.

Great vid. Would love to see arm movement demonstrated. What's the right amount of arm swing and why do great runners have almost no arm swing?

Nice

When I use a treadmill I notice my calves hurt way more then when I go run on a track. Is there a reason for that ?

very clear explanation. just a question. i've lost my flexiblity of shoulders and back but i love running. How could i start to begin to recover my natural running position?? Pilates? Stretching? Maybe it's a dummy question but it's difficult to start... sorry for my english.

good tips. I'll pass it on to my boy Georgio for his next alien encounter :)
