i really love the saying let the hill be your teacher. The truth is we are always the disciples of the hills. Once you master one, you can always find the next one to make you humble again.

Beautiful scenery there. That's a gnarly trail too. Thanks for the great tips. 🤘

Best online coach by far!

I have been changing my foot strike for a few months to your recommended. I sometimes slow my run and run in place to remind myself how my foot strike should feel. This video is brilliant! Today I did hill repeats and really felt how natural my foot strike felt. Your tip has really helped me actually feel the right way to run. Thank you!!

Master Class, thank you!

Thank you for everything 🏃‍♂️❤🍻🍀

Fantastic!

Great lesson Eric. Much appreciated!!

Thank you for this. Informative with beautiful scenery too.

game changer!! Thank you

One of the best explanation on the internet and i agree 100% with the described techniques.

Eric awesome video. Thank you for all the awesome content. Your channel and books has helped transform my running.

Enjoyed this video. I love that you showed us a form drill we can do by feel. Thanks for also showing a stair option.

Awesome and thank you again! Love all the videos. This one helped me realize the importance of doing drills focused on knee drive and the importance of strengthening the hip flexors to to be able to fire quicker to get the knee forward fast enough to keep cadence.

The lifetime of mastery perspective completely changed my focus. Book purchased 👍🏾

THANK YOU

This is an amazing video! I started to forefoot running just a few days ago and it is like learning to walk again, and I keep doing it wrong but this uphill (or running at one place) reminds me how I should be feeling.. cannot get enough of your videos! Thank you. You are an amazing coach, Eric.

So simple but so effective

Appreciate the detailed analysis and coverage of distance running. I recently read and received coaching from Shane Benzie, author of, ‘The Lost Art of Running’. He too has done field research with indigenous tribes, Kenyans alongside a heap of top level ultra runners. His view is that the foot strike should be on a soft knee and on the triangle of the foot (two balls and the heel). So essentially, a full foot. What’s more, he advocates the use of vertical oscillation to assist the body to move upwards and forwards (see - Jim Walmsley running form as an example). His methodology is that we should use the elastic tension in our body to propel us forward and do so in conjunction with the ground. So the “bounce” is the free energy return from using the floor as a lever. I was wondering what you think of this, as your view - like many others - seems to be to reduce the bounce in every stride. Having also watched a great deal of footage of world class athletes, they do seem to have the “bounce” however, it is visible when watched in slow-mo, as their running speed and subsequent turnover does appear to dampen their oscillation.

3rd year of running and still learning to run properly. After battling numerous outside ankle pains and shin splint, i realize ive yet learn proper running form.

Awesome vid! New sub here! What brand is the t shiet and shorts?:)

The hill is the teacher👍

What’s your take on the Buteyko nasal breathing method as it pertains to running?

Is it ever time to say Ive done enough 80/20 and start doing more hard uphills a couple of times a week? Or should we do 80/20 and hard uphills (2 miles 1000 feet) only once a week or so? As my name says, I'm mostly just hiking and hardly any running but I will be doing more running soon. I can hike 15 hours a day (68 years old)

Wondering about what type of stretching routine you would recommend. Also if you think it's better to stretch before or after a run or just some general advice on the topic would be awesome 👌
