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 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!

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.

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!
@BornToRunCoachАй бұрын
@@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.
@80livesАй бұрын
@@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!

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!

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.

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
@BornToRunCoach2 ай бұрын
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.

@BornToRunCoach2 ай бұрын
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.
