      It’s all about the click bait. A lot more people are entised to click when they hear “marathon champion”, because not many people probably know who des linden is, so they wouldn’t watch. Does suck, but in the end all they want is views.

      they keep the title to a certain amount of words, and “Marathon Champion” is going to get more interest than her name (which a lot laypeople don’t know). You can see her name throughout the video, not everything’s DiSrEsPeCtFuL

      @rrai- 3 роки тому +5

      in most sports the people watching dont usually play them. like football, basketball, mma, etc. they actually enjoywatching the game more than playing it and so they know the players. running is a rare one where most of the people running dont watch related sports cause they do it just to be healthy and improving themselves, but actually find it quite boring. so of course most people interested in the topic are not gonna know who she is, therefore the title. for example Im glad I watched the video, but if it was just her name I wouldnt have clicked. im just a simple mortal that runs 5km every other day

    On the “running machine” tweet. I personally find it so much easier to run outside than to run on a treadmill (when weather is nice). Not only is it less boring but I go so much faster and it doesn’t seem to hurt as much (more maybe it’s just easier to ignore lol)

      When I was a beginner training for the Tokyo marathon I was in the middle of a deployment (on an aircraft carrier) so using a running machine was not only my only choice but was a great way to learn about what kind of pace I can handle/need to be at!

    I think the thing with minimalist shoes is, padding is useful when running long distance over hard pavement because it's not a natural surface. With training and adaptation, minimalist shoes really shine best when running on dirt/sand/grass in my opinion. Long distance is harsh on the feet on concrete without padding.

    With regards to the hydration question, when I was a runner in high school, we used to have straps that could go around our waterbottles and sort of holster them to our hands while we ran so that we didn't drop them. It only works with Gatorade bottles or ones that require you to squeeze them when you take a sip, so don't go trying it with a CamelBak. That could also be a helpful option for anyone in or getting into distance running.

    about the barefoot running I really recommend doing it, my coach made me do it and my form improved. You can notice with what part of the foot you are landing. But this is something you do on a track at low speeds because otherwise it will hurt because of the friction. It also feels really nice everyone should try it it is a nice experience.
