You helped me run even splits in the Newport 10k with your videos and info, Mr. Scullion. Feels so amazing to say that! I focused on my form from the start and tried to be relaxed, it paid dividends towards the end. My race efforts have become more assured in the last few months since I watch this channel, and PB for 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon all in the last 6 weeks. 🏁
Hola from Mexico Steven. Thank you for this brilliant video, at the age of 59 I am finally learning how to run properly, and I am currently transitioning from being a runner who used to shuffle along, to being someone who resembles an actually runner. So thanks again for your help in all of these areas, its gold.
i was just looking at running technique the other day. Came across another video about 'lazy running' with all the bad techniques ie the leg lagging behind like a trot, arms flailing, head tilted back, and thought to myself, "Oh no. that's me!" Got a lot of work to do. Thanks for all the videos!!
Thanks for sharing Scully. Dynamic stretches & mobility movements prior to training/running & static stretching afterwards have changed my whole journey as an athlete. It helps prevent injuries big time!!! I watch people get injured a lot and I ask them: "Do you stretch your muscles before & after workouts?", and the answer is always no, or I do it from time to time, or not so often. A strong, mobile & flexible muscle is a runners best friend. It has helped me increase in speed while my strides were much less than other runners, allowing me to conserve energy and have more range in my Marathons. Scully's techniques are amazing!!!! Do as he says while listening to your body as well, and journal everything!!!! The only way to see improvements is to have a record of it somewhere that you can go back to. It adds a fire in you like never before
These are so well explained and demonstrated. "There's never a perfect time" and "It's a sum of all the parts" are ideas I will keep with me. Thank you, Stephen!
Watching this made me realize how my martial arts training prepared me to be a fast runner because many of the moves I trained mimicked all these exercises or their purpose
I really don’t know how ok or bad my technique is. But I know it can be improved. Especially my knee lift/drive. I’m just back from Boston and ran 2:57:44. Last year was 3:02:59. Felt a lot stronger on the hills this year. 6 months now to New York. Elites just make technique look easy and effortless.
I've found Paul MacKinnon of The Balanced Runner really helpful for offering advice on how to improve. He starts with focusing on upper body position before moving down to the legs and thinking how your arm swing and leg swing relate to each other. A helpful tip is to practice new way/old way where you run for ~50m in the new way, and then ~50m in the old way so you can feel the difference and figure out if it's helping or not.
Thank you for explaining things in a simple way! It’s really helped me understand what I need to do to get better! I appreciate all you’re doing and good luck in Paris 💜🙏🏼🙌🏼!
Your videos are amazing. Is it possible to talk about injuries and recovery? At college I was a 10K, Half-marathon runner, but life happened and gained a ton of weight, then tore right knee's medial meniscus. I would love to run again soon.
You have probably the best content for running in a UA-cam. What do you thing about Olympic qualification times. For 2 olympics they grown from 2:19 to 2:08:10 ? Thanks
Currently 7 days since I last ran due to a niggle that I foolishly tried to run through out of being stubborn. For me it’s the same injuries repeating themselves over and over again and seems to be related to week glutes and hips. I had my gate analyzed on a treadmill and my left leg lands inwards at an angle due to the muscle imbalance. Doing a bunch of these strengthening exercises while I rest and I will definitely add all of these in also. I’m realizing now that I will never get anywhere near my running goals unless I put a lot of time in to this stuff. Thanks for the awesome tips and always Stephen!!
Awesome video, Stephen! Great tips on improving running technique and preventing injuries. Thanks for sharing your expertise! #RunningForm #InjuryPrevention
Perfect time for this video as technique is something I need to improve. Thanks again Stephen for sharing this information, I’m going to try and film myself on the dread mill 👍
Thank you, my left leg or left side is the weaker, making my right leg work harder. During long runs, I get the pain in my left knee ( lazy leg)and hot spot bottom of my right foot. I am working on left leg to work as much as right leg.
Meant to say around marathon pace for “performance technique” but easy pace is also useful to see injury prevention in easy days etc. some people move fab at faster paces, then poorly at slower etc
I drive a lot of hours and I usually get a pinch in my calf when I run because I am always either pressing the accelerator or the brake pedal for really long periods of time...
How about sessions consisting of sets of short repeats like 200m, 200 jog, 200m, 400 jog, 400m as Jack Daniels suggests in his "running formula"? He mentions that they will improve economy and form. Would you recommend incorporating some of those sessions into the schedule?
Great timing, I run with “lazy leg”, trying to change it to knee drive and heel kick. When I continuously do it, my quads and calf hurt during and after. Any tips for improving it.
Your feet turn out to the sides a bit and u roll in a bit. I do the exact same and came here to see if you talk about it. Do you think it needs to be fixed, or just let it be?
You know when you’re listening to someone who isn’t interested in ego. The Jeff Cavalier of running man…… err…. Running, man! not running man…… although, it is “time to get running”….. well, not now, I’m drunk and about to go see Boris (the Japanoise band) BYE…

Bro what…. Why are you even doing a race pace 5k, 10k half and full in a 6 week period 😂

A wealth of knowledge and experience. All summarised in an articulate manner. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Excelente! Great job and fantastic complement to my workout. Thank you for being here.
Thank you for your tips. I’m running my first 100m trail in a few months and boyyy am I tight from all the running / climbing.

Yeap same boat. Good luck.
im also in the same boat.
Nursing an injured right hamstring at the moment taking notes 😮 (I have weak glutes I now from the flicking of soles on the inside of my calves).
Awesome video, Stephen! Great tips on improving running technique and preventing injuries. Thanks for sharing your expertise! #RunningForm #InjuryPrevention
Nice tips!
Have you been reading my mind??? 🎉🎉🎉Thanks yet again !!
Perfect time for this video as technique is something I need to improve. Thanks again Stephen for sharing this information, I’m going to try and film myself on the dread mill 👍
Im here again watching with your another video
Nice video!!! few videos that delve into why to do the technique and what will improve
Great video, exactly what im looking for at the moment 🤙
Got a new injury and yep I've got myself an appointment to get my running technique analysed because it's always the same place i get injured.
Thank you, my left leg or left side is the weaker, making my right leg work harder. During long runs, I get the pain in my left knee ( lazy leg)and hot spot bottom of my right foot. I am working on left leg to work as much as right leg.
My fav UA-cam running content. Thanks you ❤
Stephen yet another informative and helpful video , Keep up the good and I hope your trainimg is going well
Great information and video quality. Which font did you use for the text overlay?
Been taking short fast candence landing on the heels and rolling out off the toes. Man, its a challenge to 'just land on the forefoot."
Great content Stephen thanks. What is your plan to get the qualifying time for paris olympics ?
First! 😀 Thanks for the video!
Love from India sir ❤
Great material! What should the pelvis be doing in the hamstring stretch? Thanks!
When recording our running, are there particular paces we should focus on analyzing? (easy, race pace, threshold, etc.)
Meant to say around marathon pace for “performance technique” but easy pace is also useful to see injury prevention in easy days etc. some people move fab at faster paces, then poorly at slower etc
thank you subscribed
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge in your video's. Was very helpfull (and motivating) in preparation for my first marathon event in Rotterdam!
I drive a lot of hours and I usually get a pinch in my calf when I run because I am always either pressing the accelerator or the brake pedal for really long periods of time...
"Glutes are the biggest muscle in the body." - Stephen Scullion
You were right!
The running school should be called "jog on!!"😎
Second thanks for this video

What kind of treadmill is that?
Great timing, I run with “lazy leg”, trying to change it to knee drive and heel kick. When I continuously do it, my quads and calf hurt during and after. Any tips for improving it.
Your feet turn out to the sides a bit and u roll in a bit. I do the exact same and came here to see if you talk about it.
Do you think it needs to be fixed, or just let it be?
I heard it may prevent cramping at the end of a marathon?
how best to video self on treadmill? go-pro? ask someone to use your phone camera?
I have a recurring Achilles/soleus injury on my right leg. What sort of thing should I be looking at with my technique to overcome this?
Is that an air runner machine?
Sooo.. wish Faster for longer without getting tired video are you talking about? 😀😊
that squatform :D
if i run relaxed my heart rate goes over zone 2 but i can still talk, whats happening
You really only see strides like that Once In A Lifetime ;)
Warm
😆😆🤣🤣honestly u deserve a like for your thumbnail
Johnny sins is that you
You know when you’re listening to someone who isn’t interested in ego. The Jeff Cavalier of running man…… err…. Running, man! not running man…… although, it is “time to get running”….. well, not now, I’m drunk and about to go see Boris (the Japanoise band) BYE…
So much of this is not based on science but purley anecdotal evidence. A shame coming from an olympic runner.
When you only showed standing heel raises, you showed that you dont know what you are talking about
I keep ducking every time you whack the camera!
