Love this video...I'm kinda hitting a wall with my running, went for a bike ride instead of a long run yesterday...I think my big mistake is not taking my easy runs truly easy
How is it that GTN is inside my mind with every video? I've recently setup my first TT bike and I'm battling a run plateau at the moment.
I was getting burnt out and getting sick every week. I was trying to push my km by doing more longer runs rather than 1 long and 4 easy runs. I stopped pushing myself so much and feel so much better, and my speed on those hard runs has improved because of it.
Another alternative that does not get mentioned is is rowing. I have only just started running and I can run non stop at a slow pace. I have done 5 - 10k already at around 7.30 - 7.40 pace per km. I couldn't do that before I started rowing. That and kettlebells too
I’m coming off an injury that had me take with weeks off running entirely. It’s been a slow build to get back to regular runs, but there is a big disparity from where I was before injury and where I am now. It’s frustrating as I had built by training over years, and that’s probably what I need to focus on, but it’s hard to lose that much over such a short period. Prior to the break I was hitting some all time PR’s, finding it tougher to get motivated at the moment. Thanks for the reminders, I do need to focus more on the process, running easier, and allowing for more time off.
Love running , I had been improving my pace since I started it about 10 years ago , the first 7 years I didn’t notice any improvement ,, I am getting better just few years ago but now my knee is suffering,, my goal is to get faster in the second run in the Duathlon.
need a video on self talk that you do while running. Like what do you say to yourself while you are having that mental discomfort.
Sometimes running besides someone who had better stamina make me feel not good about myself
Sometimes I watch a video or read someting that isnt neccesarely connected to running but I come across something that I find very motivating and actually believe in. Whenever im doing something very hard or it gets tough that quote pops into my head and keeps me going, that works for me
Try to ask a lot of questions that gets them talking, and if that doesnt slow them down, just ask to back off the pace a little. And remember some people are just gifted, i went on a 10k run with my friend and at the end he said lets run hard this last little bit, I was sprinting and he ran away from me like I was standing still.
I always say “slower is faster “when I’m struggling or “keep it up ur just tired focus on ur breathing nick stay strong”
thank you for mentioning supplementing running with eliptical training. i always wondered whether it'd help, i searched and i searched - and now i have my answer!
I think with more races coming back It's given me more motivation to improve my running. Still recovering from the latest injury but slowly building back up.
Love this channel.Always great tips 🏃🏻♂️👍
Thanks for the info..helpful
Thanks. I needed to hear this.
Thanks for the tips!!
That is the question I ask myself on most of my triathlon races... 😁 🌞
I get to good level of fitness for me personally ( half marathon under 2hours)
Then I get a chest infection and asthma flares up . Antibiotics and a corse of steroids later I’m back to struggling with a 5k this is every year .
Why is it that I didn’t start finding good running content until I started looking yup ultra distance videos?
For at least 60 percent of all runners recovery runs are just a term, but not a possibility. The load on your body when running, unless you are at the pointy end of the running community, is just too high. Forget recovery runs, do other things to recover and then run again.
I have wondered about this! Even when I run a 14 min mile pace, I still don’t feel like I’m recovering. I am at the beginning of my running journey though.
Nothing wrong with walking!
@@lindsayann7817 just take it easy and be patient. Your only goal for the first year or two should be to enjoy and not get injured. Forget about all the rest. You’ll become a proper runner automatically when you do just that. Enjoy the journey
I realized that I need to lose weight to run faster. I could lose 15 pounds and be at a healthier weight and be able to run at a faster pace for a longer period.
I have exactly same problem. No matter what else I do there’s still an elephant in the room.
Literally lol
I needed this, IM STUCK!!!
The addiction to movement makes me run, not sure If thats motivation
you chasing that dopamine rush while you are having a runner’s high
same
I don't know what motivates me to run because I think I run for pleasure mostly HAHA running is the only time I have for myself and I run because I'm grateful for the things my body can do 😊 I just ran my first 5K this morning and the time is 38 minutes 😅 Is this running or jogging? Thanks, GTN! Much love and support x
Congratulations !
We don't care how it's called, as long as you enjoy it :)
I just discovered my weakest spot which is hip flexibility and general glute area. Started to stretch that to expand the range of motion and do some strength exercises (at 3:45).
ps
Beautiful environment scenery 👍
I run for health with pace 7.15-8.30
Maybe some called it jogging ? 😀
It’s ok i don’t compete with anyone. But my target is getting stronger body amd stamina 👍
Lkewse. Getting up there age-wise and after years of long slow distance the knee is getting tetchy. Gym sessions and cycling really help.
@@kimfraser-rybinski9554 per km 😁
@@aLamgo. Maybe you could do race walking instead of running at this pace? 😁
I'm currently on week 5 of c25k, so I'm really new to running.
My question is - I run SO. SLOW. It's really ridiculous. If you've seen that slow running video here on YT, that is me all the time. My Runkeeper app clocks me at 3.25mph. On a treadmill at the gym, my speed is a tad faster - easily 3.8 for a comfortable jog. I think that, at this point, I should continue with what I'm doing and worry about getting through the 8 weeks before I think about getting faster, but I'm looking for confirmation. Is this correct, or should I start trying to up the speed now/soon?
I am on Week 7 of C25k and i did the first 6 weeks at a running pace of 7mph on the treadmill but recently switched to 6.5 i think if your body can take it you should go faster untill you realize what your limit is. once you have found your limit its easier to adjust so you can keep going on the longer runs further down the weeks. dont be afraid to get uncomfortable you will be amazed at how much more energy you got left in the tank. my recommendation is try speeding up if you can handle it then maybe that should be your new base speed
Everyone is different, you are the captain of the ship, easy runs should feel easy even if you need to walk, hard runs should feel hard, just keep going your pace is your own. Try to only compare yourself to yourself.
You don't need to do all the c25k runs at a slow pace, some of them can be fast
Hi, thank you for this great video. I am just concern about, running efficiently indoors on the treadmill on my pace, but then when go out to run and I look at the data on my watch I always running 10-15% slower pace. Any idea what might me happening? I just want to increase me speed to a average 7-8 Peace constant on a 10k run.
I just wrote something similar about my pacing being different/faster on the treadmill than outside. Maybe this isn't your concern, but for me, outside, I'm always being so careful with the terrain, that it really slows me down. If you add in the weather and the wind, that can be a factor, too.
Obviously, a treadmill is in a controlled environment. If you get a nice springy one, that helps, too. People say that an incline of 1% is supposed to mimic the outside challenges, but I've found that to be complete bunk.
@@jmr9735 I agree treadmill is good training but outside is totally different, thanks for the input!
Could you swap out all the base miles and long runs with cycling and only do 2 fast key sessions?
I just want to get better at the 5k but i love to do long cycling
nope
I don't think so. I did a lot of cycling last year and did not see improvement in my 5k. I actually got injured running at one point because I was trying to run too far too hard than my body was used to.
@@MsPaperbear can you explain pls 🙏
I think the cardio vascular trigger should be the same if you cycle in the same hr zone
@@swaggermcyoloftw6663 the muscles group utilised is different. I was running a lot back then, doing half marathon and stuff. I thought cycling was easy as I had good cardio fitness, but quickly found out I was wrong.
@@swaggermcyoloftw6663 both are repetitive sports, as in the motion. basically the motions are so different, I am guessing the way the body cleaning up the lactic is very different too.
I’ve been doing 6K runs once a week for about a year but my average pace has always remained at 6’04” for a 37 minute run. My cadence is always 157?!
Maybe try 5k time Trial to see your current fitness and set new training cycle with higher stress.
I get pain in my knees and this has deterred my running routine. Any suggestions to run without knee pain.
Sometimes just stopping works. You can also try to lower your weight on a good caloric deficit without going nuts..
Check your running form as well.
Do you do warm up routines before running? I used to have the knee problems, but it went with warm up routines
Check GTN video on correct form of running
Sorry I'm late to the party. Any issues below the knee including the knee are trainers related. Find yourself a shop that has a treadmill with a camera at floor level to check out your gait.
How many kms would you do in a set of sneakers before getting new ones ?
We've got a video on this, check it out 👉 gtn.io/ReplaceRunShoes
I love going for runs to switch off in nature but recently I noticed that it seems to be my lung capacity holding me back to run faster. I feel like my legs still could go but my lungs say NO! Any ideas?
For me it’s the other way round. After 20k my lungs say „no big deal!“ but my legs are done. Now I am going for really easy runs and it’s getting better. For the lung capacity I am doing hard intervall training once a week. There are tons of different plans how to run in intervals. Just get one and try but try hard. After some weeks your capacity should get better.

What jacket is Heather wearing here?
Did i miss Bodywaight? IMO its the key to faster running
Bodyweight makes drastic changes to any portion of working out. Start of covid I was my lightest in year. The holidays and a job change has caused a drastic rise in BW and my running has confirmed that.
I can not get my one mile time under 10 minutes. It's so frustrating!
Try this: go to a track and run one lap or 400m faster than you normally run, then walk for 30-45 seconds, then run and walk a bit again at the two lap point, and so on. You will likely find that you are faster on overall average pace despite the slower walking portions. If that is not the case, just continue this drill until you are sub-10’ on the mile. If you don’t feel the need to take a break on some lap, just continue running until you do.
@@aroundandround good idea I will definitely give this a try!
I can't run fast I don't know why but I'm only 14 and my legs are very weak
I'm pretty sure I'm slow because I'm old!
Automatic Like when I see Heather
neeeeeeeeed time stamps lol
Curiosity.....wondering what my limits are
If I don’t run, I’m full of shit, so I run simply to eat more and be able to poop on a daily basis.
Why aren't I running faster? Because I can't run.... 🤔 😉
10 minutes of 7/10 uncomfortable running
and than slow down
look like we are doing HIIT
