    Thank you Everyone is missing on Core Power!!!!!!!! Yes we talk about the Core Exercise BUT not how to use it when running!!!!!!!!!!!
    When you don't use your Core power, you are just SWINGING your arms, hips and legs in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    In Kickboxing, all the punches and Knee Kicks are powered by Core muscles, so much power added by core!!!! In running we have to harness the core power!!!!!
    I used to concentrate on each induvial movement of my arms, hips and legs, now ,I don't, I just concentrate on my Core movement, your core synchronize the upper and lower body movement.
    I use my core power to run and not my legs , you swing your legs and arms, they are powered by Cores.
    Imagine a spring Rod, try to fold and let go!!! The ends are your legs and arms, middle where all the power is , is the core!!!

      @scottsid Рік тому

      Check out KneesOverToes guy, as long as you build it up pain free you can come as far forward as you can over the front knee and actually rebuild strength in the extreme range of motion. If you imagine the amount of times on a steep decline your knee has to go way over your toes, it makes sense to strengthen this position rather than avoid it.

    Great vid Göran thank you
    Sadly I wanted to run ultra distances, my cardio is there but I get knee pain (outside bottom of knee) after a few miles from striking the ground.
    Essentially I've had to switch to swimming & biking for now because of this and had to cut running completely.
    I've been trying knee strengthening exercises for 2-3 months but every couple weeks I try a casual long run and so far my knee still flares up every time 😔
    Do I just need more knee strengthening e.g. 6-12+ months total, or should I buy a certain type of shoe, or a knee band, or does anyone have any tips for how I can get from where I am now to running ultras without this damn knee pain?
    _Thank you to anyone for taking the time to read/reply_

      I've had a similar problem in the past. What helped me was evaluating my gait. Sometimes in ultra running, we run very slow with very long strides. These long strides can definitely put more stress on your joints. So if you think you might be over striding, try shortening your strides a bit. Experimenting with gait could help you, it helped me a lot!

    Do you want low muscle mass to be a good runner? Also would you suggest me doing all these exercises everyday or should I just pick one?
