      personally i would suggest the following
      1. don't attempt to do too much at once. Watch your workload and increase distance and/or intensity gradually
      2. don't neglect strength/flexibility workouts
      3. a short warm-up before a run is a very helpful barrier against injury
      4. pay attention to your form - straight back, use your arms, knees high etc
      5. you dont need to start every run as though a serial killer is chasing you with a chainsaw (looking at you - Mark). You will often get better overall results by starting a bit slower and building up pace during a run
      6. make sure you get adequate rest
      7. Good nutrition is essential. Carbohydrates are your friend
      8. Always go the toilet before a run
      9. Go the toilet again after your warmup
      10. always take an energy source with you for emergency use even if you dont use it. You could get lost, take a detour etc, so having some fuel could get you out of a troubled situation.
      11. oh, and go the toilet again.
      *bonus tip* never trust a fart after kilometre 25

      Good 10 mins of dynamic stretching before heading out! Good for body and cardiac health.

    My best tip is: start slowly 😀 We're often too overconfident of our capabilities and this can lead to frustration or even injury. You want to run for days to come, so don't risk it by wanting to go too far too quickly. You will need time to learn how your body will react to it, how much you can run, how fast should you run and so on. This needs time, so start very very gradually, do want you think it's going to work for you. Going all out each day on each run is just a bad idea no matter what your level is. Also doing run-walk-run is fine, don't be afraid to switch to walking for a bit. I've been running for a few years and I do that all the time when I'm training at low heart-rates in steep climbs, it's fine, my objective is staying in Z2, not going all out.

      Very difficult to start slowly. Over and over again I start too quickly. My watch reports the peace and HR which helps. If it goes to high slow down. So I'm not that fast, doing 6:20 min/km and being overtaken big time by others. But I started 2018 and couldn't even run for 3 min. 12 October 2019 did my first 5k race (26 mins) and 14 October 2020 did 10k in 1:05. And best of all: Had an old knee injury and ran with a knee brace since 2018. More and more I haven't used it and I don't use it at all. To echo @igglan give it time. I never thought I could ever run 10k...

    Something important that I think was missed from this is not to do too much, too soon. And perform strength exercises to make sure your lower-body muscles are up for it.
    After completing the Couch-to-5K this year, I ramped up my distances too soon and became injured. 4 months on, and I am still unable to run because my knees hurt each time I try. (I'm hoping to see a doctor once lockdown eases).

      I have a similar experience but with treadmill. Picked up running again this year after cycling almost exclusively for 2 years. Attempted a 10 mile run on a treadmill after only 2 weeks of outdoor training and injured my ankles. Took more than 2 months to recover.

    Another wonderful video! I wonder for running cadence, is there an ideal rate we should be aiming for? I understand it would vary from person to person. I’m not sure how else I can tell if I need to up my cadence, or if I’m hitting an ok stride rate, for the speed I’m going.

    • @Moneyalmenial
      @Moneyalmenial 4 роки тому

      90 (per foot)/180 is something of a magic number for cadence and is usually offered as the "if I had to choose a number without any other context number.
      As you've said , it will vary by person. It's advisable not to make drastic changes in your cadence.

    I've just started running, yesterday was my 3 session but everytime I run I'm having a hip pain I mean not when I'm running but afterwards, I've started with 8.5 km the second session was 9.2 km and the third session was 10 km, could it be from the long distance since I've just started running? Thanks
