    Seth, last night I ran up a 7-mile road in Flagstaff that started at 7300 feet and ended at 9500 feet going up to the mountain trailhead. Everything was burning, but I kept thinking about the red blood cells and not to fight the mountain, but float the mountain. Climbing for 7 miles straight during a run made me respect mountain running even more than I already did. This was on the pavement so I can't imagine how it would feel running up a 14er. I don't know how you do it day after day, I will need many recovery days after this one! Much respect to you and all the mountain runners out there👊 ♥

    I started watching your channel for the shoe reviews. Which, by the way ,have helped me tremendously. But I have stayed for the shoes and everything else. I am not a runner. I just walk fast. Or did, I should say. Recovering from injuries. Your videos, like this one, and the ones for balance have helped me more than therapy did. You always give me such inspiration. Early this morning I was on the treadmill and only had 5 minutes left. Five little minutes ! And boy, I did not want to finish. I closed my eyes and pictured you on the mountain. Jeez, if he can do this, I can make 5 more minutes. I don’t know if I will ever run again, but I will be a great fast walker ! Thanks for all you do.

    QD:
    My ankle is actually so supple that it becomes way to flexible. I can bend my ankles outward in a 90 degrees angle...
    My superpower: I never ever twist my ankle in a way it hinders me while running;
    my weakness: while running I can do a combined overpronate/suppinate thing where my ankle just goes wherever it wants.

    Hill bounding as you're doing in this video is a very important part of early-stage training in the Lydiard method. Most people neglect this, partly because it's very stressful in the lower legs. You did a good job talking about being cautious and implementing it slowly.

    What's also interesting is that the new superstar of track and field, Hobbs Kessler, has a background in rock climbing. He's only been running for 4 years, broke the high school record in the indoor mile (3:57). Then ran 3:34:3 in the 1500, also a high school record. And that time equates to a 3:51 mile!! I'm guessing that rock climbing had to help a fair amount, as it would seem to involve a lot of plyometric type of workload. Two years ago he was in the finals of the world youth rock climbing competition.

    QD: STIFF with a capital S!!!! I learned this the hard way running a marathon in early June. I came up with a calf strain at mile 17 and it was the most miserable miles of my life to finish! I’m on a new routine now involving percussion gun, rolling, and stretching! At 37yrs old though I’m behind the 8-ball! This message is so important for runners of all skill levels! Stay supple and keep the vlogs coming 🤜🤛

    Qod, definitely supple. Seth, did you know that Tom Bradys' TB12 training program is based on muscle pliability. His trainer is the one who convinced him to try it. The basic principle is to use less weights, with much more stretching and plyometrics in order to allow the tendons to lengthen, which in turn allows him to absorb more contact without getting injured, and thus recover more quickly as well.

  • @alyxandrasherwood1176
    @alyxandrasherwood1176 3 роки тому

    Mentioning the triple jump brings me back to high school track. My ankles were not as strong then as they are today because of consistent training and KT tape. You are 100% right about the lower leg suppleness. I am working through an ankle tweak (not calling it an injury) and just purchased a slant board to help with the stretch.

  • @jro558
    @jro558 3 роки тому

    QD: Supple - I have spent a lot of time working on my ankles because they have been the limiting factor when I was younger. I use resistance bands and spend time working above and below the ankle - calves and feet. I also like to use the leg press for calf raises. The trails where I live are also quite sandy which has been incredible for helping my ankles.

Would love to know more about your gym routine and advice for runners that also love lifting. Thanks for the videos and more power to you and your lovely family❤️😀

    I started running in lower drop running shoes about two years ago and I think it allows for a deeper ankle flexion and thus can create more of a flick on toe off.

  • @chrisdawson9452
    @chrisdawson9452 3 роки тому

    QD: I originally come from a swimming background, where ankle flexibility is extremely important. Unfortunately, due to the lack of impact, I never had much opportunity to strengthen it in a way that would be beneficial to running. I've found that it has been one of the biggest challenges as I've started running to strengthen the ankle AND keep it mobile, but it's also where I've seen the most improvement. All the specific lower-leg work has finally allowed me to run consistently and without injury.

But you best believe this injury has got me focused on strengthening them so the same injury never recur

  • @Martha-fluterunner
    @Martha-fluterunner 3 роки тому

    QD Ankles are supple and strong. The only reason they’re supple is that I do exercises for ankle strength/range of motion most days. I personally think it’s best not to wear carbon plated shoes and stiff-midsole shoes based on roll technology ALL the time because they don’t allow you to flex all the joints and connective tissues in the foot and ankle in a normal gait. I also wear shoes with a range of drops for the same reason. I think having a varied shoe rotation keeps my legs and feet healthy. Plus, it’s fun! Martha

  • @alexanderzelinka413

    QD: I use to have extremely supple ankles in my younger years. After a decade of powerlifting/bodybuilding, my ankles and tendons became extremely strong but rigid with not much stretch and five as they use to have. Hence why I’ve struggle so much with my Achilles since my return to running.

    QOD: Very stiff these days. I went to an osteopath last week about lower back pain, and he said it’s probably due to me sitting a lot and not stretching my legs enough. I do have your leg stretching routine video saved, I just never rewatch it and follow, while my foam roller is gathering dust…
    Well, time for assigned stretching!

  • @trainwellracewell

  • @cliftonthompson7535
    @cliftonthompson7535 3 роки тому

    QD: My ankles tend to be pretty supple. I've rolled them plenty of times whether on trails or even just misplacing a step on the roads, but they always hold steady. It hurts and you hear a pop, but usually I can shake it off and finish out the run.

  • @dallinsiddoway5119
    @dallinsiddoway5119 3 роки тому

    QOD: Ankles always better than knees. Since running in high school always was my knees causing more problems than anywhere else. Even when shin splints have been at their worst, it never compared with how debilitating IT band and other knee issues have been.

  • @runningwithdr.andrewdpt9177
    @runningwithdr.andrewdpt9177 3 роки тому

    I’ve never been more excited for the Olympics but I have mixed feelings about it based on what’s happening with COVID. Jamaica 🇯🇲 is filled with sprinters and I loved watching the Olympics especially when we dominated. This year as a new runner though I’m excited for everything running but this time around I’m more into distance running, so now I have two things to look forward to as I have found new love for the sport of running. As for the question of the day I’ve never had any ankle or Achilles pain so I’d think there’re a bit supple and I do a lot of hill running, my runs start up hill and end up hill.

  • @RamblinView
    @RamblinView 3 роки тому

    Seth, we never see you do what a lot of people would think of as traditional high effort hill repeat workouts. I would love to hear your input on this type of interval work for runners. For example, every other week I do six 3-minute hills at near max effort which end up being regressive splits. A workout recommended by Dylan Bowman

      I'm 60 and still run a lot. My saying is I train harder to run slower. In reality, I'm faster at 60 than 55. The margin for error just decreases as we age. I have to train really hard for a small gain, but I still love running and it brings me great joy. Just keep turning that doorknob.

    Seth (if you see this, and I know the 50 mile review is likely to come) or anyone, love to see the Skechers making it out on the trail. When do you think the brand will make the push to ultras or elite ultra trail runners will make the move to Skechers? I could be wrong, but trail shoes seem new for them, and I assume it’s mostly sponsor driven. But love the shoes. Nice to see a Skechers trail shoe on your feet in the mountains .
