I’ve just finished the couch to 5k but still not running 5k in 30 minutes, I’m doing just over 4k. So I’m going to keep up the 3 runs a week to try and get a better distance in that time :)
I have been running for decades. But when I am running outside I always carry a 33 ounce bottle of water with me. If I don’t have that water with me then I have to have 220 ounce bottles of water hidden under the trees at neighbors houses when I go for my 6 mile run. I live in Florida it’s hot and humid I don’t know why I’m like this I’m the only runner I ever see carrying water but I’ve done it my whole life.
Heather I love the content that you and Mark put up. This is another good sense video, thank you. Some pointers that I will take on board. I've been running for 14 months so still a beginner learning lots. Laughed hard at "the 6:00 lady", her invisibility cloak wasn't working today. Pure gold!
I started running in December last year and I'm now up to running every 2days usually 5 to 10km. I'm starting your 10wk program to run a half marathon on Monday (I posted on that video too), really excited about it and very grateful for your videos, they really help a 43yo beginner!
You guys are amazing! I started to watch gcn, then gmbn and now I ended up here. Great quality all the time in all aspects: information, entertainment, video quality, photography... Thank you all for being there. I'm learning and practicing as never before! ❤️
Don't tell the guys, but you are my favorite GTN presenter. I especially like your running episodes, and your personal run challenges. Thanks for helping to keep me informed and motivated!
I'm pretty sure that I've made most of these mistakes! I've actually started a UA-cam channel documenting my fitness journey with the aspiration of eventually running a half- marathon. Thanks for covering these mistakes I didn't even realize I was making. I'll make some adjustments!
I am new to running/ jogging. I've been running around the 5 tennis courts across from me as I'm in the city and a little safer. These videos have been helpful. I actual run wearing Clouds as well.. I'm on my 3rd pair love them. I did a virtual 5k around the tennis courts in 43 min. I'm trying to get better with my time. I did my 5k this Thursday (Thanksgiving) came in the house and my nose started running and then i started sneezing. My nose ran for 12 hours. Mind you when i came in the house which was warm i only took off my jacket but still had on my clothes. That evening i took some cold meds and been in the bed resting for 2 days. Thanks again for the teaching as i really want to have proper form which i believe in good with. I just need to practice with my running and walking and get my pace together.
I’ve become such a fan of Heather’s content 🙌🏻 (Mark is wonderful too 😉)! Never would have thought there could be so many details in running before I started. Thanks, GTN. I’m curious about at what age pro triathletes begin their training and their experiences getting into it, including balancing often full-time work and maybe other hobbies. Future video idea?
Thanks Jennifer, I do hope I haven't made running seem complicated, there are just a few things that can make it easier and help you improve. The journey pro's take into the sport varies so much, have you seen our recent feature on Ruth Astle turning pro?
@@heatherfell_oly Definitely not - these details make me more appreciative of running (my least favourite of the three). Missed the Ruth Astle one but just watched it at your mention. Very enjoyable, liked it a lot!
I started running properly again last week having got myself a Garmin fr 245, I've been using the built in training features and have fell in love with running... Hopefully once lockdown is over I can set my sights on my first triathlon
I love your videos. Im 75, ran in my mid to late 60s. Been training in the gym but tomorrow, after six weeks,I’m ready to run on an outdoor track. I plan on this first outdoor run to go slow. My time is now 40 minutes. I used to run 32, but after months of practice. I do core exercises too. I want to get into the high 30s in 60 more days. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Is it a good idea to run in the morning without eating anything on an empty stomach? I’m talking about 30 min or less run. Or do you need a bit of carbs for energy?
Hey there, always looking forward to GTN content 🙏🏽 gratitude for the GTN team 🧡 regarding 'picking feet up,' what if you're a new runner without an aerobic base established? And staying in zone 2 is particularly challenging? For instance, I find that when I pick up my feet, my heart rate spikes well above the aerobic max. cant walk and cant run: it's been tricky finding a technique that feels safe and sustainable. For those wanting to run at least 80% of their miles in zone 2, would you be willing to talk about the different running gaits forms and techniques for each zone - especially for those still @ a very slow pace to maintain low bpm? 🙏🏽 thank you & namaste
I would say start with walking till you can run in zone two. If your wanting to do the 80/20. Set up your heartrate as best as possible and stick to it. I'm currently trying to do lots of km right now with staying in zone two.
@@viewsbyusher hi, thanks so much for your feedback. How many km are logging a week, out of curiosity? My HR easily drops to zone 1 when walking. In vibram five fingers, intense power walking is problematic.
I am realatively new to running I have been on and off for about a year or so, my confidence is shot for many reasons and I am an obese woman who is top heavy, however I want to say thank you for these videos because I know they will help me, my biggest issue really is breathing and not fuelling properly, since watching these videos I am going to start experimenting with breakfast before my runs, also I walk to my local park run so I will start taking a banana or something to replenish the energy used while walking, I donhaveba request though, is there or can there be a warm up/cool down exercise specific video? I make the mistake of thinking my walk will be enough but based on last week's park run that isn't enough...thank you
You guys have been such an encouragement for me through this seasons. Thank you for the great vids & info. I am encouraged, yet again, to go out and run!!🏃♂️
I went from 3km, to 23km within 4 weeks. My body is in shambles lool! Have signed up for a relay Ultramarathon in October. Definitely need to fix my gate before then!
@@zagreb2012 quarantine mate. Gym's closed, off work, side projects cancelled. I agree it was a bit much too soon but the injury factor was worth the goal of running a half marathon.
Thanks :) I'm not new to running but I still don't have it all figured out. I often find myself with weird pains in my body haha And when I go for a run less than about 8 days before my period or during my period the pain can be absolutely awful :b that sucks when you want to participate in running races 'cause you don't choose the dates of the events ... do some of you also deal with that issue ?
Hi Clara, Running certainly takes some time to get used to and your body will start to adapt. Periods effect women differently as I'm sure you know, have a look at the FITR women app, I use it and it really helps explain what training is best suited to different times of the cycle.
Great advice. One thing that all runners should have is good UV protection from a good pair of sunglasses. Being in the sun is great but UV damage to the eyes is cumulative over a lifetime and can cause great harm years later. Better safe than sorry!!!
many thanks. useful video. can you say anything about how to handle ups and downs as you run? Should you aim to keep the pace steady as you run up an incline or accept a drop in pace? And when you are coming down should you allow yourself to accelerate or apply a lot of control?
Just subscribed. New to running so I find your vids very informative and interesting. Any ideas where one could buy the running shoes at 6:52 in the US.
I am having issues with a tight back and problems driving my legs since the start of the quarantine in March. I wasn’t having issues prior. Any suggestions on loosen the lower back and getting that leg drive back.
I expect your muscles have switched off some what so look at doing some activation work for core and glutes. We've got several videos covering this. Some running drills would help too, again check out our vids.
I started running a few months ago and there was one thing that had huge effect on my running form and this is a thing i think every new runner should be aware of. As we use the computer more and more the strenghtening and checking of our normal form is very important when it comes to running. My shoulders are at different height because of extensive mouse use as i work at the computer and i think this difference elevates my hip on one side and it makes me "correct" my balance by swingin my arms at different height and not stepping straight with my other foot. And this affects my knees that have some soreness. I have started this big strenghtening and stretching routine to make it better and it has done wonders. So the normal form and the starting point i think is very important. I noticed this thing after i took a video of myself and saw myself hugely one sided even though i felt i was straight as an arrow.
I live at 6,200 feet above sea level. Running up here is brutal at first, but I know it's helping my lung capacity big time. Can't wait to destroy some trails at sea level
I break out in hives if I run immediately after eating a meal...now I run fasted or 2, 3 hours after having eating. So far eating a banana if I'm peckish before seems to be enough.
Well changing up a route or place to run here in United States is not a choice for some Americans depending on your race someone may call the police on you or you might get shot.
Have you recently started running or returned to it? How have you found it? Leave us a comment!
I’ve just finished the couch to 5k but still not running 5k in 30 minutes, I’m doing just over 4k. So I’m going to keep up the 3 runs a week to try and get a better distance in that time :)

think she had a pint of water just before running

Thank you for your tips. I believe I had runner's knee and I took your advice about taking rest into consideration. My knee feels alot better now.
Great video, enjoyed the lady hiding from the camera at 6:00 and the comments about her 😂.
Negative splits is the name of the game. More efficient and less painful than leg splits. At least when it comes to running !
The lady walking at the background is so funny. I can see you ma 😅🤣😂😜

Great tips as always Heather. Love the lady in the background trying to stay out of shot, or was she pretending to walk down stairs 🤣🤣
Running: Don't do it like the lady at 6:01 or else your upper body will be bent too much :).
Thank you so much for excellent tips .... You're guys are amazing 😊
Great advice. One thing that all runners should have is good UV protection from a good pair of sunglasses. Being in the sun is great but UV damage to the eyes is cumulative over a lifetime and can cause great harm years later. Better safe than sorry!!!
I always run 15-20 minutes after dinner, with no problem. Love the advises though.
