@@thewayofthejumprope i live in a small town and in high school we ran the mile. No teacher ever told us anything about proper form & techniques. I would get cramps or my ankle would hurt b/c we landed on my heels first. that was just from running 4 laps after 10 yrs, I tried keto, intermittent fasting & morning run + sprints. no warm ups, no stretches, but I watched athletes and they land on the balls of their feet first, or even almost flat. just that alone removed the pain. 20 laps on saturday, thin shoes, no ankle problems, and after that full on sprinting, no pain. sunday, same thing. no pain. i think minimizing impact was the major issue here. oh & thank you for making this video. the break down was very helpful which I wish our PE teacher did when I was little. I also found breathing in & out in sync with the slight arm movement helped with pacing too.
@@cheesypuffs1342 being a good runner with a good, comfortable technique will change the way you feel about physical fitness and your health and diet. Keep working hard.
@@MackTheGovnah yeah tell me about it! the last time I worked out was in Grade 10 P.E., and then after 10 years decided one day to get back into running around the 400 meter track
So basically he is maximizing his run by minimizing as much unnecessary movement as possible staying as linear as possible? If you had to summarize it in one sentence how would you? Great vid btw!!!!
I appreciate this analysis a lot and never thought how little adjustments can go a LONG way. Started to feel pain about a month ago even with rest days in between. I saw this video, adjusted my form and my gosh how much it has helped. Thank you.
Look at Dr Eric Berg vids ,subscribe to his chanell..Also go into "Dr Eruc berg knees " and look through each of about 5 4 or so min clips ...so useful .. also start taking glucosamine.every day ,calcium and omega 3 oils either in capsule forms or actual fish. Olive oil too ..I'm a scientist and my wife a top pharmacist in U.K..
As someone who ran in college, form and posture is everything in almost any activity you participate within that is also athletic. It’s a little more steps to it, but this is a good start for beginners and people who need some advice.
And good footware thats taylored to your needs. The trainers i get to suit my foot movement is Brooks. Before i got them my right hip was hurting after about 7 miles.
If you are going to run a lot you need at least two days a week of strength training.. Squats, Lunges, pushups, pullups, dips, Kettlebell Swings, burpees and especially your core.. I notice when I regularly strength train my runs are easier. Also it prevents injury and fixes muscle imbalances..especially lunges..Also The Assault Air Runner Treadmill really helps your running form and body positioning. It's just as hard as running outside. 2 miles on the Assault Air Runner is like 4 miles on a regular treadmill.
The lean angle is the most important thing. You are essentially falling forward with every stride and just catching yourself. That’s how I run. I just randomly found this video but it’s how I “re-learned” how to run as an adult.
This is amazing attention to detail. Just started exercising again 3 days ago. 4 mile run on day 1, 30 minutes speed rope day 2, 30 min speed rope today. I’ll be trying this on my next run tomorrow and see how it works for me the next couple runs. Thanks for the breakdown G. Mayweather the 🐐
@@Ravi-fx6vf it’s been going great actually man. 3 days speed roping, 1 day rest, then 4-5 mile runs for the next 3 days, & repeat. No sore legs, no shin splits, no sore bottom of the foot, not running out of breath, etc.
@@golddiggaspalace2549 That's awesome man. Just figured i'd check for some real results. Sounds great, I'll try it out. Have always struggled a bit with the 'right' way to run, so a video like this + real people confirming it is great. Thanks, and good job on the schedule. Im doing something similar with alternating skipping and running.
@@Ravi-fx6vf thanks man, personally I prefer the speed rope because it’s said to burn double the calories as running but I like running as well since you’re not stationary. Also, it’s important I state that on my original comment I stated I did a 4 mile run on Day 1. Well 2 miles in I took a little 5 minute break and my legs were feeling HEAVY. But this was before I saw this video. I was doing everything from long steps to looking down, and making tight faces. I haven’t felt my legs heavy since watching this video, I haven’t had to stop for any breaks or anything. I’d say it’s working great so far. Let me know how it works out for you.
@@golddiggaspalace2549 Did it last night and not gonna lie it was hard to adjust. I've got quite long legs so the steps are really short. Felt good though, and the looking forward was much better too. Eventually felt embolded so added an incline to my run on the treadmill, which did make my legs heavy! but worth it haha
I like to warm up with walking for 10-20 minutes. I find I can run 4 miles without being super tired. If I warm up with a simple walk before a run I can run faster & longer comfortably. Then I walk for at least 10 minutes for the cool down. The warm up really does wonders for me.
I hated running when I boxed but I get this concept. I used have my head down & my body leaning forward into every step so I'm almost falling into every step allowing me to go further with less effort
The thing I notice with successful people like Floyd, they aren’t standout or superhuman athletes, they are just well rounded with no obvious weaknesses.
Wow! Fantastic vid! Funny how the simple things don't always occur to someone. Been a boxing fan all my life but I never thought about the fact that boxers who on average run what most would consider long distances typically don't have the long distance runner's body. Obviously they do some strength related exercises which would yield a difference physique but I still like how this vid pointed that out. And the techniques mentioned in this vid have me very excited to apply. Thanks for posting!
Thanks a lot for these tips. As one runs often and keeps a mental record of what the small changes feel, the can come up with what works for them. I run a lot at 98 kgs and at some point wasn’t really tiring even after an hour’s run, I felt I could run some more. What I found to be extremely helpful was keeping my butt tight which helped with keep my spinal cord fairly straight. I also found that keeping my knees slightly bent gave me more mileage and less strain and pain. As I run often, my movements become more efficient. Moving a head unnecessarily kind of drains the body. All effort goes into movements with the least possible effort. Strangely, after and hours run, it always feels strange stopping, I always wanted to go on. I did a lot of skipping being in a boxing gym. But being in my 40s I have to do things in moderation. It is a real joy to run, it’s fun being out of breath.
thanks for the tips. I always thought of it as pushing my hips in as thought im moving from my hips. but keeping butt tight could be another mental note i can make on my next run
In terms of foot wear; he is running in old school New Balance, instead of the modern running shoes which have energy returning foams and max cushioning. This leads to more of a midfoot strike and a gentle cadence.
This is a gem of a video. I've had serious shin splints for the past few years from tons of jump rope, kickboxing and running with bad posture. Have studied both Floyd and Eliud kipchoge and my running speed and form has improved dramatically with no pain. Boxing is all about technique and so is running!
Great EP Brother, and God bless you for the break down. I run and walk in a similar fashion, being that I'm 53 years old,and have been trying to stay consistent without having to deal with knee injuries. Keep up the magnificent work ethic Bruh 💯
Hey Michael, I find running after jumping rope works well. Jumping rope beforehand even briefly warms up and loosens the feet, legs, and body nicely. After some jump rope sessions, even a short run, of say, 1km can feel good and provide conditioning benefits. I jumped rope earlier today and ran for 2kms afterwards at a slow pace but it was a nice way to finish.
@@thewayofthejumprope running like Floyd is not an exercise for the heavy people. The impact on your joints is bad. Floyd is light and can handle running very easily.

Good stuff Benjamin. I hope the information is of help. Studying Floyd's running form and putting into practice what I learned certainly helped my running. I always rotate my ankles before exercise and will even stop again within the first minute(s) or so of exercise to rotate them again if I feel like they need it.

But wow after reading your advice here it comes to mind how beneficial such an action would be. So simple it makes me feel silly for not thinking of it myself lol.
might sound super basic but make sure you have your shoes tied up tight so your ankles aren’t rolling around all over the place it makes a big difference
Wow, thank you so much for this! I think the stride length and landing underneath my hips will be the big difference for me. I'm getting back into running form after ankle surgery. It still feels awkward to run, even though I'm mostly able to run pain-free.
Awesome! Sounds like you're making a good recovery. If it helps, I broke my foot and badly injured my achilles tendon a few years ago; ice hockey related. I was back to good a few months later.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it. Yeah, it's definitely a relaxed way of running. Going a bit slower can ultimately make you go farther faster and with less pain.
@AAA IXV He runs miles and is huge, downing wilder in the 3rd round is not relying on expenditure, his recovery ability is insane. Stamina is built from running and if he was a junkie as you put it he has overcome more. doubt mayweather ever done a line of coke, doesn't seem the type
The face expresses the mind. His face is relaxed because his mind is relaxed, even in pain. A relaxed mind will relax all areas of the body so there isn’t unnecessary tension and stress.
That's great Zebastian. Glad you found the video helpful. Good things, Andrew P.S. If you enjoy stories about personal development and transformation, you might enjoy my book Jump Rope Johnny and the Inspiring Mr. P: amzn.to/3KyS8S8
Floyd’s dedication and commitment even when he’s at the top or not being watched is 2nd to no one. He stays in the gym and when he’s not being watched is when he does his real training.
Great video Andrew! Makes me want to start running again. Answered some key questions. What do you know about his breathing technique during running? Bill
Great question Bill! When watching fights, you might hear commentators say something along the lines of, "his mouth is hanging open. He's breathing with his mouth. He's tired". I can't generalize, but I believe most boxers including Mayweather, try to inhale with their noses and will exhale with their nose and/or mouth depending on preference, intensity, and situation (breathing with your mouth open can leave your jaw susceptible to a hard punch at the wrong time). During clinches in the ring, I believe Mayweather would often use that time to take deep breaths with his nose and exhale with his mouth. Mayweather is in such great condition, that on runs, unless the intensity is high, he could very well do mostly nose breathing and exhale with the mouth at times. He does however often leave his mouth open on runs. This could be to relax his jaw and/or he could be exhaling gently. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to run alongside Mayweather and find out firsthand. Wouldn't that be something? :-)
I attempted to capture tips just as you did but only figured out that one of his preferred running shoe was a Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2. Can't find those anymore but it was an excellent shoe and I achieved many long distance rides on those.
As I've got older and tried to return to running a few times, I've found where I went wrong is trying too much too soon into a training programme. I achieved my old speed a couple of years back through pure patience, going really slowly for weeks and weeks, even not being ashamed to stop to walk to catch breathers at the beginning of the programme. It became effortless eventually, but, life and work gets in the way, so I got busier again.
Great information in your comment: Patience, listening to your body, gradually doing more, and being okay with going slower when necessary and even stopping to walk.
Ive only seen this type of in depth research on SPRINTING! never jogging for regular training. This video really makes me want to get out there and run! Plus another cool thing i learned about floyd. Great great stuff. Thank you..

@@thewayofthejumprope ayee you know your boxing 👏🏿 😏 with that. Comment. Brother Richardson was my neighbor in north Philadelphia, definitely a role model for the youth ✊🏿💪🏿
I’d say start slow, maybe see how efficient you can run a quarter or half mile and try to get that same time for about 5-7 reps with a 90 second cool down between each rep.
I believe this just helped me a lot. I do most of this already but my feet do land heel first. It's worse on a treadmill. It clicked that's why it's harder for me than outside. I'm going to try and land flatter and see.
That's great! Some people do fine heel striking but for others it puts the break on their stride a bit and is too much impact on the body. I hope the adjustment helps you.
I enjoy running a lot, but recently, slight knee, hip, and ankle pain result after about 15 minutes in. Im sure all these tips you've highlighted in the video will correct the form. Think ive been over striding and running with tension. Floyd looks smooth and almost effortless in his form. I must adopt all these techniques. Thanks for this, seriously. I was going off running because of the pain but now theres hope🎉🎉🎉

The position of the arms I think comes from the fact that he is a boxer, I have practiced boxing and they teach you to run almost as if you were on guard and throwing a jab from time to time, if you run down the street like that maybe you can attract too much attention and lower your hands a little to avoid it, by the way the relaxed hands, I think it is due to the habit of having the hands relaxed before hitting and just at the moment of launching the blow close them, to create tension in the wrist and avoid injuries, in addition to hitting harder because it goes from a state of relaxation to one of contraction.
Hey Jorge, I thought the same as you; not clenching the hands has it's benefits for running and even while at rest, but it's certainly possible that he developed the habit through boxing.
There is a secret key to long distance running that is rarely talked about. The key is to CONTROL your breathing at the tempo of a Metronome. For example: for every 2 steps you take, you INHALE through your NOSE (as your feet hit the ground) and for every 4th step you EXHALE (as your feet hit the ground). You will notice a considerable difference in how further you can run without getting tired, also it helps with not getting bugs in your throat. It's the technique I used to complete my first Ultra Marathon last year. So again: INHALE - Nose INHALE - Nose EXHALE - Mouth EXHALE - Mouth (Repeat)
I'm a former DI distance runner and I always thought he had great form. You can also tell his traps and shoulders aren't tense. That saps a lot of energy too.
There's a lot more to running than people realise, it's very technical and for the perfect runs you must be at one with it and after a certain amount of time of refusing to give up your body will help you run all night, look at ultramarathon runners, 200 mile runs for example but myself I think ultra running is dangerous
@@Remingtonrighthand__ yeah just common logic proves its dangerous, I mean it's okay for personal achievement once or a couple of times to complete a tournament or win something, but not regularly, 5-6 miles couple of times a week is good enough, even that for the average person is serious training
Yes, from a health perspective, no need to regularly cover an excessive number of miles/kilometers. There are indeed many reasons to take part in endurance running events but health is not necessarily one of them.

Thanks man! Glad you liked it. Yeah, it's definitely a relaxed way of running. Going a bit slower can ultimately make you go farther faster and with less pain.
@@thewayofthejumprope I Agree!
Great analysis! Those were very subtle things in invisible to the unobservant but those "little things" were all the difference. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
could you do a video on Tyson Fury running, he does serious milage as well, and he's 6"9 and very heavy
@AAA IXV He runs miles and is huge, downing wilder in the 3rd round is not relying on expenditure, his recovery ability is insane. Stamina is built from running and if he was a junkie as you put it he has overcome more. doubt mayweather ever done a line of coke, doesn't seem the type
@@jonspecialb6746 He used his size on Wilder.
The face expresses the mind. His face is relaxed because his mind is relaxed, even in pain. A relaxed mind will relax all areas of the body so there isn’t unnecessary tension and stress.
Agreed. Well said Mazi.
@@thewayofthejumprope why thank you. I say more things in my channel you feel me?
Great vid and insight, thanks ! Will try this right away, as I'm trying to get those miles' endurance for muay thai but I struggle with joints pain
Thank you Marco. I'm delighted you enjoyed the video and hope you find the information helpful.
Very informal break down!! Nice work will put this into action on my next run
Steven Segal has a good method too. He is a bit more technical but pretty effective.
😆 Segal never takes his own advice
WOW thats a really helpful content, unlike th classic 10 tips for running that i saw in others channels
That's great Zebastian. Glad you found the video helpful.
Good things,

Educative video, thanks showing example of great boxer way of running, thanks for the wonderful video.
Thank you, Srinivas, for your wonderful comment.
Thank you. I always get plantar fascitis and other pains from running. I just did it anyway cause I needed to condition for wrestling.
Thanks Mikey. I hope the information is helpful.
Floyd’s dedication and commitment even when he’s at the top or not being watched is 2nd to no one. He stays in the gym and when he’s not being watched is when he does his real training.
Totally agree with you on that one James.
This video helped me have the first pain free run in years. Thank you.
That is awesome to hear! I'm delighted you found the video helpful. Thanks for sharing your success. Wishing you more of the same.
Great video. I get pain when i run long distance so i will definetly be practicing this form.
Great video Andrew!
Makes me want to start running again. Answered some key questions. What do you know about his breathing technique during running?
Bill
Great question Bill!
When watching fights, you might hear commentators say something along the lines of, "his mouth is hanging open. He's breathing with his mouth. He's tired".
I can't generalize, but I believe most boxers including Mayweather, try to inhale with their noses and will exhale with their nose and/or mouth depending on preference, intensity, and situation (breathing with your mouth open can leave your jaw susceptible to a hard punch at the wrong time). During clinches in the ring, I believe Mayweather would often use that time to take deep breaths with his nose and exhale with his mouth.
Mayweather is in such great condition, that on runs, unless the intensity is high, he could very well do mostly nose breathing and exhale with the mouth at times. He does however often leave his mouth open on runs. This could be to relax his jaw and/or he could be exhaling gently.
Maybe one day I'll get a chance to run alongside Mayweather and find out firsthand. Wouldn't that be something? :-)
I attempted to capture tips just as you did but only figured out that one of his preferred running shoe was a Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2. Can't find those anymore but it was an excellent shoe and I achieved many long distance rides on those.
Amazing observation. You learned from the best ever. Great video
Thank you for this video. May the Most High God bless you
Thank you Justin
As I've got older and tried to return to running a few times, I've found where I went wrong is trying too much too soon into a training programme. I achieved my old speed a couple of years back through pure patience, going really slowly for weeks and weeks, even not being ashamed to stop to walk to catch breathers at the beginning of the programme. It became effortless eventually, but, life and work gets in the way, so I got busier again.
Great information in your comment: Patience, listening to your body, gradually doing more, and being okay with going slower when necessary and even stopping to walk.
Ive only seen this type of in depth research on SPRINTING! never jogging for regular training. This video really makes me want to get out there and run!
Plus another cool thing i learned about floyd. Great great stuff. Thank you..
Really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow great video, i do the loose hand thing plus the short stride will add the other things in. thank u. 🤟🤟🤟
A great breakdown. Thans a lot❤
Great breakdown, thanks
Thank you JL
Floyd is a master at not wasting energy.
Sir, your content is very helpful for us. Keep up the good work👍
I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you find the content helpful.
Ok 👌🏼, I’ve never 👎 heard anyone breakdown running🏃 like this. Awesome 😎 👏🏼 !! I’ll try it.
Awesome! Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great breakdown
Great observations and video!!!
Any suggestion on make/type of sneaker for this running style? Great info in this video!
Excellent knowledge....thanks!
Thank you Eddie. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Life changing video
Delighted to hear you found it so helpful. Thanks for sharing Cody.
Ive been having shin splints pain and currently working the tibialis anterior exercises. Hopefully this running technique with further assist me running injury free.
Hey there, I recommend this video for shin splints:

Phenomenal video bro
Much appreciated Ryan, thank you.
Good shit. Ty so much
Great analysis
Thank you Rones. Glad you enjoyed the video.
This is how i won the girls 1500 meter race on sports day and was the only one left running for 3 laps that were left, i just kept going😆i used to run to and from school most days..It's Amazing seeing Floyd do this too 😁❤i dunno how but i guess it was just in my dna to run like that...i just became relaxed with the ground and terrain. Like a Lion 🦁 as i am a Leo ♌️ lol, anyway you did a great vid here💯
Have you looked at the way he swims? This is amazing!
As the late boxing trainer Naazim Richardson would say, swim without getting wet.
@@thewayofthejumprope ayee you know your boxing 👏🏿 😏 with that. Comment. Brother Richardson was my neighbor in north Philadelphia, definitely a role model for the youth ✊🏿💪🏿
Awesome
On top of it all your metabolism goes a long way, but overall the ability to work things through with high IQ is the greatest gift 🎁
Best thing thay help me to date is slow jogging concept and use of trampoline for injury prevention
Great breakdown, man. Thanks a lot.
I learned from David Goggins. He said not to unnecessarily move the upper body like the shoulder arms etc. Just make it less effortful.
Thank you for this! Any tips on how to practice running? e.g. how long to run for, sets, rest periods
i started running from 2km, and went to 15km
I’d say start slow, maybe see how efficient you can run a quarter or half mile and try to get that same time for about 5-7 reps with a 90 second cool down between each rep.
I run in Vibrams Five Fingers shoes, which helped with my running
Thanks for vid!
Thanks Todd. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I am an avid jogger and this was helpful. Loved the vid.
Great to hear that! The technique tips certainly helped me and I'm delighted that the video is helping others too. Thanks for sharing.
I believe this just helped me a lot. I do most of this already but my feet do land heel first. It's worse on a treadmill. It clicked that's why it's harder for me than outside. I'm going to try and land flatter and see.
That's great! Some people do fine heel striking but for others it puts the break on their stride a bit and is too much impact on the body. I hope the adjustment helps you.
I enjoy running a lot, but recently, slight knee, hip, and ankle pain result after about 15 minutes in.
Im sure all these tips you've highlighted in the video will correct the form. Think ive been over striding and running with tension.
Floyd looks smooth and almost effortless in his form. I must adopt all these techniques. Thanks for this, seriously. I was going off running because of the pain but now theres hope🎉🎉🎉
Awesome to hear that! I wish you running sessions free of pain.
Good things,
Andrew

Can these cues apply to the treadmill? I seen Floyd put in treadmill work in some videos.
Yes. He runs in a similar fashion on treadmills.
when you relax the body, your body will tell you everything you need to know.
Well said!
I did this and ran a eazy 9 miles and I was running 3 miles !!! That’s crazy 😯
Brian, that's awesome!
Proves that technique id very important
Me gustaria saber q dice pero no se ingles
The position of the arms I think comes from the fact that he is a boxer, I have practiced boxing and they teach you to run almost as if you were on guard and throwing a jab from time to time, if you run down the street like that maybe you can attract too much attention and lower your hands a little to avoid it, by the way the relaxed hands, I think it is due to the habit of having the hands relaxed before hitting and just at the moment of launching the blow close them, to create tension in the wrist and avoid injuries, in addition to hitting harder because it goes from a state of relaxation to one of contraction.
Hey Jorge, I thought the same as you; not clenching the hands has it's benefits for running and even while at rest, but it's certainly possible that he developed the habit through boxing.
@@thewayofthejumprope i used to sprint at a fairly high level and we were taught not to clench the hands as its wasted energy and thumbs up aswell.
Great stuff, is this also better for the ankles since you don't land toes first therfor less stretch and strain?
I WILL TRY IT
I just tested this and it works solid information
Hey Brody, great to hear that.
Today I started my first day of running
Best animations for running
Thank you.
Thanks Joe. Glad you enjoyed it.

Great video!
There is a secret key to long distance running that is rarely talked about. The key is to CONTROL your breathing at the tempo of a Metronome. For example: for every 2 steps you take, you INHALE through your NOSE (as your feet hit the ground) and for every 4th step you EXHALE (as your feet hit the ground). You will notice a considerable difference in how further you can run without getting tired, also it helps with not getting bugs in your throat. It's the technique I used to complete my first Ultra Marathon last year. So again:
INHALE - Nose
INHALE - Nose
EXHALE - Mouth
EXHALE - Mouth
(Repeat)
Thanks
I'll try that thankyou
I'm a former DI distance runner and I always thought he had great form. You can also tell his traps and shoulders aren't tense. That saps a lot of energy too.
There's a lot more to running than people realise, it's very technical and for the perfect runs you must be at one with it and after a certain amount of time of refusing to give up your body will help you run all night, look at ultramarathon runners, 200 mile runs for example but myself I think ultra running is dangerous
Scientifically is dangerous which is why they give people more time to complete them now
@@Remingtonrighthand__ yeah just common logic proves its dangerous, I mean it's okay for personal achievement once or a couple of times to complete a tournament or win something, but not regularly, 5-6 miles couple of times a week is good enough, even that for the average person is serious training
Yes, from a health perspective, no need to regularly cover an excessive number of miles/kilometers.
There are indeed many reasons to take part in endurance running events but health is not necessarily one of them.
I was told to focus on pushing off with my toes and engaging my calf muscles more to build up ring endurance.
More people need to see this
Thank you for that!
@@thewayofthejumprope thank you for your informative video, keep them coming
I just learned something new👍
Great to hear that, Ignacio, thank you for sharing.
