Great advice. Listening to your body is an art in itself. Every runner has a threshold of weekly mileage/intensity and if you push too much past it you will get injured. Steady and consistent progression is key. Be patient and remember where you have come from and appreciate what you have already achieved up to this point. Have realistic goals and never stop believing and having fun when training. :)
Well said and done. We should run first, to be healthy: strenghten our bones, joints , heart, lungs, muscles and our PRs will come as a piece of cake. HEALTH should be our main motivation for running.
Thanks again! I have been following your injury prevention program for several weeks now and it's been great. I have a tendency to overdo my training and slowing down my runs has been priceless!
I believe you! I am three and a half in running years (52 really) but did a lot of damage in my first six months of running. With physio, lots of reading and advice like this I am finally getting on a track where I feel good to go each day. Training to be able to train the next day and the next seems to be a good place to live.
Thank you for really emphasizing this! Over the years I’ve tried to help friends and family with starting to run, but they burn out too fast due to improper injury prevention. I feel like the bad associations with running are mostly due to training too hard too fast and not being consistent.
Half of the game is hitting a literal sore spot and overcoming and improving from it. Improvement over a long period of time always wins and keeps you injury free.
I want to try my first marathon this year. My problem is that i am pretty prone to lower leg pain when my milage is above 40 km/week. Therefore I want to train with a large portion of biking to supplement the running 25-45km with about 100 km of biking a week. Which should give me 5-8 h of training total. Unfortunately I don't find much structured training plans for high amount of cross training. About me I run a half marathon "without training" at 1:45:00, coming out of 2020 with 5000 km biking and 125 km of running. When reducing the running portion should I cut out the "easy runs" or some "key sessions". Atm it's random. Maybe you can recommend a training plan?

Consistent running for sure. That helps with injury prevention
If I run everyday I rarely get hurt
Absolutely, I'm a firm believer to be consistent, and gauge ones abilities as we progress.

Thank you for this video, I’m injured right now and I never want to get injured again!
Big brother is watching / my main aim this year is consistency ,all of a sudden I am getting videos on consistency
Such great advice! My easy days are basically warming up my body to keep loose in order to go hard on the other days.
