      Was definitely guilty of every run had to be the fastest run ever when I first started out. Also buying ALL the gear, because I like to be over prepared for every possible situation. So much money wasted on stuff I never used. 😅

      Great video. "Comparing to others" could be its own mistake, IMO. Some people probably aren't as susceptible, but I definitely can catch some feels looking at other people's stravas and then push an easy run too hard.
      Totally agree with believing every run has to be amazing, which for me also is being too "data/numbers obsessed" (together with "expecting results too soon"). Early on, I would get mad if my garmin said "unproductive" or my V02 estimate stagnated. Now, I just enjoy the process and keep it moving.
      Finally, prioritizing training, but not recovery. You allude to it in the "cooldown" section, but focusing on sleep, rest days, and being proactive about any early onset of injuries is key. I just ran through stuff back in the day and ended up injured unable to run for a few months.

    I don't know if you'd call it a mistake, but thinking progress is linear and that you will see improvements week by week. When I first started running, I was around a 12:00 mile pace for 5 miles and got down to 10:00-10:30 within a month or so. But then I just stayed there for nearly half a year. Every time I tried to push it faster, my heartrate would skyrocket and I would exhaust myself.
    I think it was the aerobic basebuilding (or lackof). Something eventually just clicked and I started making progress again.

    • @taylorlayton4508

    I've got a marathon this year. But been plaqued with injury and depression due to work. I am focussing on getting my mental state ready before my main running, by doing power walks early in morning. This has 2 benefits, 1 it gets you up and ready to go out and 2 it gets you to push yourself with pushing injuries.

    • @runningchannel
      @runningchannel  Рік тому

      Sounds like a brilliant plan Ralph! Your mental state is so important 💪 We really hope you start to feel better soon.

    • @taylorlayton4508
      @taylorlayton4508 Рік тому +1

      I listened to a book called "ultra mindset" and the first principle was "it's all good mental training", or put differently - mental training - "it's all good" (the mental training is staying positive and resilient, developing the attitude that it is all good). Definitely recommend the book.
      Mental state is crucial, especially in things as intense as marathon training and racing. Good on ya, good luck staying injury free. Sorry about work, hopefully the walks and runs help give you a little respite from those stresses.

  • @cars92dtb
    @cars92dtb Рік тому +3

    *not every run has to be amazing*
    last week - 17.1 miles with hills - amazing!
    today - 17.6 miles with NO hills - horrible. I stopped 11 times and nearly collapsed onto a park bench at the end.
    Upped the pace and had less than 6 hours sleep which are the reasons why.
    No regrets, but more something to learn is that those tough days where it's stop/start or you are having a painful time are the days you truly grow and get better.
    Not all runs have to be amazing, but those that aren't might just be the most important ones you get done.

    My first marathon happened “by accident”. After months of running 3x10km a week I realized I wasn’t getting better (lots of beginner’s mistakes made like doing every run at the same pace); I really had no idea what I was doing. So to get more structure in my training I started a half marathon plan on Garmin; didn’t like it, moved to a marathon plan on Strava, loved it. Then at some point in the plan I realized I could actually run a marathon so I signed up for Amsterdam in 2021. The rest is history 😄

  • @taylorlayton4508
    @taylorlayton4508 Рік тому +2

    I think the biggest mistake is that people run too hard, coupled with a view that walking means you are a failure. Whether you are strategically run/walking for endurance, using it to keep HR down in an aerobic zone, or just gassed on a run and needing a walk -- take your time, enjoy the run, have fun. Be patient with the build up, and run most runs easy even if that means a slower pace than you think you should be running(incl. walking)

  • @CaptainBrash
    @CaptainBrash Рік тому +1

    My advice for running goals if you start to do a certain race (marathon, half marathon, etc)
    Don't make running the race your primary goal, make forming the habits your goal, so that you don't feel unmotivated to continue after you finish the race. Anyone within reason can run a marathon, the thing that sets you apart and makes you special is if you manage to make running a habit that you continue whether you are training for something or not. If you need a marathon to springboard you into changing your lifestyle then go for it but have a plan for after the marathon! (Obviously I'm not trying to downplay what an amazing achievement a marathon is)
    Maybe add in some more speed workouts and try to use your amazing aerobic engine you've built up to get some easy 1 mile, 5k, 10k, half marathon personal bests. A personal best feels amazing at any distance and a few weeks after a marathon is a perfect time to really get into it. And it helps reinforce the mindset that you are a runner now, and the importance of process goals over output goals. Remember to keep doing the long run though! It's the most important run no matter what distance you train at, even 1 mile athletes still do 10-15 mile long runs.

I don't think couch to marathon in 12 weeks is the best way to go, but I did couch to 50k in 7 months in 2020 with no problem, finished injury free, had a blast, and such a feeling of pride, and opened the door to many wonderful adventures and new friends- things I would still be waiting for if I'd waited 2-3 years.

I was meant to do a 5k but felt good and thought I’d try my first 10k. I did it and felt great but the next day realised my body wasn’t ready. I’m still not running after a week and keeping the weight off my hip. At least I’ve had time to watch your videos to get inspired and avoid the mistakes in the future.

    Great video. I've posted recently about mistake #8 - it's that time of year where I get a lot of clients saying "I've got a marathon place in four months and want to start running, can you make me a plan?". No! Want to get into running? Great! Want to run a marathon one day? Great! But they're not the same thing. I take issue with the phrase "anyone can run a marathon" - they can, *if* they've got into a good running habit and done the miles, regardless of pace. I respect people who run 6-7 hour marathons but I don't like it when people say they don't need to train because they'll "just do it slowly" - Kipchoge never ran a 6 hour run, and it's a brutal length of time to spend on your feet. A 6hr marathon takes more training than a 3hr marathon, not less. Lots of slower runners put a huge effort into their training and have a good experience of their marathon, a lot of faster runners think they can wing it and get into trouble. Running a marathon is like climbing Everest - it's a great achievement but dangerous if you're unprepared. One step at a time!

    An important one to add: choose the right clothes for the right session and circumstances.
    If you are to hot/cold or wet/dry during a session it will demotivate you very fast.
    Also important: drinking and eating the right things at the right time.
    You will regret it if you eat/drink (too much) too close to a session or eat things that will cause gas.

      Great tips Bart! What do you like to eat before a session?

    • @bartb217
      @bartb217 Рік тому

      ​@@runningchannel Depends on the session and what kind of fuel the pace and distance uses. Races: Pasta and lots of water the evening before, lots of "sugar" in the morning and no more food from 3 hours before and depending on the length 1 Maurten gel 10 minutes before the start. Fast training sessions: no more food 2 hours before and lots of "sugar" at breakfast and lunch and no food that causes gas (like cauliflower). Slow and long runs: no more food 1,5 hours before, less "sugar" and more "fat" and I will eat like 25% more. After races and fast sessions: always cheese cake or other foods with lots of proteins shortly after the session for good and faster recovery with less "pain" and less fatigue.
      You can have a lot of influence on how a session goes and feels (also afterwards) by eating and drinking the right things at the right time.

    If you're in shape and coming to running from another sport, don't change too much too soon. I went from playing soccer (football for the Brits ;) ) year round to training for a running race and almost immediately got an injury because all at once, I changed my shoes (soccer cleats/football boots don't have a heel to toe drop like traditional running shoes), the running surface (lots more concrete because I didn't have easy access to trails), and the incline (we didn't run medium to long hills in soccer/football). Gradually change one thing at a time and give your body time to adapt to it before making another change.

    I really like, that the bike is an old steel road bike, that can be found in the back of anyone grandparents garage, or bought really cheap, and not an all singing dancing carbon fiber wonder of modern technology. cycling can sometimes seem, that in order to start, you need the latest and greatest, when in reality unless you're at the pointy end of a race, it just does not matter that much.

    The only people who will actually care about your running are the ones who want to support you and you'll care about 10x more than anyone else. Go run, don't go so fast you don't enjoy it, you'll improve but it might take a few weeks/months and good luck! 🎉

    I have started "running" so many times. This time last year I started and after about 4 weeks and maybe 10 or 12 runs I managed to get up to running 5k in about 31 mins, but I found it so hard, heart rate at max and chest, legs burning, pouring with sweat, it was not a pleasant experience... every run seemed like a huge really hard effort and it was far too easy to skip and then lose interest, so this has video been really useful. I think I was trying too much too soon, i had this target of 5k in 30 mins in mind and all I did was try and do that and inevitably failed, so this year I might try and take it slower, more variation, try that couch to 5k app and then move on from there... I still can't even see myself being able to run for more than 5k without sky rocketing my heart rate and smashing my legs

      Something similar happened to me years ago and I stopped running. But I've found that doing treadmill and shooting for X time (e.g. 50 minutes) at Y Heart Rate (e.g. around 180bpm) relieves a lot of that pressure when doing set distances, and you get to know your body better as well

    One: did not make it - not rich enough, started running in my tennis gear which is not a great idea either. Two: not done until year two and saw it coming. Three: No problem with this one as I was trying to adjust my daughters plan paces to my own capabilities but only real got it in year 3 (now). I have a particular take on this one. I think the various paces take experience to experience and even more experience to master. I am not there yet. Four: nope. Got average advice first and then very good one for pair number two in a small boutique shop. Five: agree and did it: in my experience tennis matches are NOT cross training and make matters worse. Six: Past 50 as a new runner, warming up happens naturally, otherwise the run does not but the injury does. Seven: Good services and bad services days in tennis - that one applies in every discipline, including barrister (which I am not so it happens even more to me making an espresso). Eight: Marathon? I might head for a half in year three (2023), but only if I can fit it in and increase an already decent mileage and only because I had long runs close and felt I could go on. Nine? Subscribed - problem solved ;-)

    My tips would be first: to take every negative thought, word phrase and emotion to the nearest dustbin and imagine throwing them all in the bin, walking away and forgetting them. Negativity just acts as an anchor to hold you back and amplify that naughty negative inner voice that wants you to stop running and loves to tell you "see I told you you couldn't do that".
    Another tip is to realise no run is ever a failure. In truth there are only two possible outcomes. Either we win when the run goes well or we learn something that will help us win next time when it doesn't go to plan.

    Running shoe sizes. My experience: running shoes are *the same but different* sizes with different brands! Also an extreme f'rinstance: 2 pairs of Asics, same *type* alleged same size.... totally (totally) differently sized ie 1 pair = 1 or even 2 sizes too small! Why? Noticed they were manufactured in different countries: surely Asics would have tight controls on that... hey, ho!
    I now use the European sizes which are more accurate for sizing (in my experience) 47 (tho... sometimes 46ish...or not! ) 🤔
