    Absolutely agree with so much of this. Absolutely disagree about the shoes.
    As a runner, your legs are your currency. Your feet, they’re like the change. Look after the pennies, the pounds look after themselves. I rack up around 160 miles a month, and spend about 75 quid on shoes (same pair every time) that last around 400 miles before I start to feel the difference that they’re wearing through. It means I need new shoes every 3 months, but that’s way better than getting injured and having to not run for months.

      I'm finding that exercise is really stigmatized with all the "get shredded in 10 days!" type stuff. After starting to work out, I'm realizing it's mainly a mental thing. It's something you don't hear about as much.

    This might've been the most important video I've ever watched. I decided to try running after watching this video. My mom signed me up for track after seeing me run (I guess she ran track or something in highschool) and though I was initially against it, I tried it and here I am several years later. I've ran 2 years of track and am now starting my 2nd year of cross country, and I just saw this video pop up in my recommended again, and just wanted to thank Exurb1a for introducing me to running.

    This video canged my life. (story) i wached this video a year ago, but it never left my head. Jumping back to today, i had my first 5km run, i ran to a pond near my sisters house. First i made some coffe, ate some sandwiches and, was bored, really bored. My phone was out pof battery. So i went outside. I was kind of sad abaut my life. I stomped on bird-poo so i didnt want to wear shoes, so i told my brother i will go swimming. I said to myself to not stop running. I ran on some rocky floor and cut myself a few times, but didnt stop. When i finally got to the pond, my heart was beating and i felt like a boss. I have never felt so proud in my life. As i was swimming i truly felt happy, the consept of time disapeard, i only felt joy swimming. While i was in the water fish started biting my shaking feet. It was tickeling. My feet were shaking, but i ran back, i wanted to feel proud agin and i sure did. I ran back, it was the best feeling. When i got home i took a cold shower. I felt like a man. 5km for my 4th day as a 14yr old is a big acomplishment for me. Thanks for making this video.

I had periods where I couldn't run and felt like shit, found other stuff to do, recently I've finally been able to get back into running and I just wanna thank you for flipping a switch in my mind 6 years ago. If it wasn't for running and in turn you, I'd probably still be overweight.

I've qualified for sectionals twice but didn't go state. That's fine. There's next year. This video helped start my love for running and it's what I do for fun. But now I've come to a fork in my life and I must make a pretty big decision (at least a big decision for a 17yro). I must choose to either spend senior year with my closest friends, or become a foreign exchange student in Germany and go with the girl I like. I've never had to make this big a decision before, and I'm scared. I didn't know how I was going to choose, but you've helped remind me that there's a way. Running. I'm going for a long run. I justed wanted to thank you for reminding and motivating me again years later.

I feel like they speak to me in a very direct way, touching on topics that are swimming in my noodle all the time. It's comforting to hear someone else say the same things I think about and you sir, wield language like the words are folded steel and you are a samurai warrior. I just walked into my flat after an early morning run and thought I'd watch one quick short one before breakfast (I already sound like an addict negotiating with myself about my next fix) I click on the video youtube has recommended and it's a spot-on explanation of why I go running and I listen to much of the music you mention as well.

      Matthew Greer Those thoughts are like a wall. Everyday you run you are slowly climbing over the wall, and the harder and more consistently you run the faster you can get over the wall. Once you have finally gotten over that wall running will start to be fun and you will feel good.

      @@Niphredyl Wow it's crazy I left that comment a year ago. Just yesterday I ran a 21 minute 5k, a year ago I was 60lbs heavier running 50 minute 5ks. The only reason I run is because I don't entirely enjoy running while running, but I crave running when I'm not. I love the improvement that comes along with it. It's just great to feel better because of the added health benefits. I'm obviously not any kind of speed demon but pushing my limits is great to experience. If you don't like running, don't run. At the end of the day do what makes you happy. Try other activities such as biking or swimming maybe.

    It's definitely built into our genetics to run. I mean look at us. We're half legs. I genuinely think it is likely that proper exercise is not only important to "keep fit", but is actually crucial for proper development of the brain. Kids have this natural tendency to want to run around like mad whenever they get the chance. They're not being "hyper", they're being human. Yet slowly over time we drill it into them that they need to "sit still", "stop running" and "behave". By the time most people are adults they've had the desire to run well and truly knocked out of them. Then we wonder why there is an obesity problem.
    I my opinion, the very first thing primary school kids should do when they show up in the morning is whatever they want for the first 2 hours. Let them run around like mad in the play ground from 9 until 11. Let them get it all out of their system. After that, they'd probably me more likely to sit down and pay attention in class, rather than constantly wanting to know when break is so they can.. you know... run around.

    • @smokinghorsey9
      @smokinghorsey9 6 років тому +43

      Children are natural runners and they do just run. They have to be told to stop running. I'm not suggesting that the first thing kids should do in the morning is go for a 5 mile run. I'm suggesting that kids should have 2 hours of free time in the playground where most of them do run around. Proper conditioning is necessary to be able to pull off long distance running. However, most adults are exhausted by running for even 30 seconds. That is partly due to an increasing amount of inactivity as we move towards adulthood. We spend more and more time sitting.

      Once you've been running for like 10 minutes you suddenly don't care about what other people think of you, because you realize that they don't actually care! When you see someone running do you pay them any mind? Probably not, maybe if they're quite attractive. And if they're overweight, I just feel like silently cheering them on as they're trying to do something about it. Win-win.

      The best thing to do is just stop and give a firm NO. Most dogs aren't trying to attack you; they just get excited by fast-moving things. And even if they are trying to attack you, pretty much any dog is going to be able to outrun a human so continuing to run won't help either.
      BONUS: if you stay still long enough for the owner to catch up and leash them, you can give them judgey looks and/or comments thus ruining their walk (revenge!)
      As a person whose dog chases runners, sorry man. He really isn't trying to fuck you up, he just likes running and is excited that you like running too and kind of annoyed that I don't like running. I think he's trying to tell me something. Anyway, he's getting better but terriers are stubborn. Some breeds have a strong chasing instinct (and some owners have a strong stupidity instinct and let their chasey dogs off lead in busy areas).

I just feel without thinking at all, and although it doesn't help me overcome my problems it is pretty refreshing and enjoyable.
