    Super helpful Alex. Slowing down can definitely speed you up! The other tips I would give would be trying to be more mindful and kind to yourself 😁

    Great video! Concept is applicable to any sport, IMO.. I started running in my 20’s to lose weight (dr’s orders), and got hooked on the endorphin high. I’d run even in the Arizona summer , 100+ degrees Fahrenheit and loved it. But yes, you definitely nailed it about beginning running too fast will leave a bad taste in your mouth about the sport and it can do more damage than good. Knowledge is Power! Good content 👍

      Thanks James, definitely. And did it sort the weight loss for you? That must have been difficult to begin with? The endorphin high is a great selling point actually, it's just getting there ha!

      @@alexreader I think my incentive came from being way too heavy and getting diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 😑. It was actually a Godsend and since my switch to a healthier lifestyle, I’m no longer diabetic 💪
