    I literally just came back from running and I just want to say: if you’re worried that people are going to look at you, just wake up at 5-6-7 am and do the jogging then. I’ve done my first ever jog at 6am today, I didn’t see a single soul- except a cute snail I named Tony.

      Well, at the track I go to, it’s mostly just a bunch of severely overweight people walking, so I feel like I’m always in the top 95% even if I can only manage to jog like 0.5 miles. That’s one strategy to use if you’re self conscious about your pace.
      Then again, I think most runners/joggers are not judgmental towards others making an effort. For example, I am happy that the obese guy I lapped four times over one mile is out there walking because it means that he is making a very good effort to be healthier and improve. That’s what matter most; improvement relative to yourself, not relative to other people.

      Hell yeah, love this tip. I used to do cross country and long distance track in middle/high school and that's exactly what you would do at the end of a race - finish strong. Now in my 20s, I'll really push myself to sprint at the end of my run to give myself that high of finishing a race, even if I'm just running alone on a treadmill. That feeling of accomplishment puts a huge smile on my face!

      Black182heart, yes & no. Like you said more incompetent beginners however trail running is far better on the joints than what road running is, often trails are uneven in other areas. If you suffer joint pain and want to run then trail running offers you a platform to do so within some extent, or atleast far more friendly than road

    My tips !
    1. Get a gooooood playlist going! When I’m really into my music I always find my runs are usually longer and faster
    2. Find your time of day. I’m personally not a really early morning person or evening person, my best runs are mid morning
    3. Get lost in your thoughts! Sometimes when I’m thinking about other things I forget I’m even running and a mile can go by before I think about running again
    4. When you really start to tire out and are having a hard time, concentrate really hard on normalizing your breathing :)

    The 3 things that enabled me to massively improve my running capability were the following:
    1) SLOW DOWN!!!
    I was running way too fast, which was exhausting me very early. I've found that they best way to go is to start slower, and naturally increase pace as you go along if you wish. I know that sounds strange but it seems to be the case for me
    2) Get a better technique.
    This is very important too. With the correct technique (as shown in this video) you seem to just go faster with far less effort. Its amazing!
    3) Eat healthier
    Sounds cliche but Ive stopped eating sweat treats (biscuits, cakes... I still have honey and a bit of sugar though) and drinking caffeine. (I highly doubt the caffeine has had any effect on my running but the cutting down on sugar certainly has because I no longer get acid reflux while running.
    I have still got a bit of a problem with rib and shoulder pain that I haven't found a solution to yet but running with a good posture has definitely prolonged the pain until near the end of my run.
    This may not work for you but I just thought it may be a useful read. Thanks for reading!

Now I’m good and I don’t care what others think (I actually have caught myself singing out loud while I’m running) because I know I’m doing something to better myself and that’s good for me physically and emotionally.

      Trust me on this: nobody cares. Truly. When you see runners on the road where you are, how much time do you dedicate to making fun of them in your head? Probably not at all (unless you're a pretty garbage person, at which case I would encourage you to reevaluate some personal stuff). That's how it is when people see you run too! Truly, nobody cares. In fact, people might be inspired seeing you out there. When I always see a runner when I'm driving somewhere, I just think "man, they're awesome, I wish I could be out there right now too!"

    • @plushy9849
      @plushy9849 5 ปีที่แล้ว +92

      Same here. I just moved to a house with a big park in front and thought about jogging for the first time in my life. It helped to stake it out and watch a few other people doing it first. I've just started doing a few laps around it, as early as I can in the morning when there aren't too many people. My partner came with me, so that helped. We alternated between walking and running as I've realised it's much harder than I thought! I think in these situations, most people are just doing their own thing and it's only in our head that we think that people are watching - truth is, and this sounds harsh but it's helpful: we just aren't that interesting! ;-) As for the minority of people who might take an interest and feel the need to be mean - it's their problem and no decent person would ever want to give you a hard time for doing something to help yourself. It would speak volumes more about the naysayer than it would about you. Go for it!

    Tip 1. Get some good music to drown out yr breathing, if u can’t hear yrself breathing u can go on further.
    Tip 2. When starting out, if you are out on a run then at least yr not sitting on the couch. Achievement 1 done. Tip 3. Most people will be jealous that you are out running when they see you as they drive past in the car. Tip 4. Take each day as it comes, everyone has a bad run, but it is another one in the bank.

    My tips are as follows:
    1) Never ever wait for the trainer or running mate. Just put on the shoes and run.
    2) Ensure you drink lots of water after running. You have just lost water through sweating.
    3) Do not over-plan your route too much it ruins the adventure and excitement of running.
    4) Do not be bothered by what people think especially runners who are beginners and have a large body. Congratulate yourself because it shows you care about your life.
    5) Give the body a day or two to recover.
    6) Within a few days of running, you will immediately feel younger and better as the body restores your biological age. My waist pains, IBS, shoulder pains left immediately when I started running.
    7) Running extra miles will boost your esteem and confidence and this can be applied to other areas of your life.
    8) People like to say they are "too busy" to run. What if you made all that money and died of high blood pressure?

Started gaining weight like crazy. My skin was looking dull. Vision problems. Bloating. Skin rashes from leaky gut toxins. There a came a point where I couldn't eat anything sweet because a couple minutes after, my blood sugar spiked and then tanked. I started trembling and felt like I was going to have a panic attack. Probably not a good thing considering i'm driving an 80,000lbs vehicle.
      So I quit my job and started working to reverse everything. 2 in a half months after quitting, I lost 13lbs, I got rid of the rashes, I no longer get sugar spike/drops, vision is excellent .. of course I did a lot more than just running to reverse this.
      The point is all the money in the world isn't worth screwing your health over. Luckily tho, I made a little savings to I can go a couple months jobless :)

      Bina R - Sure. It wasn’t easy. First thing I did was a water fast for 3 days. Then, I got on a candida diet for a month and a half. It’s an extremely strict diet you can find the details on TH-cam. All I ate was tuna, salmon, chicken, and quinoa rice. And for supplements I took: Vitamin D3, vitamin K2, L-Glutamine, digestive enzymes, pro and prebiotics, oregano oil, Apple cider vinegar, bone broth, liquid chlorophyll , only drank distilled water and I also sweated a lot. Had to sweat out the toxins. Since I did this in the middle of winter, I couldn’t go out and run. So I grabbed a soccer ball and juggled it in my garage. You’d be surprised how good of a cardio work out that is.
      That’s pretty much everything I did.

    For beginners.
    -Get a good quality sleep
    -You must learn proper warm-up and stretches before and after your run for your body to avoid injuries and unnecessary pain...
    - before running i only drink half cup of coffee, it boost my energy and make me feel alive i guess.
    -before u run or jog make sure to start walking with maybe 10m walking or whenever u feel ir ready
    -dont lean ur body forward, keep it straight.
    -on ur first minute, try to breath only thru ur nose.
    -if ever ur exhausted dont open ur mouth too much while breathing..
    -breath deep, and exhale slowly.
    -dont think that u are tired. Dont look down, always forward and keep motivating urself while running.
    -good music helps too.
    ...sorri im not quite confident on my english. These things helps me a lot avoiding injuries and running longer on the track. God bless. Keep healthy 🤘

    Remember: we are always our worst critics.
    People couldn't care less about how you run/how sweaty you look. Using shyness as a reason to not go out for a run is merely an excuse to stay lazy. And if you happen to notice someone looking at you weird - and you don't know them - just stick up your middle finger and smile! At least one of you is moving their legs.

    No matter what gear you have (or don’t have), no matter what results you’ve achieved, no matter how you look while running.
    Just run in the way that makes you feel good about it. If you feel tired - take a rest. If you feel energetic - run more.
    You will just love it and want to run again and again.

      No one feels like pushing themselves to work harder. You may want to, but your body still isn't inclined to. You eventually have to sacrifice your feelings for hard work if you want to be successful. So it's not all sunshine and rainbows and running however you want all the time. That's how to *feel good.*
      But to be successful and progressive, you need to make sacrifices.

      @@its.ricobico Hi, that is called shin splints and is common in runners. Don't push yourself and ice it if it hurts. Consider running on softer surfaces.
      To avoid it, flex and point your feet as a stretch and there are also a few other stretches you can do.
      Here is my favorite: Sit on something and place your feet flat on the floor. Then lift your toes, keeping your heel on the floor. "Tap" the floor three times, and then hold your toes off the floor for a few seconds -still keeping your heel on the floor-. Repeat a few times. The best part is you can do it on a car ride, and practically anywhere.
      Hope this helped!

    As someone in the Army, I frequently run. When I first went to basic it was very tough. I was running a 22 1/2 minute two mile. However, due to basic training and literally being forced to run for 10 weeks straight, I was able to run 2 miles in 17 minutes. A year and a half later, I still struggle with running but I realized that's part of it. It's not easy especially seeing improvement. It takes time, dedication, and motivation. You have to really stick to it. Now I can run 2 miles in 15 minutes. There will be heavy breathing. You aren't resting when you're actively running. The trick is to control your breathing. I typically breathe with my steps. 3 steps breathing in, 2 steps breathing out. Also, the way your foot hits the ground is important. Do not strike your heel on the ground first. Should be pretty flat footed, almost toes first. This will help maintain your forward momentum. Do not run every single day. You will hurt yourself. Every other day works just fine.
    It's tough and first I thought I would never see improvement. Here I am proving myself wrong and you can too. Just don't quit. Period.

    Quit smoking cold Turkey 10 days ago and started jogging every morning for 4 days in a row now. Never felt better! 😊

    Edit 2: it's July 31/19 and I'm still tobacco/nicotine free (for those wondering how I am doing). And don't worry, I'm never touching a cigarette again. :)
    It was a hell of a journey (and still is!) I hit my first 5k about a month ago, which was my goal. I'm now more heavily focused on resistance training but I'll still do cardio once a week.
    To those who are trying to quit smoking as well, you can definitely achieve it! For me, my goal was to run 5k without rest and I know for a fact if I smoked it would have hindered my progress to achieve my goal. So with that mindset it allowed me to stay focused and consistent with my workout. Everytime I got tired it was a reminder of what I did to my lungs and I'd use that exhaustion to push myself each day.
    And wow I've never had so many likes and comments on a TH-cam video before. Thank you everyone! I hope I have inspired you on your fitness journey. 💪☺️

    Great running tips, Caty! Thanks for sharing :) In addition to running shoes, I'd also suggest picking up some good running socks. When I first started out running regularly I'd just wear the first socks that came to hand, and the blisters sucked! Good socks felt like a luxury purchase at the time, but made ALL the difference.

Then, a few months ago, even though I have asthma I decided to start running. It was very hard in the begining, because I havent ever exercised in my life, and due to asthma, but now, a few months later, I can run about 9km in 40minutes, and I think it is a great improvement in just 2-3 months, and I am excited to see what I can do next and how I can be even better.

      You know what's interesting about that?

So now I just warm up with a brisk walk before I actually start running, which I love! Definitely like stretching afterwards though, for sure.

    So, when I started running, i got a garmin and logged everything. I ran 3-4x a week. I did all my runs at an easy conversation pace. After about a year I was still struggling...every run was hard. I went back and looked over my logs to see what i was doing wrong. This is what I found 1) My average pace was way faster than when I started and my average heart rate was way lower. The progress was so subtle that my body was constantly adjusting for that "easy" conversation pace as I naturally became healthier and faster without actually trying to get faster. My advise to those struggling, STICK WITH IT!

    As you run longer and longer, you’ll learn the difference between regular running discomfort you can push through, and an injury you must take a break for. Through some discouraging trial and error, you will learn the absolute limit you can push your body to, and when you can tell yourself “just one more mile.” Sharp, persistent, or sudden pain is not normal when running. Aching and soreness may be something you can learn to ignore. But if you feel in your gut that you shouldn’t push yourself because your legs hurt too bad, stop. It’s better to be out of running for two weeks than three months.

    • @twofish7939

      absolutely right, I trained up to a point where I could flawlessly run 12 miles in under 2 hours. I am not an overweight person but not skinny either. My feet took a turn for the worst as the run back I felt a sting on the top mid of my foot following the big toe. It's that big bump everyone has on their right foot. Anyways, I felt this pain and sure enough I wasn't able to walk pretty much at all without it hurting unbearably bad. Creams and foot support helped a little, but I knew I had to take a break. 3 months later, I went back. Same pain, same foot. Guess I shoulda started slow. Anyways, the point is I did go back to running, just not so far as to push my body to its absolute limit. I felt great after those 12 miles, confident that I was able to do it without feeling defeated or tired. Moral: just because your heart and legs can handle the pain does NOT mean that your feet can. Feet are a little more delicate, I know now when to set my limits. Don't learn the hard way people. Ignoring muscle pain is one thing, but flat out feeling discomfort in any part of the body is not good. I share this with all honesty and gratitude to anyone reading. Thanks

      @noahatlas5240 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      What part of your abdomen? It is very common for runners--especially beginners--to get pains in your sides, typically on the left, under the lower part of the ribcage. When I started running, I got them ALLL THE TIME and it was so frustrating! If I felt one, I slowed down and tried to breathe deeper. They're typically caused because of lack of oxygen. The truth is, the only way to get them less is to just keep running. The more you run, the more endurance you build, and the less susceptible to side stitches you'll be. Also, what are you eating before you run? Eating too much too soon before a run is a major culprit of side stitches. I'd say, move through the pain. Run slower if you feel pain, as long as you can stand it. If you can't, walk. That is a-okay. Listen to your body. Don't overexert yourself. But, the more you run, the less you'll feel pain. I promise it'll go away. I know it's disheartening, but you can do it!

    I lost 15 lbs from running. And I don’t have to pay for a gym membership. Which is nice. I agree with pacing. Definitely have a good pace that works for you, especially when it’s long distance, because I’ve been running for months and running too fast drains my energy very quickly. I’ve had people pass me running at a faster pace. If that happens to you and you think you’re too slow, you’re not too slow, they’re just faster in that moment. Don’t worry about them.

    6 tips I have personally for runners! I've been running daily since 2005, when within a six month period I shed close to 50 pounds!
    1. Start low and local with a four corner street block. Warm up with a walking mile, run the second mile, cool down third mile, Sprint or run as fast as you can last mile, cool down by walking half a street block. Walk into a gas station at your finish and engorge on water! Three months later, jog the full four corner block for a 4 mile constant run. A year later, do this block twice, changing direction on the fourth mile, to run in opposite direction for an 8 mile run. You always need to run in an opposite direction after each four miles to put equal stress on your joints, rather than straining just one half. Once you run 8 miles a day, kiss your health problems goodbye, you will feel so alive and energetic, the runners high will make you feel ready to conquer any challenge in your day.
    2. Listen to music that motivates you to dance or be energetic, these beats will help you forget the stress involved in the demanding activity. I suggest Tiesto's, "In Search of Sunrise 1." Has the perfect tempo for an hour long run.
    3. Don't drink too much water or eat minutes before a run, it will water bog you and cause you to stop or want to barf. I suggest eating nothing four hours before a run and drinking only an hour before starting the exercise.
    4. Pull your shoelaces and tie them supertight on your shoes, so much so that it feels like it's hurting your feet, the friction of your running will loosen the bond, yet allow a more controlled run without risk of injury.
    5. Don't attempt to run 8 miles a day without eating a high calorie diet with sufficent hydration.
    6. Run between 45-75 minutes a day to gain any substantial benefits from the exercise. For me personally, I have to run for at least 45 minutes to get any effect.
    Running is probably one of the greatest and most beneficial exercises for the health.

    • @blackjack5293
      @blackjack5293 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it more amazing I was able to keep the habit of running for over a decade, some people lose interest in the activity years in. It's always good to change up runs, when the body adapts to the same miles everyday, ie, sprinting last mile one day, then the next don't sprint, or sprinting mile 5. It's not good to exceed 8 miles a day running, though, I found that out the hard way, unless you can run 10 miles in an hour. A runner will suffer from fatigue, soreness, and risk injury if they run over an hour and 30 minutes each day.

    I used to push myself WAYYY to hard just telling myself "just endure the pain, just a little longer, the benefits are worth it" i would end up wheezing on the floor, difficulty breathing, tasting blood and constantly spitting out phlegm and coughing hysterically. I thought i had exercise induced asthma, but i just had horrible stamina. I am still working on building my stamina but for all of yall who need to hear this:
    It is perfectly fine if you need to stop running after 30 seconds, take a breather and just walk for a bit until you feel you are ready to do another 30 seconds, you can't expect yourself to run a mile with no breaks right off the bat. Doing this every day, 30 seconds 10 second break has slowly built up stamina that i didnt even notice, within a few days my mile time record dropped by 30 seconds because i took slightly shorter breaks that time around without noticing
    Also midway water breaks give me a small boost of energy
    Also try running on a nature path, 1/4th mile tracks really demotivate me and i feel like crap after instead of feeling accomplished for pushing myself, even if there are roots its so much more refreshing and motivating in my opinion to take a jog on a nature trail :)

    “If you’re running and you can’t breathe, or you feel like you’re either suufocating- it’s obvious but just breathe deeper or breathe in two times”
    I don’t know why i haven’t thought of it, honestly! This was the advice i got from my PE teacher since i sort of gave up mid-way into the run. I was pretty new with running and I absolutely hate PE. Our PE classes mostly consist of basketball, soccer, kendo, swimming classes, american football, dodgeball and baseball. I was surprised hearing that we were gonna try running for 15 minutes non-stop.
    I thought i wasn’t the type of running person, since all i wanted to do was play dodgeball and basketball all day. But Running became one of my favorite workouts now! I hope i can learn more and more about running, because the more i learn from it, the more i kinda fall deeper in love!

    It's a completely different thing when you live in a subdivision, are a girl and have social anxiety. I've tried not to, but I always get anxious when I see people in the road ahead of me, or even thinking about people seeing me, especially if they're male. It sucks, and it's hard, so I instead go walking with my brother. One day I'll just wake up at unholy hours to run, that way I won't have to struggle with people.
    Anyway, thanks for your advice! I'm planning to try running soon, so I hope it all turns out okay.

      I know it's a lot easier said than done, but the thing that helps me the most is knowing that literally *nobody* cares about you. I live in a subdivision as well, and I'm surrounded by people who could watch me constantly. I used to be so ashamed of running, I used to think that everyone who could see me was making fun of me... but then I realized that when I see a fellow runner, I'm never thinking about them. I never make fun of them. When I pass them, I honestly forget about them within about 30 seconds. The same is true for you, too! When you run, you're anonymous, and nobody cares about you. I hope this helps, because you can do it! ❤️❤️❤️

      hi, it's been almost a year since you commented this and idk if you started running or gave up on the idea but wanted to encourage you anyway.
      I live in a big, metropolitan city. but my neighborhood is such an underground, so most people dont even run. let alone, most women also dont run. and to even add furthermore, women who're like me (who wear a hijab for religional purposes) also dont run. and everytime when I go out for a run, everyone looks at me with a shocked expression on their faces. I even had two men making fun of me while they were passing by with their motorcycles (what a jerk), SO MY POINT IS: DO NOT GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU. they always say shit, they always criticize you and us but don't even put up the effort & time that you're putting. just focus on yourself, ignore them. whenever i feel like people are watching me, i just look at the sky, or the sea if i'm running by the beach, or the trees. distract yourself, do not even look at their stupid faces.

    I started running last year, I am 15 years old my tip is just pace and length, till this day I haven’t changed my pace a bit. But I did increase the amount I run. I remember the first time I ran I only did like a quarter of a LAP! The next day I did a whole lap. And like 5 months after I did a whole mile non stop. So just don’t stop. Don’t lose hope. And remember why You started

    Another tip: breathe out of your nose
    - be careful with this one and if you need to breathe out of your mouth *do it* but it really helped me not give up.
    - also walking or taking a break is not giving up, if you need a break that bad, take it.
    - remember to be safe and have fun and don’t forget to be aware of your limits and surroundings!

      It depends on where you live, my county recommends it on our order because it’ll help build up immunity. But if you live in New York where you’re bound to meet someone don’t go! Depending on what order they give you just make sure you don’t run in populations

    My frd thinks it's silly to carry anything besides a few bucks on a run. However, I often run alone so I carry my phone, ID, and mace for safety reasons. I also tell my frds what route I plan to take and what clothes I'm wearing in case I go missing. U never know what might happen. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

    • @CatyCulp
      @CatyCulp  6 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I agree! That's one of the main reasons I carry all this stuff with me. I live in a large city, and if I got hit by a car or something, I want to be easily and quickly identified.

      Dii Sp8s omg THIS!! I thought I was the only one to feel this paranoid about running.
      I even stopped wearing lights on my body when running super early or at night.
      I was always trying to be cautious about cars seeing me until I was followed by somebody on a bicycle. I realized I was just a beacon of “hey! I’m alone and running over here, turning here and heading in this direction.”
      I carry a headlight but have it turned off unless I absolutely need to turn it on. I figure I am better off watching for cars myself even if they don’t see me. So i’ll run in streets with sidewalks and stuff and be extra cautious.

      I'm often alone in the woods when I exercise too, and since I grew up horseback riding, safety and communication were pounded in to me. There's actually an app called Road ID that detects if you stop for too long, subsequently sets off an alarm, and can be programmed to send your location to set contacts if you don't turn off said alarm after a minute or so. It gives me an immense amount of reassurance.

    • @dii-N-sd

      I agree. However, many women are uncomfortable using guns. And running in the woods is def out of the question. I think it's best to avoid areas like that especially when you're alone.

      Hey, everyone starts somewhere, add in planned 1 minute walks every few minutes...this allows your brain to focus in on the next break, allowing you to run a little quicker too knowing you have a break soon! Best of luck.

    10 year runner tip.
    Trainer Mileage - as soon as you see wear and tear in your Trainer which happens to me every 400 miles approx. buy a new pair. And make sure the soul is reasonably flexible without being thin.
    Empty stomach - don't believe everything you hear about eating carbs, eating before run, timing eating etc. Its all nonsense. Run on an empty stomach, I run up to 10 miles without any food that day. Caffiene - yes. This will be more than adequate to get to 10 miles with one cup of coffee. If you go past 10 miles then eat, but do not listen to beginner tips about smashing food before a run. Nonsense. Eat afterward.
    Run hard - if you struggle or feel like crap on a run. This is a win no matter what time you reached or how bad you did. It was good exercise if you felt tired during the run. If you didn't, didn't get anything out of it. Good days and bad days, irrelavent... as long as you ran, you win.
