#8 hit home for me: Everyone has an opinion and young runners are so impressionable. Find out what works best for you and find your reason for running. I lace up my shoes every other day or so in the hopes of getting that feeling that I'm not even running. Around mile 3 or a lot of runs, it feels like I've drifted off into a deep trance and it feels like I'm gliding. I also run so that I can see how far I can push myself come race day. I weight 315 pounds 5 years ago. I just completed by first marathon at 187 pounds and have completely changed my life around because of running. I love it and will continue to do so as long as my legs allow me to.
Love Mary’s comment about showing yourself from being a beginning runner. It’s exactly what I’ve created a channel for. Started running at 264lbs in a hope of changing my life… so far I’m on track! It’s channels like this that inspire me to keep moving! ❤ 💯
Awesome, Freddy. Keep at it 😊
Well done. Keep going!
That's cool! I'll subscribe 😀
I’ve been running for 17 years, have completed 12 half-marathons, and still feel like a “beginner”…so glad to have found your channel and your advice and encouragement!
I think that there’s nothing wrong with running to fix a problem such as being depressed or overweight. Combatting these issues are my motivation to keep at it.
Mary, you are an inspiration. You are developing into a fine runner and it’s lovely to see your confidence developing. Too many youtube channels are based for the elite or young athletes whereas yours has a good balance. Thank you.
Today I had my long run of the week. I still had 5 km to go and my stomach started to make some weird noises. I needed a toilet as soon as possible. I sped up and maintained a wonderful pace until I reached my home. I felt like flying through the streets. Now my secret is to mix a whole mango with a cup of milk before my runs.
I just ran my first marathon using a lot of y'alls tips! My build up to that was ALL slow/easy runs for 18 weeks. I did a few races in there to know my pace, but otherwise slow. Anyway, I PR'd on every race in a big way (10 minutes off my HM). Just backing up what you're saying that building your base can make you faster :) I think it also gives me confidence on a half (for example) when my training runs are 20 miles. Like a half is nothing at that point - let's blow the gunk out of the engine lol.
I found this channel recently and I love it, the positivity you show is helping me to love running more than I already do (which I didn’t think was possible)
Thanks again for more of that no nonsense running wisdom that you put in each and every video
"Run For Life". --love that
Love the advice of showing up. I do that currently with my long runs. Im a ‘beginner’ again after a long long break. I find setting little goals for yourself and being happy just to complete a training session and looking very long term is key. Also, if you are returning runner that ‘was good’ it is so important to leave your ego aside with every training session. Dont focus on your old self, focus on smart training and distinguish the difference between hard training and a niggle that could turn i to injury or mean you need to stop or take a break from running.
So true. He stated in a previous video about the 10 minute rule (I think it was Ben). Just put your stuff on and walk for 10 minutes. If you don't have the inspiration, go inside. Most times, though, you get going. Same with strength training. Don't feel it? Do a few pushups or a light set. Most times I've had my best workouts when I didn't feel like working out at first.
I also love Mary’s encouragement part. I don’t share too much as i think that i am not the best in my running and i still need to grow, but, is so true that you can be an inspiration to someone🙌🏻 you both are such an inspiration for me and i love all that you share on your channel, as you both are genuine, hard working and honest👏🏻thank you Mary and Ben👏🏻
This channel is one of my trusted sources of helpful information and tips that have encouraged and challenged me on my running journey! Thank you so much!
Mix it up. Don't obsess over finishing at an even number. I turn 57 Thursday so I'm running 5.7 miles that day. Or maybe .57, but definitely not 57.
The running purity is great yet off putting for those that don't love running here. I run for mental (more) and physical (less) fit/clarity. I find running is better for mental clarity than either rowing, cycling or J. Roping. I also really appreciate you keeping the channel less about running shoes and gadgets😊
I built up my stash😂 overtime mainly through the free running tech-shirts that I got when I signed up for 5k runs! Also, a few months ago I really didn't like running anymore. So I decided to just go out and run at what I felt was a comfortable pace but NOT look at my watch until I got home. I started out doing 2km and now do 4km-7km about 3 times a week. The funny thing is that recently when I entered a 5km run and later an 8km run, my times were the same or very close to the same as when I used to train harder🤯. But now, I am not out of breath or wrecked at the end of such runs😁. I am planning to soon get back to trying again to reach my own target times that I have set for myself👍🏃♀
Great video and spot on advice 👍
Great video, as always. Thanks!
Great video!! Great advice. Great reminders!!
im in year 2 of my "running journey" and your channel along with a handful of others continue to inspire me to get out there.. thanks love you 2!
Love your video and always find them so helpful and inspirational.
Great video and impeccable timing for me. Very nice.
I can’t really explain it that you are my favourite running channel. Maybe because you cover so many different areas about running! Thank you
I found you guys a few weeks ago and have been binge watching ! Thank you so much for the wonderful positivity. I am getting back into running again and you two are wonderful and so encouraging.
Thank you both for everything you do.
This channel is brilliant and I learn so much from the two of you. Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
great work!
Always enjoy your videos. Make running more approachable and enjoyable for so many of us.
Ben and Mary - I love these tips. Thanks for putting out inspirational content
Thanks so much, Gab 😊 you’re welcome 🤟🏼
Love the comment about running for the love of running - so true!❤
Just found you and I love your videos! The #3 tip is something that's hard for me to do because I can't find any trails on my place or any other kinds of place to run on other than the road.
Love you both... The videos are amazing. THANK YOU
Wow, one of your best videos so far, Thank you so much for this inspiration and motivation
Hey I just wanted to let you know that as a competitive swimmer whos getting into triathlon now, ur funning videos has been rlly informative and also entertaining, keep it up man!
TH-cam algo is a wonderful thing. I’ve had a bit of a hiatus from running the last couple of years but am just getting back into it. And up pops your video. Have binged a few more. Great content. I like your recommendation about getting off road - I find those runs so enjoyable. Always different as you say. I’ve also got into Hashing - having to hunt the trail adds a lot of fun and before you know it you’ve covered big distances without even realising it. I think there are quite a few hashing groups in Thailand and I’d definitely recommend giving them a go if you come across them!
TMH. Superb upload. You 2 are an inspiration to runners and all that’s good in mankind.
You are both sincere and kind people who shares your knowledge and experience. Thank you so very much.
Love this video. Great information. Yeah, I bought all the running gear. All being put to running good use, training and races. I'm in it for life. Thank you.
Great video,always common sense. Nice edit job
Most definitely, find people with Good advice and also Good advice for you.
I’ve seen channels that people
like but the channel wasn’t helping me with how I run and who I am as a runner.
Also, just bc they claim to be a running channel and running expert, don’t trust their advice just bc they claim such, lol.
I do love y’alls channel, thankfully lol, it’s a blessing and now it’s showing up in my notifications again ☺️
I love the tip that you don't have to actually run to start but just show up. I think that half the battle is getting out of bed early, getting gear and runners on etc once you're out the door it's not so bad. I did this this morning but just went for a walk cos I found it less daunting as its been a while since I ran. Thanks for the awesome.tips as always 😁 your consistency always inspire me.
Great advise. Made all those errors. More injuries than running.... Slowed down and did my first sub 4 marathon today after just a year of consistent running. Best to learn from people that made the mistakes so you don't. 1 maybe 2 faster sessions a week, if the body feels like it can. Rest slow. Zone 2
Thanks for all the great videos and advise. I pass it on to my wife who will be doing her first half marathon soon.
Excellent advice!..every point very valid!..I would advise also running on a beach when it comes to mixing up surfaces..there’s usually a sweet spot in the sand,tide allowing,where you lessen the possibility of injury but can have a VERY enjoyable run..I run about 6 days a week on a beach with ZERO injuries..excellent channel this💪
congrats on your 10k PB!
Great vid
It’s a process not a destination. Thanks for the reminder.
True story. Even if you inspire one person it's totally worth it.
Yes it put a smile on my face. The MoTTiv shirt you were wearing is from a person who owns that company that got me into Triathlons with his motivation from his channel. I train with running but I do find it a good way to relieve stress and solve any issues I have at work. It is me time. you are both inspirational. Cheers
Ahhh awesome. Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Taren is a friend and I was a huuuge fan of his before I started my own TH-cam journey. Proud to rep his brand 😊
You guys are a huge inspiration to me 💖 I started running accidentally in January haha 😂 I enjoy the gym and strength training and started to use running on the treadmill as a warm up for a change in Jan and since then I’ve became more obsessed with actually getting better at that and improving my fitness and kick starting my metabolism (which unfortunately isn’t the fastest thing 😂). Started off doing 2 min on/2 minute off intervals for 25 minutes, but I quickly challenged myself to run for longer blocks. I’m quite proud of the 3 5ks I’ve managed to do as a result of pushing myself like this and, when I’ve told some of my colleagues who also gym, it’s encouraged them to look at giving cardio another chance too.
My only thing at the moment though is I only run on the treadmill. It’s not that I don’t want to go outside to run, it’s more that the area I live doesn’t provide very good running spaces, be it road or trail. I don’t even think there’s a track near me. Am I still a runner like you guys if I’m just in the treadmill?
You run? Then you're a runner! Congrats to the 5ks on a treadmill. I've done only a few metres on them when getting my running gait analysis at a running shoe store and it felt unusual, squishy and like I'm falling off its end. Plus side: that you don't get a cold in nasty weather when the clothing choice wasn't the best that day. Cheers!
Sage advice guys. I think with consistency it's all about building good habits. Sometimes people search for that abstract thing of motivation but if your sessions are just something you do and are part of your routine this makes it come much more naturally
Headed out the door this morning with my $40 Mexican running shoes on, a watch borrowed from the wife, and wearing my PJ's boxer shorts, and hammered 2.5 hours simply because I LOVE TO RUN.
Hi luv your videos. Great advice as always. You guys are #runnergoals 😊
Ahh thanks so much, Merlene 😊
Stay in the game. Helemaal eens
Thanks for your video!! Currently training for my first marathon, I've been running for approximately a year and doing well (in my mind). My biggest problem is people questioning me "how fast are you", "how far can you run" it almost completely de-motivates me and makes me feel like I'm not fast enough or fit enough etc. Most of these people have never run in their life's and I feel like they don't get how tough it actually is/can be
Adding on to that. Just like point eight many people seem to have a lots of opinions on what I should and shouldn't be doing!
YOU GOT THIS!!! I just ran my first marathon. It was ~6h to complete, so that tells you my pace. It's always the nonrunners with opinions! My friends running sub3 marathons are just happy for me and happy I am joining their crazy hobby. I am cheering you on - don't listen to those nonrunners :)
they're projecting their insecurity on you, they feel bad about themselves when they know you're training and they're not, they want to bring you down to make themselves feel better, their feelings are not your responsibility, don't feel bad, feel good that you're doing something right by indirectly causing people to question themselves, people being jealous/envious is as part of life, don't waste your time explaining yourself to negative people, it's up to them fix their internal issues, not you
"You're a streaker..."😂
It's funny, I started running 18 years ago and these advices would have been so beneficial. On the other hand I agree with Nr. 5 as well, there are so many "truths" out there regarding running it is really hard for someone who just starts to decide. A funny story, someone in the early days adviced me to buy a size smaller running shoes, he was a really good marathon runner. Of course I had very bad pains from it, I don't know why I accepted this advice :)
Yep, when I tried running 8-9 years ago in my late 20's, I would run the same little route basically as hard as I could, and do 5k races every other week. I did see good improvements from race to race for sure...but that only lasted for about 3 months until I started getting knee pain that didn't go away even after taking a full week break.
Now, I'm 37 and have been running routinely for almost 5 months now, and now running 5-6 times per week using a lot of different types of runs. Most are just 30-40min long, maybe one longer run per week...easy runs with a couple strides tossed in, a solid threshold run, fartlek session....those 4 types are pretty much my bread and butter and I just do them as I feel that day, all 30-35min (50-60 for long run) so that I'm not killing my body. I've been able to stay injury free since I'm not pushing hard every single time out. Like today, it was supposed to be a rest day, but I just went out for an easy 2.5 mile jog just to log some more miles and get the heart going a bit. It's amazing how easy it is to be consistent with it when you're not overdoing it.
Nbr. 5 ... agree.. what happen if I'm achieved my goal..time, weight,. What happened next.. wee can't lose weight concestly we can't beet time concestly.. run it's for run.. run it's for me.. all benefits it's just what run com with... If run can talk.. probably say. Run like you want,you outfit it's not important,do not compare to any one.. I have just one condition..stay with me.. and I'm promise.. you will change..btw.. brilliant info..
Love it! “If running could talk” is such a great idea for a video, Rob 😊
You do need a better quality shoe! Everything else can be scraps but shoes, no. Protect your feet and knees. Just bought some new Hokas and my old brooks were making my shin splints so much worse. I didn't even realize how bad they were until I ran in the new shoes.
you might not say switch all roads to trails, but thats what i say
Trials are hard to find
Have to disagree about the mental thing.
Running is good for the neck down, AND for the neck up.
Otherwise, as usual, thanks for ur videos 👍👍👍👍👍🏃♀️🏃🏻💨😁
All my running is off road , I have waterproof altras and bloody hate tarmac
Running is easy. If it's not, you are doing a hard session.
Find trusted people - ✅
💪🏼 Woop woop 🙌🏼 😊
Nice one. Do you know that your "watch this video next" videos don't show a preview and aren't clickable? At least, not for me!
Oh, sorry, they're working now.
