The shot of Mo grabbing his stomach and his bottom and running behind the bush made me laugh out loud. Love the bit of humor you put into these videos.
My fastest half marathon was when i massively carb-loaded beforehand and took gels during the race. If i don't fuel myself i under-perform and feel faint afterwards. Which shows that we are all different. Running has taught me to listen to my body.
Guilty of a lot of these, I have a 5k PB attempt in a few weeks and this is great info to implement during my training runs and going into my pb attempt in February (sub 20) Thanks!
I'm one month from my 1/2 marathon in Brooklyn and I was able to do 13.3 miles yesterday on my long run! This will be my second race ever. Feeling super hyped!
I once had a couple of beers and a friend asked if I fancied a run. Hardest run I've ever done. 😂 I can only explain it as it was an extreme amount of effort to run a very normal everyday pace.
I love listening to the podcasts and watching the videos. One thing I've noticed over time is that like me runners over 50+ nearing 60 are seldom mentioned. As an older runner who has done marathons I think the golden generation need a mention 😢
Some great advice here :) Worth noting that proper running tops don't need to cost a fortune, for UK viewers, Primark had some fantastic short and long sleeve tops for about £5 each..... Compared to normal sports brands at £20+
@@shaunaisaJellyBean il look into those! I have belaga at the moment but need some more and don't really want to pay a fortune for shorter daily runs! Thanks for the tip 👍
Snowy and icy describes all my outdoor runs from October to April here in northern Norway. No need to turn to the treadmill if the roads are snowy 🤷♂️
During Ramadan I usually only run 4-8 miles a day right before I break my fast on the afternoon. No long runs at all but it's like a reset month for me because it's the same pace all month long and no intervals or trail runs . The only thing that sucks is I cannot race an ultra that month or weeks after
I realised after Christmas how much food can have an effect. I set a 5k PB on the 23rd, and didnt run until the 27th after a couple of heavy eating days. It was like running through treacle, i couldn't believe the effect it had.
Strong disagree re: fasted runs. Even eating something small, it takes me 2-3+ hours before i'm able to run more than a couple of minutes without developing a stitch and feeling my food sloshing around. I think people are wildly different in this aspect, and there's no right or wrong answer (with the exception of something like marathon+ distance)
Some people eat close to running because you can get used to having to digest food while in motion. It helps people that want to do long distance events
Great tips… however sports physio told me science shows when re-habbing an injury the brain needs to feel this pain to a level of 1-3 out of 10 any more then it’s a negative and not productive but in the 1-3 is optimal then the 3 will become 2 and then 1 and hopefully eventually zero. I thought this was odd so went 2nd opinion and seems he was right. Body can also adapt to run on fats just need to cross it over so fasted running to a degree is fine and beneficial.
@@runningchannel The science of re habbing is fascinating, obviously rest is best for some types of injuries but the majority a level of exercise to a prescribed pain level and to continue at that pain level until notice pain drops then increase exercise effort to same pain level. so if a 3/10 drops to a 2/10 after a period of time then increase load to get back to 3. Although exercise might not be the sport or activity that caused the condition. eg a patella tendinopathy. if casued by basketball not playing a full court press session LOL.
4. Is esentially not true for Z2 runs where the body won't go into anaerobic glycogenesis. You can do fasted runs as long as you nail the intensity correctly
I love the "8 hours sleep". All the youtube fitness gurus use it. How? Been retired for 6 years and haven't had 8 hours sleep since I suffered from depression over 10 years ago. (Couldn't get out of my bed then)
Guys, please can you advise how to get around needing the toilet when fueling before a run? I have stopped eating and drinking before any runs because I was getting caught out far from home or needing the loo was affecting my performance!
We had a heatwave here last week, temps up around 35c and over, and the amount of people I saw running past my house in that weather. Oof. I don't know how they do it. It made me nervous.
Number 4: I don't eat before a run or race (including marathons). I'm completely fat-adapted (no carbs or plants in 3 yrs). All my runs (>100K/wk) are in a fasted state.

I do pre-run nutrition. I ate dinner the night before. 😁

We'll see what we can do David!
And even over 60s!!!
Another great episode! Thanks for the tips Mo!
Great video, I must say I am guilty of doing number 8 a lot as a “quick run after work” but I’m hoping to mix things up a bit this year 🤞🏼
Did anyone spot the dog at the end wearing the same orange t shirt, as Mo 😂
Great video BTW 👊🏻
Great spot!
Never run on pain? Lol, i wonder what David Goggins would say. But nice vid, thanks for the tips!
I’m sure he’d say “whose gonna carry the boats” 😂😂😂
Some great advice here :)

I'll cross my fingers and hope for 5.5 hours sleep as usual.
A steady 10k, early in the morning, should still be doable.
My fastest half marathons have always been when fasted for more than 16 hours.
My fastest Half Marathon I was hung over....I don't suggest that though.

This only applies if Ramadan occurs in winter. Not so easy in summer.
The clips of Mo sleeping absolutely made this 😂
Agreed!
Is it ok to run always around the same park as long as we vary the distance and pace of the runs? Is there a benefit from changing the place?
Yes and yes
I switch from daytime runs to dusk runs during Ramadan, then I can open my fast straight after the run👍
Great idea
Ramadan approaching fast, can we have a video how to train better while fasting please
I switch my runs to be in the final hour before sunset. It works for me.

Do you tend to run fasted?
@@runningchannel yes and it works well
I am probably the only runner who does not use a watch and i have run multiple marathons and 2 Ultra's.
It's all about preference! Lot's of people run without a watch
# 11, don't do # 2 before a run. Save it for the sprint finish at the end for a chocolate surprise!

It's all about practice and it's very personal. Have you tried eating small amounts while you run?

No, I haven't - something like a banana?

Wow that's warm!
You clearly enjoyed film of these sections Mo 🤣🤣
I don't care what anyone says I'm stretching before a run. My body has adjusted to stretching before running so I'm fine.
Do you do static or dynamic stratches?
Giggling about too much caffeine. I have not yet found this level yet! (Yes, I know caffeine metabolism/response is genetic.)

Me with a 'niggle' with a 10k trail run on Saturday 🙃
Oh no! hope you feel better soon
You know you got some rather questionable commercial running on your vid? That one was calling harward hamas university...
I don't think they have much control over the ads. I presume you mean Harvard and I guess you have either missed or ignored the news coming out about that University.
We have very little control about the adverts that appear on our videos, they are targeted to the viewer, not the channel
People who run fasted (e.g. me) or run marathons unshod: ☠️
Just when I think you have made all of the videos on running you come out with another one! Must be struggling to come up with new ideas…
We've still got a few in the bank 😁 Any suggestions?
nr 4 is so stupid. you will run faster if you dont eat!
