@@Antonschauz yes its true, tbh you should start bottom up for running, from feet to achilles tendons to shin and quads and glutes. This way you will see actual progress in running. Consistency is important, you can't do it in few days, otherwise you might injure yourself if you push way hard.
@@Antonschauz I would say yes. Lack of strong feet and ankles results in less efficiency in form and power output. However I believe the biggest difference these make is keeping you injury free and smiling 🙂.
@@AntonschauzI’m starting to realize the feet and ankles are the first part of your body connecting with the ground, so In a way, they are our first line of defense from the forces being put into our bodies, so why not build them in sturdy walls of defense?
@@mrsensei8878 Yes, I have less pain now. Still running 5x week 6 miles distance. I just ran a marathon 3 weeks ago, and my feet used to scream at me after miles 20-26. No pain this time, recovery was better. I'll keep up with these exercises.
There's an old strongman exercise that's basically the first two put together! You lift the forefoot then lower it and go into a calf raise. I've been doing it for a while and my ankles feel great. Just do it steadily and controlled instead of dropping into the motion.
@@BartvanderMark You shouldn´t stretch your achilles heel or any tendon, according to a lot of physiotherapists. And there is no evidence that it works.
Thank you for this video! Foot work feels like a great way to invest in my running especially on the days I don't feel like doing a bigger muscle workout. Plus just standing on one leg with my eyes closed is already such a challenge for me, it really keeps me focused in the moment and I'm excited to improve in this skill. Great video!
It's really cool that you added something fun and relatively accessible, as a lot of people give up on running because they find it not very fun and demanding. A lot of channels/people focus on the things you should do, but not very often focus on the things that make it fun. Great content Göran!
What I have done is that I go to the gym to do my lifting routine and to warm up I take off my shoes, get on the treadmill and jog very slowly for 3-10 minutes, around 4 to 5 mph depending what level you are (no experience 3 minutes 4mph and so on). My feet now look like bodybuilders! Very strong. And yes I don’t get injured. The other benefit of this I’ve noticed is your gate improves, cadence increases naturally to 173-180 steps per minute and you can feel your back working because your posture is straight and not sloppy.
These were great! Thank you for making the video! I was astonished at how much stronger one foot was than the other, and then it was reversed for a different exercise. I guess I have some work to do!
Have been doing calf raises for a while and starting to feel the benefits. Great to learn about some other foot strengthening exercises, many thanks, M
Already loving the first seconds of filming and production. I have no pain while running but sometimes after resting and just walking. Will try these exercises.
These exercises may not be seen as the most glamorous form of training but they are really so important. I've been doing exercises like this religiously for the past couple of years and I've found they make such a difference. Thanks for sharing
O legal da internet é curtir um video desse no Brasil em pleno Rio de Janeiro enquanto o cara tá na neve dando dicas pra gente em como correr melhor. Excelente
Good video! I've been working on my ankle strength after rolling my foot and fracturing an ankle bone in April, forcing me to miss Boston. I'm almost back to my pre-injury running speeds and distances, but I've added stability and balance exercises to my morning routine because I don't want to go through that again.
Thank you! An alternative for the last one is tandem walking. Per Wikipedia: take very small steps in a straight line so that, with each step, the heel of the foot that steps forward is placed immediately in front of, or just touching, the toes of the rear/supporting foot.
Thanks for these exercises! I struggle with shin splits on my right leg, and have never come across the foot tapping. I think this video is going to be a game changer!
Cool! My husband has been planning to put a slackline up in the garden for some time. He bought it years ago and never got round to putting it up. I shall remind him now...never thought how good it would be for my old runners feet👍 might run another line higher to grab as a cheat while learning. Luckily my husband is an ex-fireman and tree climbing rope specialist 😊
Thanks for sharing your video. I am always looking for workouts to keep my knees, feet,ankles, hips healthy so I can continue to hike high altitude Peaks until my golden years, in California. I am 60 years old hiker, amateur mountaineer, skier. Thanks
This is absolutely awesome! I could really feel my feet getting more stronger and stabilized with each exercise! Thanks for sharing this, keep up the good content!
I hope these exercise will help me recover faster from shin splint. Thanks Goran for sharing this. I really appreciate your work . Keep shining brother 😁
@@soskillua5469 I broke my 5k and 10k pr . Not just theses exercises I made some changes in training too like variation in intensity (slow steady, HIIT) and volume (long runs, long walks ,short runs) not keeping it monotonous now. New shoes also helped .
I struggled with a foot injury for years, with pain that never fully went away. At some point a physio randomly noticed that I had much less control over my left big toe than I did on the right. I started doing towel pulling exercises, and indeed on the right I could add several weight plates and move the towel just fine, whereas left could barely move the empty towel at all. After a few months of that I had my first pain free run in years. Definitely was the missing piece of the puzzle for me at that point. I _try_ to still regularly do them now, but they're also crazy boring and take a lot of time, so yeah it's really hard to stay consistent with something like that.
As a barefoot runner with a weak spot behind my second toe I do calf raises to the sides of the foot, which are a bit harder for the calves, raise on the outsides of the feet, than land the heel and raise on tha ball behind the big toe, land the heel again and repeat, Calf raises with spread out toes seem to activate more muscles in the feet. I allso lift myself on the forefeet and displace the load from right behind the pinky toe to the ball behind the big toe.
An excellent video, Goran! A variation of the one legged balance exercise is what I call 'sock clock' - balance foot points to 12, the free foot picks up a sock and places it at 11, returns it to start position (say, 3), then 10, 9 etc with the distance from balance foot adding extra difficulty. 8 and 7 can cause some startling contortions!
I do some foot strenghening at work - handling cold stuff with thin gloves can make your hands unfomfortably cold, but usually it's done by just standing on a spot, pretty easy to keep working while doing something like single leg calf raises and all kinds of small movements - about 100 reps gives good burn that warms your body and then hands. Needs to be done to exhaustion, otherwise it does not warm that much.. Probably the only way I find motivation to do stuff like that, get warm hands, something to do to make time pass bit quicker when work gets bit boring and it's somewhat beneficial in the long term.
I used to do martial arts, and I see from this and your knee strenghtening video that several of these exersises can be put together into combined exersises, they actually combine into exersises we used to do on every single training..guess I will be dusting of some martial skills to put into my running training :) Thank you for these great videos :)
I try to do at least a few of these exercises every day, and sometimes if i want an active rest day, I will just go to the gym for an hour or so and work on these ‘easy’ exercises for areas i need to work the most, usually core, hips, ankles and knees. I feel very relaxed as workout vert easy but i get great satisfaction!! I like your favourite exercise, will have to include! Its a very slow gradual progress, but i see and feel improvement in my form, running and recovery each time.
Hi Göran ! Im 30 yr old and started running few months back but faced splints frequently and that made me to stop training and plan strengthening the lower leg muscles . Thanks for your insight on this !
Thank you Göran for this useful video. I literally did the exercises along with the video, so I can remember them. The first two were already in my exercise routine, yet the remaining 4 were new to me. I appreciate your efforts sharing the knowledge you have, about training smart and giving great points and tips and a great insight of things related to running, using studies and research facts as well as your own experience as an example, to which most of the runners can relate, and providing solutions for struggles that one may face. I've changed and shifted some things in my running and exercise routine since I started to watch your videos. And it made a difference, made me look at running a bit different than before, in a positive progressive way. Thank you again. Let's train smart🌱🍀☘
Thanks for your super nice comment makes me very happy to hear you find my videos useful and they help your running in some ways. Wish you the best of luck in your training!
@@balakumar9 hi! I think everyone can adjust exercises basing on their individual needs and preferences. As for me, I do these whenever I'm barefeet and they pop into my head. Other times I incorporate them after or during my resistance training sessions, sometimes, with shorter intervals, I do them as part of my dynamic stretch before running. There are days I go without doing them at all. This is what works for me. I hope you explore and find your optimal version. And, congratulations on starting running! ☘🍀🌱😊
Great exercises! I do 1 to 5 while standing behind my desk, so basically i can do the exercises without "losing" time! Next step, install bungee under desk.
I recommended weight training. Heavy weights, medium reps. Any amount is better than none. II can help stabilize all the various joints and help minimize injury.
Good exercises and good points on the consistency. The exercise of rising onto the ball of your foot is great also when you're waiting for a bus or in line. Of course you likely have shoes. Barefoot shoes would be better even. And you can increase difficulty doing it one foot at a time without support of you need more challenge. Speaking of barefoot i recommend walking like that when possible to activate and strengthen foot muscles.
Some of this exercise is perfect to do while brushing your teeth! Spreading your toes or pushing down the big toe, is a great way to avoid sprain your ankle!
Video suggestion: Up to 30% of people have flat feet. It would be awesome to have a video from you on this topic. For example, is it safe to run regularly with flat feet? What shoes should we use? Etc.
I admit that I know some of those but don't do them because they're a bit boring. Calf raises I do, as I really feel the burn. I do a variation where I stand on a step (of stairs for instance) with my toes of one foot.that way I lower my ankle even more than doing them on the ground. I then push back up. I do hold on to something to keep balance (do not try to use it to pull up, use your feet for that). I also should use my fascia ball more often again (you can use a tennis ball as well). Great input, Göran.
Great video and great exercises. Healthy feet is a key to healthy running. Slacklining is so fun and really good training. A tip is to walk barefoot. For instance when walking the dog. Also to buy a pair of minimalistic shoes for every day use.
Another not boring way to train all foot and ankle muscles is just to go walk barefoot outside more often, it really helps and avoids boring inside drills, my arch and ankles are already so much stronger after 3 months
Great video as always Göran :) I will add some of these to rotation with strengthening exercise from your older video (love the one when you rotate whole body)
It is true that these are boring but you can do them while doing something else, so they can be done consistently. As an example, I try to balance myself on one foot when I am waiting for water to boil when making a coffee, or when I am brushing my teeth, etc. When you are meeting with a friend a they are late, it’s great time to do some calf raises or foot taps. We can add more to the list but you get the point.
Instead of the slack line, I use a stability ball (flat side up) and balance on one leg while picking up cones spread out in front of me and stacking them on top of one another
Is no one gonna comment how smooth that transition was at the beginning?!?!
Haha thanks glad that someone noticed 😅
Exercise 1. Feet Tapping - 45s || x3
Exercise 2. Calf Raises - 45s || x3
Exercise 3. Toes Grasping Gait - 1min || x3
Exercise 4. Toes Abducted Gait - 1min || x3
Exercise 5. Runners Stability - 1min || x3 (per leg)
Bonus - Slacklining
Thanku brooke to conclude the video in 6 line

Bro thank you lol
Thank you so much for these notes this helped me with the video
Thank you
I was a sprinter in college and did most of these exercises. helped tremendously.

Great to find out that slacklining helps with my running. I've been doing for years, but didn't make the connection until you mentioned it :).
Cool to hear yeah I think it’s a great stability exercise!
Been doing the runner stability exercise.. It really helps in building balance and leg strength.. Great video 👍🏻

This would be awesome. I'm also having a flat feet (duck feet as we say).

Try kettlebell swings with toes pointed inwards and actively trying to create an arch in your foot (grasping the ground).
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

You're so welcome!
Thank you for the tips, very helpful and informative :)
Another not boring way to train all foot and ankle muscles is just to go walk barefoot outside more often, it really helps and avoids boring inside drills, my arch and ankles are already so much stronger after 3 months
Great video as always Göran :) I will add some of these to rotation with strengthening exercise from your older video (love the one when you rotate whole body)
