Yeah I bought shoes for ALOT of money and a load of random accessories and thought I could run I a ultra marathon lol but you are totally right once you get out there it get easier
No. 1 - shoes, buy shoes go out and run then while youre doing ur 1st run ask urself if running is for u but really on your 1st run u need to push urself u will feel out of gas on the 1st minute but remember our body is designed to run longer than u think 😊
as a total noob myself, you forgot the two most important things (except nice shoes)! i rely heavily on my phone and headphones! i use the strava app to track my run (route, distance, speed and such) and the C25K app to tell me when and how to do the intervals ( still not able to run for more than 5 min at a time and far from able to motivate myself to do the intervals without that voice telling and timing me). headphones are key to hear said voice but also music or podcasts (spotify for me) to distract from boredom or achy tired legs and body. i use my bose ones cus thet fit well and dont have a cord, but get quite sweaty and will upgrade to something lighter and breezier sometime in the future. and dont forget pockets! the leggings and shorts with pockets are on frequent repeat as its just So Nice to not have to hold my phone and keys! lots of love! i just treated myself to winter-friendly barefoot running shoes and cant wait to not have any excuses later this season haha
Nice video for beginners, could we get a bike 101? A video explaining different parts of the bike and some of the variations in part sizes would be helpful.
Thank you for this new video, informative and useful as usual. Personally, these days I would add a couple items to the kit: a calendar to count the days left until the lockdown ends, or alternatively a large private park. :)
How long are you using your shoes? I observed that in my shoes regularly after 400 km the sole is worn out, and I am developing foot and leg pain. Changing the shoes early enough was very important!
@@heatherfell_oly It sure did! New shoes like yours and moisture wicking shirts and shorts are on the agenda now. My cotton t-shirts were definitely not making my previous attempts at running comfortable, let alone my terrible shoes and old basketball shorts hanging below my knees driving me crazy. Thanks for all the hard work!
I've been eating a couple of chocolate/ fuel bars on my "long" runs (half marathon) - I know that it's very subjective but is there any advice on how much fuel per hour you should take in on a run and at what min total distance should you actually take fuel on (I could run a long run without food but I've heard advice to train your stomach to eat on the go for when you do long races etc)
Hi Lewis, It is personal but you'll be good for anything upto an hour or even 90' for some people, as your body stores enough glycogen. If you are going to be running longer you want to start topping it up far earlier than that to prevent emptying your stores. Yes training your stomach is a good idea just like you do your body. You can digest between 60-90g of carbohydrates an hour depending on what you are eating. Hope that helps.
I live in Mexico. Search for Taraumara, an indigenous tribe in Mexico. They are famous for their long distance running skills. I think many of them went on to compete at the international level. They never use fancy gear. Not even basic running shoes. They either run bare feet or sandals made of use car tires. The idea is to get started. Don´t wait for fancy gear. I am not saying that we should ditch the running shoes and start running barefoot because that tribe does it out of necessity. But I would rather buy whatever I can afford and get started there. Shoes, comfy clothes and run.
I have a question where did all these networks come from and are they connected because based on location I think they are global cycling network (bath england) global moutain bike network (bath England) global triathlon network (bath England) I'm a cyclist only cycling but since you posted the most recent video I commented on your video
no 1 tip for a beginner: Gear can never replace training. Learned this the hard way. Get a pair of comfy shoes - > run.

And most importantly don't forget to enjoy. It's a hobby and you chose it !

Guy runner here, always run on leggings or lycra shorts. Super comfy and prevents chafing.

Tell that to trail runners lol

Nice Heather with the Yeezys!!
Heather running in Yeezys. The hype is real. Guaranteed PR.
Thank you great advice..All I need is motivation and a kick up the backside....

400k is a long way, most recommend around 300k but can often be less.
One thing rarely spoken off is Socks.
Both of them ?
Am I overwhelmed by choice in shirts, shorts and shoes? Check. Thanks for this perfectly timed video!
Hope it helped :)

Great video. I am now motivated to do my run for today!
Great to hear, enjoy!
Hi, I have a question, when i run, my splint hurts so much, almost felt like my bone gonna crack. Is this normal? 🤔
Hi Vincent, it sounds like you definitely need to rest!
Merino whool running socks. Even if you stop running, you'll have nice pairs of socks.
You forgot PPE. mask, gloves, hazmat suit...etc.
😀😀😀
you missed sunnies and sunscreen
On a bright day it's something easily overlooked - great shout!
Damn this gorgeous bald head.
Hehe Hehe not in England you need an overcoat and an umbrella
@@garylucas7050 why is my scalp burnt then?

You have a nice speaking voice.
Running is simple 😫

Actually if you go all the way up the company ladder they are owned by Discovery Inc (or the Discovery Channel)
Heeeeeeeather
Ugh. Just make sure you shoes are comfy, rest between runs, and track your runs with an app. You're here to run and not to spend cash
What about a bottle of Water????
My kit:
1 birthday suit
🙄
😳 🖖->😂
You just need dedication. Everything else are just supplements
You are right, i always run naked, but with a lot of dedication!
All u need is love.. 😂 Trust me
Tldr feet
Second
Legs and feet, that was a short video.
And indeed a lot of my friends from Paralympic team would not 100% agree.
