My big problem is trying to chase down other runners. I’ll set off for an easy long run and then suddenly...THERE’S ANOTHER RUNNER 200 YARDS IN FRONT OF ME! Suddenly I’m in the Olympic final, chasing a medal...
Here is one of my favourites: You are on a slow run, everything is going fine and relaxy, and then somebody you know is coming towards you. There goes the easy pace, you speed up even though you know that "who cares" and you really should know better at this stage. Yes, that's me, but I am going to fix it all at once. Watch me on my next run 😊
Guilty of most of these. Best laugh of the week. Shamed myself so badly watching this. Even today I ran 11km knowing tomorrow is a long run and knew it was a mistake but I carried on thinking 'I'll take it easier tomorrow, I'll be fine'. 🤦♀️
I tend to run too fast in places that are crowded. Like all the noise and people around makes me nervous so I speed up without realizing it until I start feeling really tired and sore. Fast tempo songs do the same, they get me excited so I speed up.
It’s a travesty that Rick’s acting skills were not recognised at the Golden Globes! Thanks all at the running channel for the informative and entertaining vid’s 😁
Feeling a tinge and then going to see a doc about it here in the States is way too pricey without good insurance. Impossibly expensive with high deductible, crappy insurance or without insurance at all. Best to just rest up and hope it gets better. 🏃♀️
Yes, just be aware if the pain gets worse when you're doing exercise if you can't afford to see a doctor. I often just have little aches, but actual injuries should last longer, and if the pain gets worse, STOP.
this is no joke. I had a (major insurance large facility) general dr sneak me a cortisone injection for a neuroma because the orthopedic department had an 11 month wait.
I think about this all the time watching this channel. Freedom can be tied to healthcare, the USA needs to get on board with universal healthcare if it wants to keep boasting about freedom.
The number of times I’ve said “just gonna take it easy today” and then when out running I realise that I’m at the start of a Strava segment. The ‘easy run’ is quickly forgotten, I’m going for it! 😂
Lovely to see all of you again, I think am guilty of most of these. I did a 6 mile run today!! And didn’t warm up or cool down and definitely feel it now. I must listen 👍🏼😆
I skipped rest days before Christmas. NEVER AGAIN. I then got injured. Now I schedule in regular rest days and always go for a walk instead on those days. And have swapped one run for a strength training... And use the running channel’s exercises for that. It’s worked. I just got a personal best half marathon this weekend and have never felt better!
Ran 50km on Sunday, realised today (3 days later) that the only direct carbs I have had since is 60g of rice, a bagel and 4 slices of bread. Have accidently skipped a breakfast, lunch and dinner as well over those 3 days! Also did an hour of HIIT and a half marathon (Monday and Tuesday). Trying to work out now why I feel so tired, crabby and nearly cried as the prospect of walking home from work today... So yes, should have planned nutrition a little better for before and after!
Definitely guilty of the first one. Remember doing the New Years Day Parkrun double and thinking to myself on the first run, got to take it slow. Ended up beating my PB by around 30 seconds!!
I am ssssssooooooo guilty of the easy run day not being easy!! I only found out recently that I have been running my easy long run days at tempo pace!!! Eeeeeppp not a good thing!!! Great video again guys!!!!! In running we trust 😀😀😀😀😀
Definitely the warm up and cool down guilty as charged.. although I do now include some activation bits before,, but my cool down stretches are a little lacking 🙄
All so familiar! Currently healing a metatarsal stress fracture (2nd time in three years) - behaving as I want to get back OUT, but these are so accurate. I love the Running Channel, always good content to make us THINK - and hopefully react. Certainly plenty to think about and action from this one. Thanks, guys!
This video was great! I'm currently working on repairing my feet after years of plantar fasciitis. That's not an exaggeration. I don't like going to the doctor for every little thing, so I tend to build up a list and then head in. The "pain" segment is definitely me!
I'm much more likely to talk myself out of running intervals than to run too hard on an easy run. But I'm guilty of most of these. I'm big into strength training and cross training though. 💪
This is a pretty good list. The only clear cut obvious one that I'm actually NOT guilty of, is that I pretty much NEVER skip rest days! As far as skipping warm ups go, I bring a whole new meaning to the word GUILTY! I skip it like you've never seen skipping before. I'm a little bit better with warm downs though. I find that the best warm down after a long run is a very slow walk. As for refuelling after runs, does ice cream count?
I wrap my feet with KT tape. I highly recommend this as it provides extra support, esp. if you have low arches. My feet rarely hurt, and I've never had an injury, even after a long run.
Not sure if this a "thing" but in the pre-race chat and huddle at parkrun, remember them?, "oh I am taking it easy today" then when the RD starts the race the "competitive" gene kicks in and off you whizz at full beans. That might have been me on occasion 😊😊
The other day I was listening to a pro italian marathoner and he said he never do a warm up. He just start to run the first 2-3k at slow pace and after that he begins to ramp up the speed. He said he never had any problem doing so.
Running easy on "easy" days was always a challenge for me because I wanted to show a faster pace on Strava. (I know - pure vanity) Now I make sure to label them as such. BTW, what is that area that Manni ran through? Quite beautiful.
Another great video. I find that closely following my Garmin training plan (including the specific instructions for each run) can help deal with a lot of these faux pas, which I am otherwise very frequently guilty of. Also a lot of the post-run routines you guys have shared have helped me a lot. Thanks!
Love this video. Rick looks like he is in shape, well done. If I'm honest I'm guilty of it all, though not all at once. Great refresher though I'm grateful for it.
Always enjoy the videos....maybe it’s just me, but part of what’s sets TRC apart from other running channels is the humor. Every other channel I’ve seen is endlessly serious...heck, if I did one id end up too serious as well which is another reason I don’t do it....keep scripting in humor....good content is important but since everything in the world is all at our fingertips, keep your humor and spontaneity....those add an honest uniqueness and are much easer to connect with! As always, well done!
Michael, thanks so much for taking the time to share this. It's really amazing to hear that our crazy sense of humour resonates well with people, and that you learn a little something too - awesome 😊. Keep watching - there's more to come!
Ps, thanks for being such an active and wonderful part of our FB community. We like to leave that to you guys mostly, but we see what’s going on and the friendships and support you’ve built is amazing. Thank you 🙏
@@runningchannel And we owe it all to TRC. Certainly unexpected. I tell all my friends about the community and what I’ve learned about running, different countries, cultures, etc. I’m not one to assume or judge since each place is so different...yet, in many ways, humans are amazingly similar (not a surprise since I thankfully did not grow up in a cave)....but during a year when no one can travel, I suddenly have friends throughout the world. Keep up the great work! And yes, we are all going to need to spring for a TRC shirt to rep this great community you have created!
I've stopped taking rest days, but I do consider easy runs after a hard workout or long runs as a "recovery run". I actually experience a whole lot fewer overuse injuries now than when I took rest days - I think my legs like the active recovery better. (I also have ongoing afternoon fatigue issues due to no longer having a thyroid that are lessened when I run in the morning, so I often feel really, really bad later in the day when I don't run - but this might be just a "me" thing.) We're all different, some people do really well not taking a rest day.
Hi Sarah 😊 I'm the same! I have fibromyalgia and active recovery is the only option for me. If I stop moving for too long I seize up and the fatigue gets me. So a 5km easy run is my rest day! You're so right, some people do much better not taking a "traditional" rest day. 😊
I"ll just do my 10k today. Oh, I feel so good, lets add an extra 5k. I'll rest tomorrow. Tomorrow comes: yesterday felt so great. I want to feel that good again. I do it again today, and tomorrow. Who needs that rest? I don't! Running stronger than ever! Oh, I need that rest now. Just a day will fix that niggle. 8 weeks of rest later: rehab run #1 .... The problem is dopamine addiction.
it's all too easy to forget sunscreen when you have darker skin. Once I tan up in the summer I keep slacking on sunscreen since I don't burn, but just because there aren't immediate consequences doesn't mean you can skip it! (I keep telling everyone else, as I continue forgetting sunscreen..)
I really love how you guys are making such videos .and its amazing content love that . first time watched the full video from The Running channel and it so amazing content.
When I watch these videos and my cat is sat on me, she jumps a mile when the bell icon sounds! 😂 And yeah, I'm guilty of a few of these! Although I do love strength training, I get too scrawny if I don't lift weights.
My problem is usually too far, too fast and too soon. Having recently had 6 months off due to injury, and gaining weight and losing fitness, I’m taking it really slowly and cross and strength training instead several days each week.
Guilty of some, but a question on the “different surfaces”. I’ve always reasoned that running off-road is beneficial for technique too. By running on an uneven surface I need to vary my stride and be “light on my feet”. Does that make any sense or is it just placebo?
I was guilty of 8 of these during my last half-marathon prep and it ended up by me being injured after the race and not being able to run for three months. I am just starting to get back into training but this time I'm going to be smarter and maybe be guilty of just 4 or 5 of these. 🙄😁
It surprisingly seems like I'm about 88% perfect runner 😂 the only thing I am guilty of is running easy days too hard, almost weekly, and occassionaly skipping cool downs 😅 what can I say, I often feel my best on easy runs 😂 I was at some point guilty of all these things, but, I learned my lesson
I'm more guilty of chasing targets. Like challenges on the garmin app, I need an extra 20 miles into my weekly runs for those extra points. Yeah, I'll get out and do it.
Thanks for all the videos, keep up running ... the good work! What if there is only road surfaces around your place to run, no grass/soil or running track?
LMAO at "I really need to take it really really slow... I could really go for a new PB.... but no I really need to take it easy... ZOOM AND OFF LIKE A CHEETAH "... I've been there too many times. Too funny!
I had the bad habit of trying something new for an event. I've since learned that its best to stick with what was done in training leading up to the event.
#5. One of my good friends ran a marathon and immediately jumped in the car for a long road trip. He ended up in the hospital with a blood clot in his lungs. Yikes. Lesson learned from his mistake!
Guilty of all of it, back in 2017 I ignored an injury and could not finish a half marathon, diagnosis, fracture on the left femoral hip which took me to the operating room and could not run a fall marathon I had that same year
Yes! Got nine out of ten!🎉🎉🎉 Just missed #8, no problem in emptying the fridge after any run... but I don't always foamroll, do I still get a free t-shirt?!🤣
Lol I have done a lot of these. 😂😂😂 I always warm up bar the one time I didn’t I pulled my calf muscle at the end of last year. 8 weeks out was horrible. I never skip a warm up now and always have a walk recovery after. Lesson learnt haha.
Forgetting sunscreen and forgetting to warm up, cool down. I've felt them during my runs and the next day...sucks. now I am always making sure I'm warmed up and I do a proper cool down. Sunscreen is always a forgotten one though.
I have picked up a pain in my quad in January but still ran in February and found I can run through the pain. I am nervous about going to get it checked due to Covid and wasting doctors time. On the other hand I don’t know if a rest is all I need.
Sorry to hear this Martyn. Is there a physio you could chat to online perhaps? Running through pain can sometimes lead to a bigger injury, so it's best to chat with a pro who can give you a diagnosis and exercises for recovery.
Running on the same surface, I run three to five kilometres in front of my house from one end of the compound to another, the pavement blocks are concrete and very hard but saves me time and I don't have to carry anything and can run hands free, but I run alone and get bored easily but my family plays tennis and I don't.
Hello The Running Channel! I absolutely love all your videos and I learn a lot from them! I have a question that I’m not sure about. I always go running on a morning after breakfast (I give time after I’ve eaten) generally I run on a morning because I do late shifts at work. Is it good as part of improving your running, to go on a run different times on different days? Thank you for reading 🙂
Thanks Melissa for watching and it really depends entirely on you and what suits your schedule best. From what you've said late shifts at work prevent you from running later and this may be a blessing in disguise as some people can struggle to sleep properly after exercise in the evening. Others say exercising in the morning sets them up for the day - so this could be going in your favour! If you're not seeing the progress you'd like with your training, try mixing it up a bit. Incorporate some speed work (fartleks are a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/KMf1pilGFac/w-d-xo.html), as well as a long run each week. Hope this helps and good luck!
Top tip - pop some Vaseline or similar along your eyebrows which acts as a barrier to stop it from dripping down and stinging your eyes! Lots of brands do sport-specific sunscreen which is less likely to budge when you sweat (allegedly)
2020 is the first year I’ve done strength training - and the first year I’ve improved! Have to grit my teeth and do it - but I’d rather be running. Also sunny day = get out there! That’s me. Really bad at rest days in the nice weather. And sun-burnt nose - guilty.
Incorporating the warm up in the first km of the run is the habit I am most fond. I run at 9kph for the first 500m before ramping up to my higher pace. Is there a way to keep it?
I only run on my town's rec trail because that's the only place *to* run lol. Everywhere else is either too traffic-heavy, private property, or under construction (American Midwest = always some road construction). The trail is 99% concrete, too. Give me dirt, dang it!
I watched the whole video but the first one realy hits home with me I usually use the treadmill so when I run on the ground I find myself running faster than I usually do which makes me get burnt out quicker than what I'm used to. I really need to work on pacing myself
My city isn’t a safe place to run, so a bad habit would be during the day-going alone, or without telling someone, or without a defensive weapon, and if running at night without lighted gear. Traffic isn’t looking out for you, and even if criminals aren’t targeting you, animals off-leash or wild ones are. I had to force myself to take the time to get my gear fully prepared & my mind to be an independent grownup and make sure I always ran with a buddy and/or informed someone that I should be back by... It’s sad to think that in this free country you can’t freely run.
Guilty of about 6 of these.....I'm asking for no jail time in Runner jail, just probation, and I'm gonna work on them, especially the rest days and cross train😁
Guilty as charged on most of them. Do you have any guidance on planter fasciitis? I’m suffering like mad with it in my right heel. I’ve looked at loads of different websites and there appears to be conflicting information... I need help please.
Spotted your bad habit? Or is your running buddy guilty of one of these? Let us know in the comments below 👇
Yes... found guilty at least 7 of it.... hahhahah
Skipping cross or strength training is definitely me 😔
I do not have a running buddy
Love you guys!!!

Rest days are a societal construct created by big furniture to sell more couches.

Relatable!!
Guilty as charged... especially on longer runs. I get bored, but can really regret it later. 🤣🤷🏻♀️
I even do the commentary in my head as I increase my pace
Me too
🤣
Here is one of my favourites: You are on a slow run, everything is going fine and relaxy, and then somebody you know is coming towards you. There goes the easy pace, you speed up even though you know that "who cares" and you really should know better at this stage. Yes, that's me, but I am going to fix it all at once. Watch me on my next run 😊
Oh absolutely! This happened to me really recently!
SAME
Why YES :")
Guilty of most of these. Best laugh of the week. Shamed myself so badly watching this. Even today I ran 11km knowing tomorrow is a long run and knew it was a mistake but I carried on thinking 'I'll take it easier tomorrow, I'll be fine'. 🤦♀️
I tend to run too fast in places that are crowded. Like all the noise and people around makes me nervous so I speed up without realizing it until I start feeling really tired and sore. Fast tempo songs do the same, they get me excited so I speed up.
I don't have a specific bad habit. I like variety, so I switch up my bad habit with each run! 😂
😂😂😂
😂
This got me
It’s a travesty that Rick’s acting skills were not recognised at the Golden Globes!
Thanks all at the running channel for the informative and entertaining vid’s 😁
Lol
Guilty of at least 6 of these. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
This should be added to there video “ How you know you are a runner haha. Everyone is guilty. 😂😂
Warm up? That's just a few coffees during the morning at work
Cool down? That's the afternoon sat down at work after my lunch run 😂😂
Feeling a tinge and then going to see a doc about it here in the States is way too pricey without good insurance. Impossibly expensive with high deductible, crappy insurance or without insurance at all. Best to just rest up and hope it gets better. 🏃♀️
Yes, just be aware if the pain gets worse when you're doing exercise if you can't afford to see a doctor. I often just have little aches, but actual injuries should last longer, and if the pain gets worse, STOP.
Yep getting a drs appt in the UK is pretty tricky !
Facts.
this is no joke. I had a (major insurance large facility) general dr sneak me a cortisone injection for a neuroma because the orthopedic department had an 11 month wait.

Haha! Top work, Chris, well spotted 👌

Good heavens! Is Alexa sharing my bad habits with the Running Channel? I have to stop chatting with her after my runs 🤣🤣🤣
I actually lol'd at about 9:05 when he changed his form and went "Let's goooo." Very funny!
I've never skipped a rest day, in fact I've had a rest day every day for the past two years!
Gotta get that recovery in
Definitely guilty of the first one. Remember doing the New Years Day Parkrun double and thinking to myself on the first run, got to take it slow. Ended up beating my PB by around 30 seconds!!

Not skipping rest days is such a good practice - so very well done to you! I think so many of us skip that warm up, so you are not alone there.
@@runningchannel, I forgot to add that, running hard during easy runs most likely means that the ego is at work! 😊
I do much fewer of these nowadays (thanks for all the tips and guidance over the past 2 years TRC) but I used to do most of them. Great video 😊
Thanks for sharing Karen and well done!

What if there is only road surfaces around your place to run, no grass/soil or running track?
i love your channel !! guilty on 3 counts
maybe 5…😅
LMAO at "I really need to take it really really slow... I could really go for a new PB.... but no I really need to take it easy... ZOOM AND OFF LIKE A CHEETAH "... I've been there too many times. Too funny!
I had the bad habit of trying something new for an event. I've since learned that its best to stick with what was done in training leading up to the event.
Great list! You guys nailed some heavy hitters here :D
I feel personally attacked haha, pretty sure I've done all of these!
Oh my word! I literally laughed out loud at some of these. Guilty of a few....
I was laughing as the video progressed... I’m guilty of every single one of those points hahaha oooooops!
#5. One of my good friends ran a marathon and immediately jumped in the car for a long road trip. He ended up in the hospital with a blood clot in his lungs. Yikes. Lesson learned from his mistake!
Guilty of all of it, back in 2017 I ignored an injury and could not finish a half marathon, diagnosis, fracture on the left femoral hip which took me to the operating room and could not run a fall marathon I had that same year
Ooooohhh ouch! So sorry to hear that Melida! But sound advice for us runners for sure!
Yes! Got nine out of ten!🎉🎉🎉 Just missed #8, no problem in emptying the fridge after any run... but I don't always foamroll, do I still get a free t-shirt?!🤣
Haha, well done Fabio 😊
Lol I have done a lot of these. 😂😂😂
I always warm up bar the one time I didn’t I pulled my calf muscle at the end of last year. 8 weeks out was horrible. I never skip a warm up now and always have a walk recovery after. Lesson learnt haha.
Forgetting sunscreen and forgetting to warm up, cool down. I've felt them during my runs and the next day...sucks. now I am always making sure I'm warmed up and I do a proper cool down. Sunscreen is always a forgotten one though.
Thanks for watching and hope our tip about leaving the sunscreen by the front door helped 😊
Omg is me all over 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Haha! I think we're ALL guilty of some of these!
Nice job!
Thanks Anna!
Not drinking enough and dont feel like food after a run. Guilty. Lots of skin cancer so I'm covered all the time....easier than lotion
Rick getting out of bed all sore should be a gif that plays on our phones and watches once we finish a run and don't do a cool down 😆
I have picked up a pain in my quad in January but still ran in February and found I can run through the pain. I am nervous about going to get it checked due to Covid and wasting doctors time. On the other hand I don’t know if a rest is all I need.
Sorry to hear this Martyn. Is there a physio you could chat to online perhaps? Running through pain can sometimes lead to a bigger injury, so it's best to chat with a pro who can give you a diagnosis and exercises for recovery.
There has to be some golden outtakes with this video. You can’t just run with a camera on a selfie stick on a crowded UK street without incident. 😂
Haha - yes, thanks for watching!
Not drinking enough water, fixing it all at once and - omg - forgetting sunscreen (and i live in the Southern US)!!
Running on the same surface, I run three to five kilometres in front of my house from one end of the compound to another, the pavement blocks are concrete and very hard but saves me time and I don't have to carry anything and can run hands free, but I run alone and get bored easily but my family plays tennis and I don't.
Hello The Running Channel!
I absolutely love all your videos and I learn a lot from them!
I have a question that I’m not sure about. I always go running on a morning after breakfast (I give time after I’ve eaten) generally I run on a morning because I do late shifts at work. Is it good as part of improving your running, to go on a run different times on different days?
Thank you for reading 🙂
@therunningchannel
Thanks Melissa for watching and it really depends entirely on you and what suits your schedule best. From what you've said late shifts at work prevent you from running later and this may be a blessing in disguise as some people can struggle to sleep properly after exercise in the evening. Others say exercising in the morning sets them up for the day - so this could be going in your favour!
If you're not seeing the progress you'd like with your training, try mixing it up a bit. Incorporate some speed work (fartleks are a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/KMf1pilGFac/w-d-xo.html), as well as a long run each week.
Hope this helps and good luck!
Skipping the warm up is my main bad habit. I always remember once out on my run.
Only time I did a warm up for a run I tore a muscle, never again. Just take the first 1km steady and all is fine. Parkrun back June 5th!
Eeek how strange, David! Maybe some more gentle warm up exercises to start would suit?
Yep - can't wait for parkrun to come back! 😊
What is the best sunscreen to use that won't run into your eyes and feel greasy in the heat?
P20 face is brilliant
Top tip - pop some Vaseline or similar along your eyebrows which acts as a barrier to stop it from dripping down and stinging your eyes! Lots of brands do sport-specific sunscreen which is less likely to budge when you sweat (allegedly)
2020 is the first year I’ve done strength training - and the first year I’ve improved! Have to grit my teeth and do it - but I’d rather be running. Also sunny day = get out there! That’s me. Really bad at rest days in the nice weather. And sun-burnt nose - guilty.
That is really great to hear, Linda! And well done for being disciplined with it 😊
Incorporating the warm up in the first km of the run is the habit I am most fond. I run at 9kph for the first 500m before ramping up to my higher pace. Is there a way to keep it?
Good grief, it’s like you’re watching me!
Me: rolls my ankle
"ehhhhhh.....I'm sure it will be fine."
*goes on a run*
"OHHHHHH SHOOOOTTTTTTTT"
I only run on my town's rec trail because that's the only place *to* run lol. Everywhere else is either too traffic-heavy, private property, or under construction (American Midwest = always some road construction). The trail is 99% concrete, too. Give me dirt, dang it!
you guys dont need to film and run, its clear enough already this is the running channel :)
I watched the whole video but the first one realy hits home with me I usually use the treadmill so when I run on the ground I find myself running faster than I usually do which makes me get burnt out quicker than what I'm used to. I really need to work on pacing myself
Thanks for watching Ibrahim! And definitely try some different surfaces for your running as this will help improve your fitness for sure 😊
Just a few...9/10. 🥲
😂😂😂
Very good video
Thank you!
Good advice
Glad it was helpful!
No 1 me do it often, and number 9 i never use sun cream, great video
I like running very much.
Can u suggest me what to eat before n after run.
My city isn’t a safe place to run, so a bad habit would be during the day-going alone, or without telling someone, or without a defensive weapon, and if running at night without lighted gear. Traffic isn’t looking out for you, and even if criminals aren’t targeting you, animals off-leash or wild ones are. I had to force myself to take the time to get my gear fully prepared & my mind to be an independent grownup and make sure I always ran with a buddy and/or informed someone that I should be back by...
It’s sad to think that in this free country you can’t freely run.
Guilty of about 6 of these.....I'm asking for no jail time in Runner jail, just probation, and I'm gonna work on them, especially the rest days and cross train😁
Guilty as charged on most of them.
Do you have any guidance on planter fasciitis? I’m suffering like mad with it in my right heel.
I’ve looked at loads of different websites and there appears to be conflicting information... I need help please.
