Great video as always. Have followed your coaching for seven years and transformed my running. Is today’s teaching a new development, as you have previously always put emphasis on driving the knee forward. I have done this and always tired myself out. Tried this new development and it makes such a difference? Many thanks Stuart.
These videos are so good with such precious advice that I often watch them twice! So many great videos over the years! This in a sea of bad and conflicting info about running training. But the good training regardless if you run trail or asphalt always seems to include the same basic things, hills, stairs, single leg exercises and drills. Hills are SO important, amateur runners can gain strength without injuring themselves if they apply the same power on the flat; hurt my back that way, body wasn't FULLY ready for that speed, and it wasn't really necessary. But you can go ALL OUT no problem on some uphill repeats.
Another banger, Coach. I spent a week in Alaska and was able to hit some trails and get some hill work in and for sure it helps cadence! Thanks for all the help
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.The two things that has helped me In my uphill running is the stair climber at the gym and walking up steep hills in a weighted vest
@@michaelalbrecht3395 awesome thank you. And keep in mind (for those reading) the purpose of this was not how to run hills better, but to use steep hills to make cadence better. Also, weighted vests are a slippery slopes, as they can create more ground contact time and venture more to strength than power and elastic energy. Thanks for the great comment and keep running strong!
@@BornToRunCoach Running hills is what I struggle with most. I need to go back through the library to figure out how to get better at it before next race season (races with descent amount of vert).

Rock Lobster is playing in my mind all the time. I learned that song from you and it helps a lot.
"Many coaches teach run form based on what it looks like. Many athletes focus on what their form looks like rather than what it feels like. Doing repetition of skills trains the mind and the body to understand what good feels like. That's the key." I'm guilty of this as an athlete. Thanks for pointing this out.
Subtle comment but huge take home. So glad you picked up on that. Elite athletes practice a feeling! A swim feels a good strike. A tennis players feels a good serve. A picture feels a strike. They know, before it is complete!
I have a hill half that long with almost the same gradient and I was afraid to run it all uphill because of how high my heart rate will go. But I'm gonna try it now, that cadence is slowly going up this last year..
@@EnoughBull don't do it all of the time, maybe every few weeks and see improvement thru time. You may need to do running intervals at first, like I did at the top.
@@BornToRunCoach Oh, thank you so much for the advice! Will split that uphill into intervals with hike rest for sure. Once every few weeks sounds great! Best and most pertinent running talk channel ever! Learned so much from you!

your attitude and approach to running is something that i strive to extend to my life. enriching. ty
@@knytex best comment ever, made my day. Thank you and keep running strong.

The mindset shift to a focus on putting force in the ground instead of lifting the leg is a game changer.
@@zipzap3211 subtle but dramatic.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together Eric, great vlog, as always.
@@robertburpee9473 nice, glad you liked it and hope you are doing well.
Thank you for another great video! 🎉🎉🎉
Great tips with explanations! . Thanks
Thanks for the video. I think it helped my run today. I'd love a video or just advice on how to dress for runs during colder weather.
Thank you
You got it!

Ha, it seeps into the brain and doesn't let go!

Eric, I use the knee up queue. I feel like it better engages the glute creating leg stiffness. Should the queue be the down force motion? Thank you.
Wow, what a difference it makes! I used to pick up my knees and tired myself out. Thanks coach! 👍
@@mkgreenluv big time. Keep running strong!

It's a bit of a mindfuck to focus on pushing down when running, but I'll keep practising until I get it right =)
@@robinsvensson7138 make it a lifetime of practice and it will help you ralax and stay patient.
Thank you for this! I seem to end up running on my toes a little too much, making my calves super tight. Anyone else have this issue?
The skills training will take care of that. And be sure to let the heel kiss the ground when running flat.
Thank you!!🙏
