running in the woods, on uneven terrain, helps prevent injuries. trains a larger variety of muscles in your legs when your feet arent always flat. Once your used to it youre far less likely to twist an ankle. my friends mom who runs in the woods told me this.
Barefoot runner here. I agree 100%. Uneven random trails, even if they're not soft and cushy, feel much better than uniform, hard surfaces or even a track.
Running in woods - uphill, downhill, uneven terrain, much more difficult. It strengthens your muscles from foot up. Flat running is relatively easy and I can do 2 to 4 times the time and distance. I am not a professional running.
Also balance
Really applies to most modern exercise. Weightlifting obsesses about targeting specific muscles. Huge gyms filled with dozens of machines to hit a specific muscle.
Just lift a barbell.
Norway has always been such an "alien" place for me, living on literally the other side of the world in Chile xD. Seeing running and fitness channels of other parts of the world is always beautiful and interesting, and you make them really interesting too. As your challenge is to run on snow, here races have a lot of dune hills and well we have the Andes so the mountains are pretty tough too. Your channel is entretaining and you have a very positive mindset without falling into the "cringe positivity" terrirory a lot of other fitness channels do. Good job and greetings from chile!
Thanks for your nice comment! Glad to hear you like my channel 😊
For me was Chille like Norway of South America. Endless coast, big mountains and very unihabited corners
New here, really like what you said...
@@goranwinblad are you not from Sweden?
All from around the world runners are runners, you definitely opened my eyes with this comment!
That Ice 🧊 slide was Sick!!! Keep running fun 👌
😀
That's one of my favourite things about winter, and likely why I've never broken a bone - practicing how to recover from a slip.
I was a track runner in the late 1970's/early'80's, & most of us runners tried to train like American runner, Steve Prefontaine who truly pushed training to an extreme threshold. He was an outgoing and well liked sort of fellow and was along with many other distance runners, a media celebrated star athlete which is rarely seen among distance runners today.
Tragically, Steve Prefontaine died in a car crash in 1975, long before he reached his peak, but somehow his early death solidified him as a legend, so we tried to emulate his training routine, where we might run 200km each week on top of intervals, fartlek runs, weight training, etc. Looking back, it was far too much training for most of us, so we ended up losing a lot of training time to injury. Most of us would have been better off reducing the amount of our training. I now realize, that the optimum training routine can be radically different for each individual athlete. Although most of us pushed the limit, I remember, that our best 800 meter runner who ran an 800 meter race in 1:47 which was pretty fast in those days, only ran around 40km's a week and smoked Kool cigarettes! Everyone is at least a little different from the next person.
I ran in jr college in Arizona. One of my team mates was an alcoholic Navajo. He'd run the steeple chase in under 10 which was a decent jr college time.
I agree, if i could go back i would train less,essentially the weight training...The no pain, no gain generation.
That IS a beautiful stride. I ran 35 marathons starting at age 60, in about 8 years, until i lost cartilage in one knee from taking falls. May be able to get a new replacement cartilage soon (fingers crossed!) and hope to run again. This time focus on speed, but just running was so much fun and felt so great. Thank you for some more inspiration.
Try PRP therapy.
@@papeetechild Thanks! Looking into it.
How are you doing these days? I wish you the best.
I remember a time when I was about 13, almost 190cm tall already. I was out at a hiking park with family and I got bored just walking and started running. It felt so easy, so fun, that it was like flying through the park. It felt effortless and when I got back to the parking lot I had run almost 5km. I was not very physically gifted, not in great shape, just tall for my age. It was surprising as even after that run, at a long loping pace, it felt like I had just dunked after a long time in the sauna. It felt like I was refreshed. Thank you for sharing today.
Thank you for sharing
190cm at 13 years old WTF. Are you a Giant?
@@frog6054 That's just over 6 feet tall. I knew a couple kids in my 7th grade "house" (basically a section on the 2nd floor) that were about 6 feet. That was just in that group on that floor and my middle school had 3 floors so there were others 12 and 13 year olds that were pretty tall too outside of that section. It's funny though how I was only 5'4 (162.5 cm) near the end of 7th grade (the summer before I was 5' or 152.4 cm so I had a nice 4 inch growth spurt) but I had bigger hands than the tallest kid in my house.
@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035
Damn, I'm from southeast Asia so we tend to be smaller, seeing people from Europe/america casually Tower us makes me feel insecure lol.
I feel trail running easier on my joints than road running. At least after building up the muscular stability so you don’t turn your ankle. The repetivity of a long road run gives me more issues with my hips.
Yeah I feel the same also I enjoy trail running a lot more 😊
really interesting and inspiring to see what Gunder was able to do on his minimalist (by today's standards) training program! Kinda makes you wonder whether today's training plans have lost something fundamental and essential.You're fortunate to have found a copy of his book. Great video!
Thanks, glad to hear you found it interesting 😊
I mean... people are running faster today so I'd say there's some advantages, theres also plenty of people training poorly regardless of the tools available.
All that science, and so little progress. People collectively knew a lot more than we do now with all our technology. Its 2022 and there are still debates on what's a good diet....
This is one of the best segments I have ever seen on youtube. Honoring the person I regard as the greatest middle-long distance runner of all time. His summer season 1942, which ran to 82 days, included an incredible number of world records, and he was unbeaten of course. My particular favorite story about him is what a German paratrooper said on seeing him run in 1942. He was totally impressed by the wonderful smooth running stride/style. The German was Rudolf Harbig, himself a legend and world record holder, for all distances from 400 m to 1000 m. So between him and Gunder they held all WRs from 400 m to 5 K. In his "mythical" all time races written in the early 60s, Roberto Quercetani, arguably the greatest track and field expert of our time, placed Gunder first in the 5 K (over Kuts/Zatopek etc.) and third in the 1500 m (behind Snell and Elliott).
I was once a pretty good runner and swimmer... 30 yrs of (heavy) smoking and drinking have ruined me... i miss it so much and have cut WAY down on my consumption with a goal to be at least a 1/4 of what i once was over the next year or so... that might not seem like a big deal, but in reality it is huge!! A video like this comes across my feed and helps to give me even more drive... coming so far in only a few months, I need to go further now, videos like this help the drive, thanks!!
I hope you are doing well and hanging in there.
@@markohakkola5180 better than expected... thanks!!
Good luck.... and hope you are still on track. Made a simillar decision 4 months ago - stop smoking, start running again. If you loved it once, you'll love it again. all the best mate
@@mdh6977 hows the running/swimming been going?
What can we learn from him ?
Probably simplicity - No cellphone and internet, less distraction , less stress, more sleep, good air , clean water, natural food ( at least as good back then as the best organic things nowadays ) and no heart rate smart watches!
Just feeling and intuition - and talent I think !
By the way - your power slide on ice was pretty cool !!
What makes you think organic means anything at all? Theres no actual definition for the term, you can't possibly know if anything marked organic is meaningfully different from non organic, whatever that is. Because again.... there's no actual definition for either term.
There's also absolutely zero nutritional or health advantages to foods sold as organic.
It's just another scam you have been sold by modern corporations, and ironically it's just another complication separating you from the simpler past you idolize so much.
@@DrewLSsix well - perhaps there are different labels of being „organic“ in different countries.
Over here it is a clear definition which kind of fertilizers can be used for instance and of course any kind of genetic manipulated seeds or anything like this is completely forbidden.
The difference in in taste ca be quite huge - chicken or chicken eggs for instance are completely different between those which are organic to those which are not ! ( The extensive use of hormons and antibiotics plays a huge role for meat and these products in general ).
Of course there are probably quite some totten apples among various products though
@@DrewLSsix In 1900 they used cow or chicken poop and compost to fertilize the soil for plants. There was no concept of "organic' or conventional or GMO. People were healthier but when there was no proper sanitation then there was disease. Now, we have to look at how say, potatoes are farmed to see if they are healthy and tagged organically produced to know their quality. More organic = better quality and taste.
I'm quite new to running. Or, correction: I have tried before but the combination of bad shape and boring tracks didn't motivate me to continue.
But once I started to run in the nature/trail runs it all got easier.
Every now and then I run a 5km floodlit trail where I can measure my progress, but in between it doesn't matter if the pace is slow in the forest.
Thanks for sharing, and congrats to getting into running in the nature, it's so much fun! 😊
I love how you narrate everything, it's like talking with a cup of coffee with you learning and relearning the options in running.
This was a masterpiece! One can really see that you put your soul into this one. I'm proud to be your brother.
Thanks Kjell, makes me really happy to hear, proud to be your brother as well 😊
That slide on the ice was so smooth 👌🏼
😀
Great video! You honored him well with your history lessons and your training. I love that ice slide during the fartlek run! Looks like you live and train in a beautiful area.
Thanks Greg 😊
I left road running around 2010, trails are so much better. Trails being uneven is a great help in reducing the repetitiveness of impacts reducing the chance for repetitive stress injuries. I believe it also helps develop the smaller muscles in and around the hips, knees, and ankles as minor movements are constantly being done to deal with unevenness, up hills, downhills, slippery, soft sandy and unstable conditions. I don't think I went 2 years without an injury that took me off the roads. On the trail, I have maybe had two that slowed me down. Oh and I switched to trail at age 50.
Wish we had trail running abilities in London
First time seeing your channel and what a terrific and special treat it was! I had only heard a tiny bit about Gunder Hagg so this was a fascinating history lesson with excellent running commentary tied in nicely. As you mentioned, his running stride is an absolute masterpiece to watch and strive to emulate. Watching people like him run is what makes this sport of running so special. Thanks again and I look forward to more of your videos.
Welcome to the channel, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Really nice video! Your videos started to show up on my feed since I started to pick up daily running recently! Subscribed!
11:40 THAT WAS AWESOME!! The music was perfect. Great job!
Thanks 😀
I still always crack up a little, when runners talk about modern tech. In other sports, like cycling, or tennis, any somewhat experienced amateur with today’s equipment would be a record setter in the 40’s. I’m sure high-tech shoes help pros shave off a tiny bit of time and set records, but comparatively, the impact is as small as it gets :P
It’s such a joy watching you talk about running and it’s history. Your passion is obvious and infectious. Great video my man. Thanks for the history and training lesson!
Thanks Christopher glad to hear you liked it 😃
Its so inspiring to see what you do and what you said in this video! Often i stress myself to train more, but my body dont want it because it is tired from the training before! Its nice to see that also good runners dont do everyday 1 hour runs
Svensk som jag är så skriver jag på svenska😊.
Gillar dina videos skarpt! Varje gång du laddar upp en ny så vill man se den med en gång. Grymt bra jobbat!! Talang i löpning o youtubeing💪
Tack Samuel kul att höra 😊
Great video! I come from almost the same place as Gunder in Sweden and live just across the lake from the farm he worked and often trained at in his early running days. If i remember correctly the owner of the farm also coached him in his early days. The same farmer also coached another running legend, Henry Kälarne, some years before Gunder Hägg.
When I was running I sure thought about the great runners before me that came from the same place as me and it kept me motivated!
I love inspiring people, who push themselves to excel. And I've never heard of this man. Will check him out! Thank you for educating me.
Terrence, Cape Town
Just happened upon this today and was very pleasantly surprised by the way you went back in time to compare Gunder's regimen and overall how people thought about training back then. A couple of observations: 1) the low amount of training miles probably saved him from injury since he ran so hard most days, and 2) I really love the connection he had to running trails to clear your mind, and I share that viewpoint. Just think of what he might have been able to do now with current methods and equipment. What a graceful stride as well, and so efficient. Thanks for your thoughtful video on running back in the day, it was great to watch. Also, my grandfather's name was Gunder, so you know I had to watch!
Great video thanks. Nicely presented, in a friendly and familiar style. So interesting! And to think Gunter retired at 27! He could have possibly broken 4 minute mile many years before Bannister?
I think you are spot on regarding the injury prevention. Great video!
Here by chance but stayed to watch the whole video. Congratulations, good to see your effort, it is a beautiful video. At my age, now 81, I have been studying past physical adventurers from before "modern" era methods of training & have concluded that the simpler the training the better the result. Thank you.
Great video. He clearly had an abundance of natural ability to go with lots of heart & desire.
I wonder how accurate this training information was?
Very sad to see he was forced out of running aged just 27 years old - that’s 14 years before I had my 1st ever run.
Thanks! Yeah for sure, it should be accurate since he wrote it during his career then published it later after he had stopped his career.
Here's a proposition for your next challenge: training like the 5k, 10k and marathon gold medalist of the 1952 olympics in Helsinki - Emil Zatopek :-)
Thanks for the suggestion I have actually though about making a video about him. So maybe I the future 😊
@@goranwinblad His training regimen was so crazy hard that I thought "Göran will surely like that challenge" ;-)
wonderful concept and vlog, thank you. I think the natural way of training has a great holistic benefit for many, and that will never change.
Thank you for making this video and teaching us about the great Swedish Runner Gunder Hägg. Your personality and excitement is inspiring! I just became a new subscriber to your channel.
Beautiful history and that sliding shot!
Thank you for sharing.
What a fantastic video! Great footage, great idea, inspiring and out of the box…so different from the other running channels!
Thank you for introducing us to Gunder Hägg and a really interesting episode!
Loved this format, would be really interested to see you do something similar with other legendary runners.
The human body is amazing and shows how different we all our. I'm 39(took running up 2 years ago), I have 2 plates and 6 screws in my lower spine, I do on average a 45km week. PBs 16.05 5k, 35.45 10k, 1.18.40 HM. That guy was such a talented runner but I am in awe of anyone that runs and love this sport!!!
What a cool video concept! 👏
I would like to see you try some other training plans from famous runners. Maybe make it a series 🤗 Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I actually already has done one about Ingebrigtsen and one about Kipchoge that you can find on my channel and think I will do more of the same concept 😊
@@goranwinblad Try Bob Schul's training regimen. It's really stupid (almost 100% intevals) but he hit a sub 14 5K...
Interesting topic! I personally also believe through the tough environment(cold, windy, dry) will somehow improve the abilities. But of course, always don’t forget fun is the reason why we are suffering it.
Thanks Göran for making such a fascinating video, really interesting to see you try Gunder's training regime!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Interesting, this is a nice video.
Keep it up, one of best youtube running channels, Goran.
What a legend! Thankyou for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing the wisdom from the past.
That slide on the ice during the 7k made you look very cool! Great video production and content.
Great video. His running form really was a work of art!
Thanks, yes it truly was!
I loved this video. I first read about Gunder in Tim Noakes's Lore of Running where he profiled some of the greats of yesteryear - I could watch his running all day (reminds me of Wilson Kipketer in the 800m) such perfection. What a gem to be able to read his training diary, he is up there with Zatopek as a great pioneer. Ännu ett fint arbete, tack så mycket. :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it, yeah that stride is just beautiful! 🤩
I did hit that subscribe button. I really appreciated this. I've got a beautiful little 5k trail that I run every day after work. No matter how tired I am, the running is great. Wooded trails are like a magical running inducement!
That ice slide was DOPE! :D
So interesting about terrain. I wanted to to do "fractioned" things on my bike, but realised very quickly just getting in and out of my steep home was natural fractioning lol
Thanks from New Zealand!
I’m not even a runner but I really enjoyed this. Nice vid!
The ice slide that you did was one thing which Gunder Hagg would not have been able to do . 😀 .. Nice video, keep up the good work
One of my favorite videos you have put out.
As a lifelong distance runner, this is a considerably pleasurable educational experience, & "how to" video for runners who have a modest pocket book.
Then there's the historical aspect of this video regarding Gunder Hagg. Absolutely fascinating, & rife with classic early 1900s techniques, which can be utilized today for people who haven't the $$ for the best tech footwear & GPS based devices. Love it!
Random Question: where in God's name did you get that gorgeous dinningroom table?? That is pure elegance & beauty right there. CHEERS!!!
The inspiration just flows...! thanks man, nice video & thoughts.
Thanks glad you liked it 😊
Thanks for the video. Inspiring.
Cool to see that video, the simplicity 👌is indeed the key. This example has made me believe again in the small things: running by heart ❤️, keeping a rather low mileage and enjoy my secret forest path at a riverbank. I call it a Robin Hood run!
A twisty 6k of fartlek.
...can't wait till sun rises 😋
Fantastic video, so different from all the other running vids people make.
When I was a young lad, I walked to school. Played outside after school and all weekend. There were no indoor distractions such as video games (being sent to your bedroom was a punishment, there was nothing to do). Most of us were fit without knowing it. It's a shame that my own children have never known what it's like to be fit. They aren't over weight, but I tried to get my son into running. I was in my late 40's and he was early 20's. 3.5k's of slow running and he had to stop three times. Such a shame that the only fit youngsters are those who make a choice to be fit.
Part of it too is how permissive people's parents were. Aside from the obvious that devices keep people inside nowadays, with things like the pandemic and changing school systems some amount of technological change is expected. The real goal should be helping kids learn how to balance in person and technology use. While I definitely agree kids should get more freeplay time than they do (with any and all running jumping and mucking around) for some inner city kids or even adults having an inside lifestyle is part necessity part safety. Ideally, the youth and adults would find how to manage working with their limited resources but like most things, to truly happen, you have to make the opportunity available AND you have to get people interested and aware of the resources.
Where I grew up the boys and girls club was a huge lifesaver because I joined sports teams without having to pay the fees that kept me out of any and all clubs. (Requiring fee money my parents couldn't/wouldn't pay, not that I ended up caring. I managed to get scholarships and waivers for different things because I looked them up.)
This reminded me of the tarahumaras or rarámuris in Chihuahua, Mexico. They are so used to running in the mountains and with sandals, not even sneakers. Although I think maybe now some are using tennis shoes.
I love this video. Such a great coming together of sport and history. Also it reminds me of my favourite sports book 'Today We Die A Little: Emil Zatopek, Olympic Legend to Cold War Hero'
Hi Goran. Your video was really inspiring! I'm part Norweigan and really enjoy Scandi culture. I run by feel most of the time also. I also run in the mtns whenever I can; Cascades in WA state. My next race is a 50k above Lake Chelan! Wish me luck! Thanks Goran:)
Another fantastic video!
Thanks again!
Wow! I can't believe you time traveled!!! Amazing ;-) Great video!
That sliding on the ice thing you did there- very daredevil!
Beautiful trails!
I don't know why TH-cam recommended this video to me, but I enjoyed it! I don't run, and I really hate running, but it's fascinating to hear about this record setter who truly found running poetic.
Keep up the good training! 👍🏻
Have you watched his "this is why they all hate running" video? Just came from that video and it may help you look at running differently. Most of the time running should be fun and easy especially when run on a nature trail or something like that and doesn't need to be long or fast paced. You shouldn't feel beat up the next day and you should feel good afterwards.
@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035 I haven't seen it. Maybe I'll check it out. I don't feel bad the next day, but I never feel good while running. Tired, winded, with a side cramp, yes, but never good.
Great stuff🙏
Väldigt intressant! Jag tyckte mycket om att du framhävde att det inte alltid behöver vara så komplicerat. Visst är det roligt med klockor och prylar, men det är också en riktig lisa att bara vara i stunden och njuta av sin runda ute i naturen.
That was so fun and inspiring video! I would love to see a video of the gear you use in the Swedish winter ❄
Thanks and thanks for the suggestion maybe in an upcoming video!
Cool. I enjoyed this. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
What a cool video idea! Regards from Denmark :)
a 2'' thick mid-sole called minimalist. lol Great review Göran. love your videos
I like your channel alot! Thank you for your good videos.
Glad to hear, thanks for your nice comment and for watching 😊
I was waiting to hear you talk about "gunders mosse" that I almost once tried myself passing on the way to vålådalen, instead used my local moss "bosses mosse"
i love you gloves that you were using on the 7km
Nice video, 20m tempo will never go out of fashion ;) ! Arne Andersson trained my grandfather in the military way back in the day :)
Thanks! Ok cool 🤩
@@goranwinblad Now train like Nils Van Der Poel for a week :D
Great video, I am really interested in the training and diet of the past runners. Would appreciate more history.
Thanks Ralph yeah it’s for sure interesting will maybe do similar videos in the future 😊
Very Interesting. Great video 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Such a cool video! I love my home city of Amsterdam, but there is simply no option for me to run out in nature with nice forest trails. I could still do fartlek runs though! Will definitely do some more of those.
Thanks! Ok yeah we are really lucky with the nice trails here.
Trail running is what made me fall in love with running. Road running is fine but can be so monotonous. The ups, downs and terrain changes definitely keep me more engaged with every stride.
Superb video. That’s how they trained in the day! No time for recovery runs that’s for sure. Not sure his training would be beneficial for marathoners but certainly more of a mile to 5k slant to it. Keep up the fascinating videos and hope family life is going well!
Thanks 😊
Very informative! I'd love to know more. Fartlek. Walking. Super interesting.
Nice video and fantastic channel! Greetings from Sweden!
Thank you very much!
I love your video style. Wish I had that talent.
Great video 👍🏼
I think a common factor behind all training plans is “consistency”, I believe that any training plan that allows you to run everyday over a season (6 months) without getting injured will inevitably make you faster.
I was blown away by this video. I like the combination of sports science and history, almost... a type of experimental archeology. I'm going to share it with some history enthusiasts!
The production is also very slick too. Well done
Thanks for your nice comment, makes me very happy to hear! 😊
Amazing vídeo. Congratulations from Brazil
Thank you very much!
Really interesting !
I honestly think I will try and incorporate this type of training.
Would be interesting to try and copy his diary for a month and see what it brings.
Glad to hear you found it interesting, yeah that would be a cool experiment!
Terrific video, Göran. We are posting a little recap of it up on the All-Season blog!
Thanks!
I remember learning about fartlek training at school in the 1980s in Australia. We basically called it telephone pole running, run hard from one pole to next or second pole than walk from one pole to the next and then run hard for another 2 poles etc, until we got home from school.
would be more interesting to see how ur results are changing when u try his running routine for a longer period of time
In 2102 people will look back and say remember the days in 2022 when they still had fresh air and nature to go running in 😱 if only they realise how special it was to go for a run in natural world
Yep - those days just naturally built hard people: no _distractions,_ no processed food, no electricity or running water...and they were happier than us. A most enjoyable video!
That was interesting, thanks for sharing❤️
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I heard about him but you really put his training in perspective. Also a good reminder that 'expert' advice is to be taken with a grain of salt :P
I love that you’re now dropping dad jokes into your videos!!! Hahaha awesome man!
Haha 😅 thanks Nick!
Great video 👌 enjoyed that
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😊
@@goranwinblad great editing👌
