Fantastic! I was running this morning without any pain at all, (for a long long time) by following your three steps. Now its gonna be fun to run! Thank you, and God Bless you soo much!
Dude, dude for years I've suffered from shoulder pain. Up until now I have tried lifting weight to strengthen my shoulder. What a difference tip 1 made. Cheers man!
My father jumped after Jesse Owens in the Olympic Trials at Princeton in 1936. After his first jump, Jesse came up to him and said, "Harry, you'll go farther if you relax your arms." If you've ever seen videos of Owens running, you'll see how smooth his stride was. When we were kids, my father was always telling us what you just talked about on this video. Thanks!
Tried it, think shoulder is too far gone cause after 1.5 miles pain was there again. Concentrated on long neck etc. Found my cadence dropped quite a bit not sure why.
Thanks for this video! My left shoulder more than the right starts to ache around the 1 hour mark running I do run on trails a lot with roots So i have a habit of looking down. I can’t wait to try these new technique! Thanks
amaaazing thank you so so much, I will try this today!! Before, when I would run (even just a mile or two), I would always have to put on pain patches and sit on the heating pad for an hour 😩 I'm so excited to try these tips out!
No problem, Willem. I look forward to hearing how you get on with running with the technique cues in the video, and if it makes a difference to your shoulder tension.
Great video again! For the clenched fist thing, the visualisation I've heard of and use (when I remember!) is to imagine you're holding a Pringles crisp in each hand and not crush it :-)
When i straighten my back and shoulders like you said in point 2, I find it really hard to breathe in (stomach feels tight/restricted) so i end up having to hunch over to take a breath...and i end up with pain in neck/shoulders
Hi James,thanks for your help to improve our running.Could you please give us some advise to increase our stride length, in my case I m 5.7 but my stride length is only 1 meter
Another thing that seemed helpful for me (and for swimming as well) is getting in a corner of a room, and leaning face in to the corner allowing the two walls to stretch my bent arms -- it really stretches the chest and shoulders.. A physical therapist showed me this stretch.. I wish I could describe it better (James, feel free to demonstrate)..
Since i play football/soccer i run a lot because of my position. I have other things going through my mind like the tactics and where to run and go it will be pretty hard for me to think about doing those 3 things and playing in a football/soccer match. Any tips?
Thanks for the tips, i dont know anyone else share this problem like I do for this bother me because I have round shoulder and I especially do a lot of push ups for work out, so when I run during my 10km my shoulder gets really tight and tired. On the other hand I tried to use the methods u mention in video, I feel my upper body not leaning forward enough for making a fast run...the posture for fast run, you suppose to lean your upper body slightly forward, right?

Hey I went for a run today and usually my shoulders/biceps would end up sore as hell but today it didn't happen, thanks a lot

Harry Preckwinkle Holy crap your father was in the olympics before world war 2 and met Jesse Owens and was congratulated by hitler?????
I can't believe my left shoulder pain comes from my left hand being clenched, it's so obvious when you think about it... Thanks a lot for this!
Ur actually a life saver , hope you know that
I think you just saved my life. Thank you for this video!
No problem! Hope it helps.
Great explanation James. I know I have a tendency to looking down when I'm running trails and have to remind myself frequently to keep my head up :D

Thnx for the tips James! I always having to much tension in my schouders. Probably looked to close to the ground :)
No problem, Willem. I look forward to hearing how you get on with running with the technique cues in the video, and if it makes a difference to your shoulder tension.
This is great advice thanks so much
Thanks a lot !!!
Great video again! For the clenched fist thing, the visualisation I've heard of and use (when I remember!) is to imagine you're holding a Pringles crisp in each hand and not crush it :-)
Love that visualisation... and that it has to be a Pringle specifically ;) Just makes me hungry!
Thanks this will help me.
Thank u man! Now I know my problem I always look down
Thank you !!
When i straighten my back and shoulders like you said in point 2, I find it really hard to breathe in (stomach feels tight/restricted) so i end up having to hunch over to take a breath...and i end up with pain in neck/shoulders
Great, still valuable in 2024, though its 8 years old. thanks
Very good advices
That is very similar to the Chi Running pose ...similar concept and very beneficial,am I right about chi running ?
Thank you 🙏
Hi James,thanks for your help to improve our running.Could you please give us some advise to increase our stride length, in my case I m 5.7 but my stride length is only 1 meter
Key is “think about”
thanx mate
Another thing that seemed helpful for me (and for swimming as well) is getting in a corner of a room, and leaning face in to the corner allowing the two walls to stretch my bent arms -- it really stretches the chest and shoulders.. A physical therapist showed me this stretch.. I wish I could describe it better (James, feel free to demonstrate)..
Nice! I like to do a similar stretch using a doorframe.
Great videos james! Have you ever done triathlons or a half triathlon?
Thanks Mario :) I've never found enough enjoyment from cycling to get very far with triathlon training!
I do all of this but whenever i run my shoulder kills me...idk why, maybe im doing something wrong
How come this only happens to me on the treadmill?? Without fail I end up with shoulder and neck pain but it never happens running outside.
And you have to think about all of this while running? Is there a neck strengthening exercise that can be done as well or instead?
Any tipps for side stitch problems please?
Sooooo helpful thanj you better than my physio lol
I ran 10 meters and got neck pain. What do you think it was?
Since i play football/soccer i run a lot because of my position. I have other things going through my mind like the tactics and where to run and go it will be pretty hard for me to think about doing those 3 things and playing in a football/soccer match. Any tips?
David Garcia practice on it till it become natural
every 3.5km i will feel this pain..on my left shoulder..
Haha... Thats massive indeed
finalyy i can run in peace
hi james, i have a similar issue: while i'm running sometimes my neck keeps clicking... what could it be?
Thanks for the tips, i dont know anyone else share this problem like I do for this bother me because I have round shoulder and I especially do a lot of push ups for work out, so when I run during my 10km my shoulder gets really tight and tired.

👍👍👍
I had to pause the video to make sure policemen weren't outside my apartment
😂😂😂
John mayer?!
Clinch my fist bc I’m holding my phone
Thank you
