As a trail runner I always look down. I wouldn't survive a single run if I would not do this. Lots of roots, rocks, holes and other obstacles would cause a fall.

I loved the warm up drills that require really explosive movement which would be much safer/easier if you warm up for them with a slow

Hey Goran, watching your videos over the past year has inspired me to run. I have been avid walker for years but now running 5km, I hope to be able to run 10km soon and maybe 20km by the end of the year! Keep up the great videos!

Running advice: "Avoid running"

[r-pupz]

Running helped me lose 35lbs by following couch to 5k which starts with run/walk intervals, then a beginner half marathon programme plus resistance training.

Obviously the main thing was changing my diet, but running transformed my mindset towards health & fitness, and gave me the structure & discipline I needed to improve my diet in a sustainable way.

Having and a tangible goal to work towards really helped too - rather than just trying to lose weight, I wanted to be healthy and be able to run longer distances without putting too much strain on my joints. Rather than a crash diet then falling off the wagon, I made sustainable changes towards my goal.

I ran a half marathon last year and currently training for my first ultra :)

I like your approach on this kind of videos. People need to understand that physical activity has to be specific to themselves.

Thanks Göran, another great video so far. I'm glad you are still pursuing your YouTube journey.

Imagine criticising the best male ultra runner of all time. I would just block that account and get on with my life.

On the subject of weight loss, as someone who's spent a lot of time in and on that subject the big reason to focus on resistance training when losing weight is to make sure you maintain as much lean mass as possible, to make it so you lose more fat proportionately. Few people just want to lower their total weight, they want to be leaner specifically.

Keep doing what you are doing Fergus. The comments you have received, so far, demonstrate how important your messages are to all of us. I could have done with this message when I turned 32 and realised I wasn’t going to achieve the performances in my sport that I had trained so hard for. I am 59 now and look back on that now and realise what a journey I had! Enjoy the process mate and I look forward to seeing the adventure. 👍🏻🏃🏽‍♂️💪🏼

Great idea to analyze a pro trail runner while he's running on the track...

[thomanntravel]

You clearly See if a Hobby Runner is giving "advice" or someone really knowing what he is talking about, Like you! Thank you for this Video and correcting those "advices"

[yllzhmr]

You seem an intelligent dude and give great commentary on running - take my sub and like!

[peternorris]

As an older man but newer runner I have enjoyed your advice.

I have only recently appreciated just how long it takes me to really warm up. If I take the time to run or jog about 3 km I find I am in better shape for a longer session.

Your comments on warming gently were most helpful and timely. I have been struggling with how best to get moving at the start of a run. I have intuitively tended to just jog gently rather than stretching.

I am off shortly for a zone 2 run for up to 90 min. I think I shall walk and wave my arms and legs about gently, for longer than I have previously.

I shall ignore my pace and do my best to stay in my lower zone 2 by hr.

Wish me luck.

So glad to see you addressing some of this kind of content that seems to be simply everywhere these days 😅 I even had a few of my older running mates send me some of these "instant results" training workouts, seeming to think that they had stumbled across pure gold – very disappointed!

Keep up the content as always! So much knowledge and inspiration to be had on your channel ✨

Killian's running form is great! I've been running in long and middle distance races for years, as well as triathlons and so far without significant injuries. I've studied techniques and body mechanics over the years to improve my own efficiency, speed and endurance. There is nothing wrong with Killian's running that I can see from the video. As far as I can see, it is a good example of how and what to do.

[lenkaontherun]

Bless you for busting the myths! I feel like some creators really lack good judgement when it comes to whether they are in any place to actually give advice. They follow the advice "anyone can do content!", "study what gets viral and repeat it!", and "if you are one step ahead of the person, you can already give advice better than an expert!" – which there is a grain of truth in there and it's meant well to encourage them, but OMG it has bad consequences on people.

[PogueMahone]

About keeping track of pace. I always have a firm eye on my pace, but only to make sure that i keep the tempo down as to not injure myself by going too fast for my limits. I'm a hothead and will go all out unless i have something to keep track and to remind me to slow down

[lizzaangelis]

10:32 the best way to warm up is to do the activity you are doing on a lesser scale. So the best warm up for a run is to briskly walk and gradually move into a jog.

I latterly spent the first few year of my running focusing so much on my technique and trying to run on my toes, just cuz of some random video, now I run way faster and more efficiently with a heel/midfoot strike.
