John, I just wanted to thank you for all the great content. As a mediocre 51 year old runner I did my first 50 mile ultra yesterday. Your advice and encouragement went a long way in helping me get through it. I know when you put these videos out there it is hard to know if you have an impact, but I can assure you that they do have an impact. Good luck at your upcoming 100 miler.

The man, the myth, the legend has returned. Great to see a new video and great advice as well.

Great one! Former runners need all the encouragement to get back to that great run high we love! New subbie!

I'm 46 and trying to get back into running again. I think my biggest hurdle is to not compare myself to my old self. When I was in my early 30s I would run 40 miles a week and run races like a mad man. A couple of kids later and a bunch of extra pounds I am embarrassed of myself and how I let myself go. I used to love running and I want that back again. It was a great way of meditation for me. I will get it back. It may never be the same but it will be fun again ! I am glad I found your YT page and subscribed.

I missed this one!! Great advice as always! I know for me, I've always struggled with controlling what I eat. It's easier for me to control my exercise than my diet. I've found that once I've settled into the groove of exercise, I just naturally start to make better choices. When I get hungry, I might choose a fruit smoothy over a candy bar, because I had such a nice run I don't want to "ruin" it. But that takes a month or so to kick in, and I might gain a few pounds in the meantime... but it's so worth it for the outcome later!
