My biggest advice for new runners is always... SLOW DOWN. My wife wanted to train for a half marathon. But in her runs she would always complain she was out of breath too quickly while her legs weren't tired, yet. I kept telling her to slow down until she got to a pace where her legs go tired before she was out of breath. That was her light bulb moment and it worked. It's not a sprint, so don't sprint (unless you're a sprinter). Get used to running slowly and allow your body to build up fitness and efficiency. Then your body will naturally speed up - and you can start to add in interval training. But, you have to crawl before you can walk, and walk before you can run.


And whenever I go out for a run, if I am feeling too tired, I will slow down - unless it's a Tempo run or interval training.


Just slow down and allow your body to build up it's fitness. It will happen.

Finally. Someone who gives advice and doesn't expect us to breathe through our nose.

Getting good sleep regularly is critical too for endurance performance and recovery.

[stephencrutchfield]

Breathing is KEY...it sounds crazy but I've noticed sometimes I actually catch myself briefly (for a second) holding my breath. It's nuts but I've noticed it.

[markchavez]

I followed all of the tips perfectly and I ran for 10 days straight and didn't get tired.

“Hydration is important”
Me: *gets glass of water*

[akio_VAL]

“You obviously know how to breathe”
Me: *bold

Just back from my 6th run in 2 weeks. Progress is happening.. Breathing routine just nailed.. Super happy 😁

[JamesDunne]

Great advice on breathing, Mark! The 3:3, 2:1, or even 4:4 (if you want a real challenge to force yourself to slow down) rhythm is massively helpful when it comes to finding a sustainable breathing rhythm tied in with your running cadence. As an asthmatic runner, sorting out my breathing when I was getting started years ago was a GAME CHANGER!!

[ryandz]

I started walking a month ago, then I gradually shifted to jogging n now I can run n I am loving it .I wake up every morning feeling happy

[MiamiPushtheLimit]

Honestly I hate working out but I force myself to do 1 hour per day because it greatly improves my mood/mental health and quality of sleep. I also feel proud of myself and a great sense of accomplishment each time I complete a workout.

[serraislife]

I’m in cross country and I have a 2 mile run next Tuesday so this really helped. I only had 1 week of practice so this is really gonna be helpful.

2:00 Mouth breathing makes you feel less tired, because they clear the CO2 in the blood but the thing is that lower co2 levels also mean lower oxygen levels due to the osmosis that our body uses to actually absorb that oxygen. Also the sinuses naturally produce nitric acid that dilates the blood vessels allowing for more oxygen absorption wich the mouth cavity and larynx do not. I suggest nose breathing because even if it feels more suffocating (due to high co2 levels) your body will naturally build a tolerance for that co2 overtime while giving more oxygen.

My only method to last throughout long runs is listening to music or podcasts. Great video btw!!!

[Godblessed]

Glad you said something about the breathing. Once I’m up to speed, I find it nearly impossible to NOT breathe through my mouth. I’m also trying so hard not to run every single day just starting out here. I use to be super fit and totally let myself go for fear of ruining my knees. My sister is a runner and already messed up one of hers and she is 10 years younger. Once I learned that I could actually help my crepitus by being active, I tossed my fears aside and tossed on my running shoes and my knees have been fine. I’m 54 and seriously overweight- fibromyalgia and all that. I recover far quicker just running ever other day, for now, and having a mostly vegan diet. This helps with recovery and pain like nothing else. I can’t wait to see how much I’m able to progress back to my previous fitness level

[hoodedhillhopper]

I agree with the well balanced diet. When I'm eating awful my runs are awful and slow. My energy just isn't there. Thanks for the great video!

[blainglenn]

I always breathe through my nose while running, and it feels totally right and natural. In fact, I don't even think about it, I just do it.
It keeps me from getting dry mouth, increases my lung capacity, and helps me not to snore when sleeping.
I also do a technique with my tongue while running that helps me to go deeper into my meditation groove while opening my throat wider and strengthening my muscles to lessen and eliminate my snoring, which I have had an issue with due to having a small chin and throat passage.
I highly recommend getting into the groove of nose breathing.

[mudskipper]

At 52 years old rest is just as important as the running, 20 years ago I would have went out every day but it’s not beneficial to long term health at my age now it’s about striking a balance and listening to your body, also never warmed up for a run ever just start off slowly and work into it...👍

[Lulu-oiue]

I’m a new runner. I ran my first 10km running event which took me 1:15. I was happy to not stop and get through it. I would like to do a half marathon this year.
