ABOUT ME: I'm James Dunne, a runner, sports rehabilitation therapist (similar to physical therapist) and coach based in the UK (Norwich and London).

Since 2007 I've been working with athletes focusing specifically on helping distance runners and triathletes overcome injury and improve performance through developing their individual running technique.

Running biomechanics and physical therapy are real passions of mine. I love to help runners run strong and stay injury free.

Ive gone down from 116kg to 99.8kg in about 5 months. Started running a few weeks ago. Initial times were 8m/km. I now have it down to Low 6/km's high 5km's. It's a huge life changer

Man you are running 9 min miles at 265 lbs. That is impressive. You are truly an inspiration out here for us heavier runners.

[alexanders]

Where is your excess body mass? Trunk? Legs? Upper body (brest n shoulder)?

[paulfulbrook]

Fantastic video James. I'm currently on day 25 of running every day for 365 days to "celebrate" turning 50 in Oct 2024. Your videos and the Bulletproof runners programme are really helping me stay injury-free and improve my running. Thanks

Congratulations! I'm not a streaker myself, but a streak is a fantastic way to build some momentum. The game becomes about sustainability instead of what kind of pace you put on Strava or other similar nonsense. Fantastic progress toward a base for marathon training too :)

[jassaljs]

Great! Let me take up this challenge 👍

[JMMJ]

I started running three times a week, doing 5k runs, I didn’t lose anything, I then stopped eating crappy foods and drinking loads of alcohol and just had a drink on Saturday and it dropped off in no time.

How do you get your heart rate so low? I have dropped my speed to a bit over 6mins per km and im still in zone 4, 150bpm average, any slower and I feel that I will jsut be walking. any tips or just keep at it?

[Josh-Jones]

Anyone watching this who wants to actually lose fat would be better to walk that distance instead of run it.

[ianiPad]

Well done, James. 👍

Unpacking this a bit, I’m not sure I fully understand the message. It’s contrary to all advice I’ve seen. This was simply a motivational kickstarter after a long lull? If I’ve maintained a base fitness by consistently running 3 per week, over years, changing to run everyday would be a mistake due to lack of recovery days and being more susceptible to injury?

The other thing I’ve seen is dieting and training simultaneously isn’t advised; it’s one or the other. Going forwards, are you simply improving your nutrition whilst marathon training, or drastically cutting the calories?

[craigyoung]

James, I’m a pretty big guy too, I’m 6’4” and was at 225.
Dropping to 195 made my runs so much easier. I can’t believe how hard it used to be on higher mileage and now I cruise through what I used to struggle with.

[GaryHolt-ex]

Hi James, can I just ask, did you keep all your runs easy in zone 2?

[rogerrobinson]

Funny how everybody that decides to start running becomes an expert especially men lol

[maxw]

Not running a 5k every day would also change you.

[asaeedhellomobile]

did you take certain vitamins during this period?

[atheosmachina]

Wow, I had no idea you're 6'6", James! No doubt that's quite a feat to run a marathon at that height, and the 5k/30 days is really motivational for me as I need to get back into training again. Keep it up and good luck with your marathon work. Do you have any particular marathon in mind?

[EmpoweredBibleStudy]

Thanks for the email - great video - very inspiring

[mtelectrical]

I’m just getting back into running and would like to lose 20lb.. now I know it’s all about nutrition. Fantastic channel with loads of variation in all aspects of fitness.

[roadguide]

I'm 170 cm...54 kg...i have been running 5k everyday...i would walk 5k only if my resting heart rate higher that day than usual...I keep my run in zone 2...running inside my apartment makes it easy to maintain my run in zone 2...

[KaioshinAemi]

I run 5 miles at 9 minutes rate 6 days a week. So far been pretty good. But I haven’t loose weight because my eating habits is not in control. Just running is not enough. I have been running for 5 years now, I can’t lose weight.
