he is definitely a certified touch grass enthusiast

Human for tens of thousands of years: able to run properly by nature
Human lately: heel strike

[gamacichi]

Words cannot express how painful it is to watch that heel strike. That's probably why some say running is "bad for your joints."

[brokebunbun]

I can tell that grass feels absolutely amazing, it's that type of grass where you just want to lie on it.

[colonelcrockett]

Never seen someone properly demonstrate good running form. Thanks.

Step 1: Find a vacant grassy field in the summer

I spent six and a half years in the Army running incorrectly. Literally no one taught me to run properly. I would routinely get 14:30 on my two mile runs.
I had a professional trainers analyze my technique. She made me do exercises like you are doing and she made me change shoes. My run time dropped by almost a full minute and a half.
The Army is like the only organization that will actively sabotage you and then scream that you aren't doing better.

The legit way of training to run correctly. Most of the people dont even have the correct knowledge and try to teach their own believes. Ive been training in track and field for 7 years and it infuriates me to see people have pain while running and ignore those strict, but very helpful exercises. Keep it up man, great content youre making

[Raziel.]

Man taught me more about fitness in 60 seconds than every public school gym class ever

"Running is jumping from one foot to the other. You don't land on your heels when you jump." This is so good!

Now I gain a 25% buff speed when I’m being chased by a serial killer

[iraqifoodcart]

In my 29 years of life I've never been told nor shown this. This is fantastic advice

[khaler]

Correction: barefoot running on beautiful well groomed soft grass that Probably doesn't have a single thorn lying around waiting for you to step on it.

[nomudnolotus]

3 best mental cues for long distance: 1) knees up 2) elbows in and 3) relax. Any time you notice your mind has wandered bring it back by saying those 3 cues to yourself.

[NorthstarTex]

Part of how I learned to run properly was in cross country, my coach encouraged everyone to shed their shoes and socks and run on a football field, that way we'd feel how we ran, and it was eye opening.

[cannonlackey]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this grass. I have never seen such perfect grass.

[JerBearTeo]

Went from a heel strike to midfoot years back and almost immediately all my pain that I usually get when running were gone.

[darknevangelist]

As an American man I can't believe I'm watching Kenyan distance runners watch an American tutorial on how to run

[catalinsava]

Running barefoot in the grass on a sunny day is one of the best feeling in can remember
