    I`m 62 and been a runner for 47 years. You give great advice on here even for experienced runners. I`d add one more "tip." Enjoy your running and train to live, not live to train. Forget times, calories, how much good it does you and as often as possible just enjoy moving. Get to a beach and run calf deep in the surf where sky meets shore, even better still do it when its raining and just enjoy the moment and being young, fit and alive.

      ha ha ha. Yeah... but in a good way.
      In the beginning, after watching a few videos on running form (not just Natacha's)... I thought.... wow... "Are these people crazy?"... and "How have I managed all these years?" Good tips from Natacha in this video though, and you pick up a few other tips here and there (from other sources). One of the things I've always done on some of my longer 10 to 21km (6 to 13 miles) runs is focus on that breathing in-time with my steps (I think mine was more like 2 out, 2 in). It also gets you to focus on your breathing - with an aim to try and slow it down, and take deeper breaths. I have tried to also run with my chin more level to the ground - to open the airway - that makes sense.

    The thing which really helped my running (especially mid/long distance) was understanding my mentality. 1. So firstly, remember that it will always get easier ... and then harder... and then easier ... and then harder - your mental and physical state fluctuates so don't give up when it gets hard as it will always get easier again! 2. Secondly, I found that once I'd broken the 'sweat-barrier' I found it much easier to keep going. But getting to that point (which may be a couple of miles into the run) I find really really hard; the first (miles) are the worst!

    Just used some of tips in this video and it was the best 5k I've done in a about 2 years, best pace and best feeling. I just focused on form and the tips in the video. I wasn't to go for an amazing pace but was literally blown away by how good the run was. It really shows sometimes how much you forget about the fundamentals and good form in pursuit of a PB or a faster time. Subscribed!

  • @Kimftw

    One tip to help with breathing on long distances is to chew gum while running. It has a natural way of informing you of how your pacing and breathing is. If you can't breathe you're running too fast for a long distance and should slow down and also if you are like me, chewing forces me to breathe in a rhythmic manner as well. Hope this helps!

    • @Immzis
      @Immzis Pƙed 4 lety +347

    • @anieke100
      @anieke100 Pƙed 4 lety +62

    • @maismais1
      @maismais1 Pƙed 4 lety +31

      I’m surprised and glad this tip works for so many! If I chew gum while running/sprinting, I easily get frustrated, I feel like I’m not focusing properly and I should be relaxed not causing tension on my jaw. Even when I forget I’m chewing gum and start running, I immediately need to throw it out

    Running is my favorite exercise ever.
    People say it’s not effective at weight loss or weight gain(muscle) BUT IT IS. I’m proof.
    I lose weight when I run and eat healthy. Running is an awesome stress reliever for me.
    I used to run 5 miles without stopping. I want to get back there.
    I am currently losing weight for my health. I only have about 25 pounds to lose but I can’t wait to see results again.

    Excellent information! I've run every distance from the 100 meters to 35 miles. I never had a good coach so I learned on the job, lol I may disagree with you, if I heard it right, about heel to toe for long distance. I was naturally a mid-foot striker. Heel strikers get plantar fasciitis. Be warned. I agree with you about downhill being the most risky part of racing. My best running achievement? Well over 100,000 miles so far. One other thing, train at altitude if you can. The only time I broke 40 minutes in the 10 K was after altitude training. Trained in Jo-berg SA and went direct to sea level to race. Cheers!
