Hey man! I've watched all your videos and really appreciate them. I've been dealing with reoccurring injures the last few years and have been working on my form and have also recently given Vibram's a try, love them! I've followed theirs and your instructions on working my way into them. I have a long way to go but recently my first few runs outside have been amazing! I love the freedom my feet feel in them as well as the ground feel. I am definitely not a sheep as you say when it comes to running. Appreciate what you do and keep up the great work! Thanks, John from Indiana U.S.
Something that goes hand in hand for me with your first point is not looking down. You shouldn't be able to see your feet when you're running and looking for the horizon helps me. Sometimes its hard in five fingers because you step on something that you feel and suddenly you start to gaze downwards, which can then put you in the quasimodo position. When you're road running its pretty easy to have a good look, little trickier in the trees but got to keep the head up and posture in form.
I used to do a lot of these mistakes, especially the pacing one. Nowadays I practice a lot more restraint; I start out really slowly and let the increase in speed occur naturally. Sometimes it can take up to 5 km before I get up to proper running speed, but after that it's like I'm unable to tire, whereas if I start out more aggressively the lactic acid starts building up as early as the 2 km mark, and by the time I hit 5K the run has turned entirely sour.
Facing upward was also a common mistake for runners like me. Its happening to me when my body is already tired. And is needed more air. Sorry for my grammar
Another tip that I had to learn thru pain. If ur legs are kinda touching when ur running focus on making ur stride wider not so close together, it will give u shin splints and make ur hips hate u, want ur feet to land shoulder width apart and ur front foot should always land under ur hip to avoid unnesserary wear on ur shins and knees.
Good Video! I'm struggling keep the upright position because of bad posture caused by office job. I've started to incorporate floor exercises in my training such as superman, plank etc.
Sweet video, I have a question. I just got my first minimal shoes (vapor gloves) and am using a lot of your advice so thank you. I am trying to run at a 180 cadence but find it hard to not run fast. I usually run a 10 minute or so mile in this stage of getting back into running but am getting into 8 1/2 minute miles. Should I be increasing speed this much? Will my body learn to naturally slow down a bit after getting used to the cadence? Can you run slower with a higher cadence? Thanks I love your videos you are an inspiration, no sheep in my shed anymore!
Shuffle running is usually due to having heavy legs or being overweight so it's hard to avoid on long runs. On the last stretch before my sprint I'm basically dragging my legs it's so exhausting.
@@Gnormous i started runnin 30 secs everyday. Kept it easy. In one month my running improved to 5 minutes run easy. Run 10 secs, walk and run again 10 secs. Make sure you dont heel strike. Keep it easy. Because nothing is more frustrating than to try hard and fail. If you try easy you will succeed.
@@sillymesilly thanks for the reply, for me its literally just needing to build more leg strength and lose weight, I used to run for very long distances and no muscle weakness when I was 20lbs lighter.
Great vids as always! I had a similar varicose vein on both of my legs. Got them removed , actually burnt with laser. It was a relief! Don’t wait too long to get your removed. I guess you are a tall guy, I am 193 cm, this is usual for tall people ! Take care bro!
I am still running since two month but I always find myself very weak and having breathing heavy and my muscles don't support me.. What can I do to improve....please suggest.
Hi there! I know this is a superficial question, but did minimalist/forefoot running help your calves get bigger/the current shape you have? (That's one of my main goals when running ^^) Thanks so much for your videos, by the way. I'm new to minimalist running (starting with NB Minimus shoes; loving them so far) and have found that running isn't the chore that it used to be when I was back in high school! Channels like yours really help transform people!
very informative, Though I'm disapointed. heres why. you did a lot of talking about what and how. majority of us most probably do it all wrong. yet. YOU never showed us your run..your style. your footing. at least i expected to see you jog nd show the over side and how it actually look..
It's all good mate. It's asthetic only so only reason to get it removed would be vanity purposes and to be fair if I did that what kind of message would I be sending. You've given me a video idea there though sir 🤔
Hey dude, I've covered most of what you're asking in your comments in a video called "fully barefoot running pros and cons". I think everything you're wondering should be answered there
Belter of a video mate. Probably the most needed video for all runners new to it. 👍
Garry Aylott thank you sir G Unit! You're the man!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
instaBlaster...
Love these kinda videos, the backdrop of the sea is inspiring too!
It's lovely mate, I need to get better at slowing down and drinking it in, especially on days like today
I've only been running 2 years but this is one of the best running tips videos I've seen. Really helpful tips here.

Definitely feel that buddy, looking at the horizon is a great way of putting it!

What kind of recording set up do you use? The sound quality is pretty good
I use an entry level rode mic with dead cat to stop the wind. The camera is a cannon Eos m3

Me too - we will get there though!
Run easy. Don’t run til exhaustion
@@sillymesilly yes but the tired part starts 30 seconds into a slow jog so its hard to not just push through it.

Love the video what’s up with the sheep in the shed
After watching this video I just wonna go out n run! Thanks for the inspiration man! :-)
No worries dude, get out there and destroy a run!! 😁

Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the great tips! I have flat feet and terrible knees at 29 years of age. Can't wait to have my first "barefoot" run tomorrow!
megaman5k how did your barefoot run go?
I'll hold my breath until you answer.
Oh no...Nimrod did you breath?
@@davidhokmin, still haven't. As a grammar nazi, I'm obliged to correct you: " breathe", not "breath".
Nimrod Thank you I see my mistake now.
Great video! Do you have any wider shots of you running so we can see the technique as a whole?
Thank you so much make this video i will try it you're suggestion
Which music is that? Love it
new subscriber .. thank u sir
Good tips.
Thanks dude 💪🏻
I have been running for a year now. The only problem i face is having a knee burn through out the day. What should i do to prevent this.
Sir who are you from which country ??
Great video
Thanks dude! 💪🏻
Quick cadence. I know for me I naturally run aroun 165 bpm when in VFF
Your channel should be much bigger man
Thanks man. Trying hard to grow it now and spread the word
I am still running since two month but I always find myself very weak and having breathing heavy and my muscles don't support me.. What can I do to improve....please suggest.

Hey dude, minimalist running is definitely what has built my calves up over the years, nothing better!
Thanks so much! Hope all is well!
Great video. Simple, to the point and fun! Clearly 17 people came here by accident, hehe
Cool Bro !
Right on point, thanks for sharing!

holy crap that vein in your leg 0:38 going to get that removed?
It's all good mate. It's asthetic only so only reason to get it removed would be vanity purposes and to be fair if I did that what kind of message would I be sending. You've given me a video idea there though sir 🤔
Noticed it as well, but didn't care 1 second later. Leave it.
What shoes are you wearing in this video
Great advice! I would love to see a video on how to breathe when running
Nice
No Ad!
The electronic Google demon's must be trying to shut me out again 😁😁😁
Kalclash Fitness V back here to see the comment and saw a 5 second ad
Im doing a Beep test so thanks!
Can you run faster with minimal shoes then going barefoot? Im wondering why you would wear shoes..
Hey dude, I've covered most of what you're asking in your comments in a video called "fully barefoot running pros and cons". I think everything you're wondering should be answered there
Thank you I will watch that!
No worries bro. Then if it doesn't answer your questions or raises more I'll do my best to answer
Nice location
This made me giggle 😂
tips to run outside in a cold rainy day
you should not have such large "pump" muscles, because the weight is no good for fast, long runs ;)
your vein is unreal. Does it happen with excessive running?
Nah man, that vein has a messed up valve at the top, which has made it that way.
That beach looks polluted, mate
Enough with the music. I'm trying to listen to you.
