I am a beginner runner at an older age. I have to say, you are correct that one should start very slow to prevent injury. It is even more important for those starting out at an older age (39 years old). I walk and stretch for 15 minutes and then run slowly for 8 minutes, 4 times a week. I am only on week 3 of running. But I enjoy it! I want to keep it up. So glad I found your channel
39 isn't old Gen☺
@Gabriel Manzani aww... you're only as old as you feel. Keep it up! You will be one of those people still out running at age 80
You're not old. I'm starting at 41 and I feel young. It's all in your head.
@@HollywoodHeyson I have had a slight set back. I climbed a 1,345m mountain and on my descent I had a bad fall and broke my knee. I hope with proper rehabilitation, I will recover properly and get back to running.

thank you
Thanks.
I love the slow long runs. I can settle in and just cruise. 10-11 minute miles for 9.5 miles makes me as happy as I can get. I don't chase a time or more distance, just to make it easier and easier every time. The rain makes it fun and the sun makes it tough. 3-4 times a week. Gets a touch easier every time. Thanks for the video and wisdom.
I have to say, I appreciate the work you put into staging these videos. Part hand held camera while you are running, part stopped at a cool scenic spot, part good graphics added in. Engaging and beautiful and much better than a lecture from a desk!
Thanks for all the info and motivation. Did a 55k in February and I'm going for my first 100k this fall - a mountain beast with 5500m of climbing in the August heat. =D =D
Thanks Taylor, glad to hear you like it! Ok that sounds super cool congrats on the 55k and good luck with the preparation towards the 100k! 😀
Thank you, Coach. Always smiling and so humble. You're awesome.
Thank you for this! Just what I needed to hear! 👏👏
Thank you Goran for the reminded. I will take your advice to heart as an older runner.
Incredibly useful. Thank you for sharing these common mistakes so I don’t need to make them myself to find out the hard way.
This was just what I needed to watch today! Thank you for sharing all these great training tips. My daughter and I always love watching your beautifully produced videos. Good luck on training for your half marathon!
Good advice Goran. Consistency has been my weakness and doing more easy runs will be my addition for 2022.
Thanks
I really enjoyed how you shot this video. Beautifully done! Really like your transitions, different camera shots, great pace. You really did a fine job here. I learned not only some running wisdom but video production wisdom as well. Thank you Goran!
Most humble and simple, honest guy I like him God bless you bro.
Thank you Goran - your advice is perfect - great channel!!
When I started to run I was severly out of shape, and my body was not used to the strain at all. I decided to focus on practicing only form and "stress tolerance" at first. I jogged at a ridiculously slow pace. Almost slower than I walk. And very carefully increased from there. It was a great idea. I stayed injure free, and after 5 months I could run 8km. If you are not used to running, then your body is going to have to adapt to the stress ut puts on the body. And that is worth while practicing without worrying about speed, or anything else.
All good advise. Ultimately one needs to find the right blend of work and rest to keep going. Starting my 21st year running. I'm grateful.
What a lovely gentle video - a great reminder its supposed to be enjoyable and that slow and steady is fine :)
Goran, I have made more of these mistakes than I care to admit! I have done over 18 months of PT and had 3 relapses. To hear how many injuries that you have had gives me some hope.
Thanks for the tips! Very good ones I think🙂. I think you have followed your own advance and I think it has improved both your running and film making!
Nicely put together video and thanks for the tips.
I also like the more relaxed days and I think as runners we all chase those days when everything feels right and it's almost like you smile the whole run.
My wife is a competitive rower and she describes a similar sensation in the boat when all these seperate elements all come together for a "perfect" row.
Thanks for your tips Goran!! Sadly, we have all made some of those mistakes 😂😂😂 I love your videos! enjoy your two little princesses 🥰🥰
Hi! Unfortunately due to health issues I can’t run as a sport. But I love watching your videos. It inspires me to work out everyday. The last tip is so important! Without that I would have never known my body wasn’t made for running. But more fore walking, cycling, HITT. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next adventure 👌😎
Your video is great, I made all the mistakes you spoke of, so great advice!!
Needed to hear this today!
Great advice. I been lifting often and I never go too hard. I hardly train running and today I ran and injured my back of leg behind knee. I over did it, I gotta treat my runs like I do my lifting. Do it often and easy peasy and not trying to make up for lack of running.
Fantastic video! You are so right when you say we are responsible for our injuries. As a beginner I find myself trying to push hard without realizing the consequences. This video along with the foot exercise will avoid many issues on my bright beginner days! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Göran for these pieces of advice. I couldn't say that I hit each of them but almost ;). Well the bright side is that I'm now on the end of my first recovery (knee problem) and seriously intended to follow the smart way ;). Thanks again for sharing your experience. Even if it could sounds obvious, it's never bad to hear it.
Thanks for your video! I started running at 47 with the help of a running app but stopped when covide happened. Starting again at the age of 50! Really appreciate these tips you shared:) And have a fun time with your 2 little ones! Kids grow up so fast, so enjoy the journey!
I like your simplicity in explaining, your frozen half marathon looks like a great race 😀😀🏃♀️🏃♂️👌
Great advice!
I have started running again after many years away from it.
Yes. Too much too soon is not good.
Thank you. 👍 🇳🇴 🏴
You have good /positive energy and thx for the tips!
Great video !
I’m new to your channel!
I’m from Waterloo Ontario Canada. I’m 59 years old and I signed up for my first marathon in September of’23.
Thanks a lot for the advice…I will definitely take it to heart.
Happy Running 😊
Great tips Goran. Love your style and vids, keep em coming
Thanks Jon!
Thanks for the advice. It’s really motivated me.
Your videos always make me want to visit Norway!
As always great content.
What helped me to listen to my body:
I always go out, following my schedule (except if I am really ill or injured), BUT if it doesn't feel right, I might do a slower training or even stop it completely.
By going outside according to my schedule, I can say to myself afterwards:
"At least I tried, but my body wasn't ready yet."
=>it is easier to stop without feeling lazy
Thank you so much for this straight forward advice ❤️
Very nice video! Thanks a lot for the tips and that half-marathon in the ice is a DREAM!!!
Thanks, that video will be published this Sunday 😀
First time on this channel. Quite surprised with the amount of your experience, and yet the simplicity and clarity of things that you mention. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Ukraine!
Thank you for this advice. I will pay more attention to my body, learn not to be so ambitious with my running, and enjoy them more.
These pieces of advice are absolutely SPOT ON, from my experience. I'm 59, and I run 7-8 miles, every OTHER day. Looking back at my beginning running journey, I can confidently say that I made EVERY one of these mistakes early on! ALL of them! If you'll listen to his advice if you're just starting out, I can say with high confidence that you'll love your runs, love the progress, and love being INJURY-FREE, which to me is the #1 thing that defines a "good run". Never outrun your joy of running!!!
I over did everything.
@@matthoward8546 Me too!!
I would push through just to get to 5km and afterwards I'd not be able to walk for a week, or run for a month... So stupid! I'm only just actually taking this advice onboard now after 6 years on/off running...
Excellent video!! Thank you and congratulations for your work
Many thanks!
Tack för inspiration. Thx for inspiration.
Great tips, Göran! They all go along the lines to what I hear from a few other professionals I follow. Enjoy your half marathon trip!
Thanks Roberto!
I truly enjoyed your explaination
Wow this is amazing thanks for sharing your experience in positions you had being trying to go for a high level athlete
Thankyou very much 👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you Göran. Some good common sense tips 👍🏼
Currently recovering from runner’s knee and I can honestly say I did everything in my power to do things right as I have previously overused my elbow. I bought professionally fitted shoes, started with walks/runs, stopped running when I felt pain and didn’t run for 2-3 days after that. Still managed to get injured and I honestly feel so gutted because I did so much research before I started and now I’m scared I won’t be able to run for many weeks. It feels so defeating.
Did you get better? I hard it’s good to strengthen your front thighs for that. It’s supposed to build up the muscle around the knee.
That must have been so frustrating!!! My family on both sides have joint issues so I already know pain is in my future😂😂I don’t think I’ll be able to avoid it entirely. Do u think your pain has a big genetic factor or did you find a different culprit?
You have to do a bunch of strengthening stuff. As good as not doing stuff and resting is, you have to do strengthening stuff. Tons of injuries are from weakness, especially knees. I have a ton of experience with knee pains. Strength is key
You look like a honest and humble person, those are qualities for a mentor or trainer. Congrats for your videos, really appreciate the effort you put on them. Im 40 years old, just like to go out and run. I dont take running seriously, i mean, dont follow others tips, dont do special exercises for my body, or eat healthy. 15 km is my longest distance now, using a phase of 4:30 / km. I dont know if i continue doing that, maybe will hurt my body.
Thanks for advise , good points
thats very nice of you to share those tips, I appreciate you ✨🌸🙏
this will be very helpful for me.
Thank you from Australia
Glad it was helpful!
Not only an amazing video with great advice but what amazing camera work and cinematography. I want to go to Norway now.
Thanks 😊
Very useful and informative video, thanks. You are a natural and engaging presenter!
Thanks Klaus that makes me very happy to hear! 😊
Great video, sir!
Loved this! It's true about injury. Every injury I've ever had, I can identify a clear mistake I made that caused it. Looking forward to the frozen lake film!
Thanks Kelly! 😊
Great video Göran, thank you!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Great tips! 4 is my favourite, I improved so much in the past year after realising I was the cause of a small injury. Since then, it’s been a huge breakthrough
Thanks glad you liked it!
I am the reason for all of my running injuries. I run to fast, and I load to many miles. Thank you for your tips! It is time to own up to my mistakes and now it's time to get busy :)
This video is great, it is so nice to hear this from a good runner, maybe my own much much much less professional experience will encourage others as well.
I am 32 right now and I started out with running up stairs. It is an outdoors stair in a park with about 140 steps. Its really exhausting and doesn't strain my knees that much. No matter how slow you start you will be exhausted when you reach the top and gasping for air. Which might not sound like a good feeling and really its actually something I don't enjoy at that particular moment but for some reason got me kind of hooked. Worked my way up slowly, now I am able to do 8 repetitions.
When I felt that I got strong enough I started running 300 meters on a 400 meter track. 100 meters fast, 100 meters slow and again 100 meters fast and I would walk another 100 meters ( and just rest between 400 meters as much as I felt that I needed but I wasn't resting between the 100 meter runs). I would do this 4 times.
I don't run on the track on the days I run on the stairs.
This isn't that much running but after 5 months for the first time in my life I actually felt good about running on a flat track. I can't run long distances comfortably and right now I am not really aiming for that and I might never be able to, but why I wrote this is that you don't have to run marathons to enjoy and feel the benefits of running.
And I must say I don't always enjoy every running session. In fact it is still really hard for me to muster up the will power and get out there. This part never really got easier for me. My brain is still lazy and a lot of the time it feels like I am just dragging myself and thats also okay. I usually feel a lot lot better about myself after the runs/stairs.
Also don't abuse yourself when you gave in the temptation and skipped a session. Or when you had a good few weeks but can't keep up with the consistency. Its okay to start again, and its okay to suck at this. Many things can happen in life that will interfere with your running schedule and sometimes theres nothing you can do about it even though you feel like you could've done something about it. In my experience there is no magic pill that will make this easier.
I hope this comment will be helpful to at least one person.
👍🤩thank you! Very useful, informational video🌱🌱🌱 wow , oh I'd love to run a marathon on the frozen lake💎 we run 1st of all for ourselves, our health, our well being - yes, that sums it all up, so well said! Enjoy your runs 🍀thanks again
Love your content Göran: educational, pragmatic and zero bullsh1t. ❤
Thanks! 😊
Great tips and video! Thanks as always!!!
Thanks Chad 😊
Hey man just checking out your blog...greatest advice ever.....I am a long distance runner 🏃♀️ returning from injury.......
Would love to run the half marathon on ice...dammmmmmmmmm
Hi Göran! I have been watching you for a very long time now. I absolutely love your videos. The style and production is fantastic. Is it possible you could document the making of your videos? Watching you set up and film the takes would be great !
Like a fly in the wall kind of thing
Thank you for the inspiration 👍😊
Thanks for watching 😊
Tq for the golden advise!
Not really a lot of new thinking in this video but still a very good reminder as I think we can all get carried away from time to time, thinking that we are almost pro athletes, and pushing ourselves a bit too far a bit too fast. Especially the last point in this video - remembering that you are running for yourself and your own wellbeing - can too often be forgotten or at least become secondary when it should, for us amateurs anyway, be the primary goal.
Thank you Göran.
I've been to that beach when I was a kid. Very fond memories from that place! Jekøya is great, a gem in the Oslofjord!
Very well explained
Very good perfect recommendation thank you
This really is good advice. Last 6 years have ended in injuries and disappointment. First 3 years were chronic use injuries, the other two have been accidents that prematurely ended my ability to exercise. I'm praying things turn around for me.
Glad you liked it, and I wish you the best!
Altid super gode videoer, tak. Held og lykke med halvmarathon🏃♂️🙏🥶
Takk Allan!
Great tips brother, I like your contents. God bless you 🙏
Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for your advice!!!!
You are so welcome! 😊
Hi Goran. Great video. I'm looking to get back to running after a lower back injury (disc hernia) I had in January. Spent 2 months without training now because I'm still in physical therapy. What would you recommend focusing on once i start running again? I am thinking about focusing on strength, stability, form and running base. I would not even think about speed for now because the injury happened after one of my interval sessions. I neglected strength training before and i think that probably led me to this so i want to make sure I'm ready for speed before i even attempt it. Before the injury i ran 50km per week and was planning to get to 20min 5k this year (i was at 22min)
Great tips! I think we all can relate to these mistakes. I know i can😊
Really enjoy your videos. So good and inspiring👍
Thanks Mads 😊
Njoyed this vid. Well done n thanks!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you very much for this very helpful video!

I'm just getting back into running after years and this was a great video and very helpful, I love your presentation style, friendly, laidback, and to the point. Great job!
Thanks for your nice comment and good luck with your running!
@@goranwinblad Thank you! Consistency is king! :)
Great Video! 👏👏👏
Thanks Roman 😊
Great video, love the low key presentation, so encouraging for those of us (like me) who don't find running easy but would like to enjoy it anyway.
Thanks, glad to hear you liked it! 😊
Low key all the way, wins the day 👍🏼
Appreciate for such worthy advices!
Thanks! 😊
Great video 👍
Great advice and great content.
Thanks 😊
Awesome tips and advice. Train slow to race fast. I am currently training for a 52 mile ultra marathon in Wyoming and for me it’s about building the base and enjoying the process. No one workout or run is worth an injury and ruining the long term goal. Thanks for making such positive and enjoyable content!
Thanks for your nice comment I'm glad you liked it and I wish you the best of luck in your ultra marathon training!
@@goranwinblad Thank you brother 🙏
No one workout is worth injury... I've never read it put so simply, it's perfect!!
Great tips thanks
Love you Brother!!!
Resonate with all of that. Thanks from New Zealand 😃
Glad to hear! 😊
One of my biggest issues is that I always just run too hard. Its a bad habit of being in the military when I was young and I think I did so poorly running in the Army because of this. I always pushed myself too hard (I am not a naturally athletic person) and left myself in a permanent state of recovery.
Its been drilled into my head that if I'm not dying running, I could have gone harder, and it just sucks. Perhaps I'll try this summer just to take it a lot easier.
You seem to be such a humble person.
I used to absolutely love running but I kept getting injured. I stopped a couple months ago but luckily this video came across my screen and I realized that I wasn't following any of these tips 😅😅😅. "If you got injured, you did something wrong". My biggest mistake was not fixing the problems with my training after every injury. This was definitely the video I needed to push me back into training, slowly this time.
great video thx alot!
Great video.
wise words, Goran!
Thanks Jakub 😊
Thank you coach.im am 37 years old and have been running for the last 7 years just for fitness. Thank you for valuable information.
Great to hear!
Thank you. Great advice.
You are so welcome!
Great video and a good summery of the important points everybody should know 👍🏻 one question: what running clothes especially which running pants did you wear?
Thanks Oliver! I mostly use clothes from a Norwegian brand called Trimtex.
Good Luck with the Frozen Lake 1/2 marathon. Looking forward to the footage.
Thanks Peter!
I love your approach with being "unlucky" we live in a society where people love to blame anything but their own choices and actions. Important point!
Love you man 👏👍👏
