- Today I want to answer a question I'm asked almost every week: how to run with relaxed shoulders. In this video I demonstrate a number of running technique tips you can use to learn how to relax your shoulders and run without neck pain.
Many of the runners I meet suffer with tight shoulders and tight neck muscles when they run, particularly when fatigued. The three tips in this video will help so many, I'm sure... Give them a go on your next run, and let me know how you feel :)

Fantastic! I was running this morning without any pain at all, (for a long long time) by following your three steps. Now its gonna be fun to run! Thank you, and God Bless you soo much!
Dude, dude for years I've suffered from shoulder pain. Up until now I have tried lifting weight to strengthen my shoulder. What a difference tip 1 made. Cheers man!
Hey I went for a run today and usually my shoulders/biceps would end up sore as hell but today it didn't happen, thanks a lot
Thanks for educate beginner proper technics, you cover almost every aspect of efficient , effortless running. I am big fan of you 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot sir. I have struggled with this for a long time
Great tips. I encounter tight upper back, from the thoracic region up to my neck most every time I run. Will incorporate these techniques. Thanks! 🤘
My father jumped after Jesse Owens in the Olympic Trials at Princeton in 1936. After his first jump, Jesse came up to him and said, "Harry, you'll go farther if you relax your arms." If you've ever seen videos of Owens running, you'll see how smooth his stride was. When we were kids, my father was always telling us what you just talked about on this video. Thanks!
Harry Preckwinkle Holy crap your father was in the olympics before world war 2 and met Jesse Owens and was congratulated by hitler?????
Thank you so much. I was looking for why my shoulders get tight when so walk, but your running video answers it. Thank you!
My right trap would usually start hurting at the end of my long runs. this should help. Thank you for the very helpful and easy to understand tips!
Great tips! I will definitely incorporate these into my runs.
amaaazing thank you so so much, I will try this today!! Before, when I would run (even just a mile or two), I would always have to put on pain patches and sit on the heating pad for an hour 😩 I'm so excited to try these tips out!
Good stuff james! Thank you
Great explanation James. I know I have a tendency to looking down when I'm running trails and have to remind myself frequently to keep my head up :D
Thanks, Gill!
James,
A great explanation, the best I have seen, you make it very easy to understand.Well done
Thanks, Bill! Glad you found the video helpful. I appreciate the support :)
Again awesome video with awesome tips! Keep up the good work, love your videos!
Thanks Linda! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos :) Thanks so much for the support - I appreciate it! Good luck with your running!
Thank you im going to implement these on my next run
This is great advice thanks so much
I think you just saved my life. Thank you for this video!
No problem! Hope it helps.
Thanks for this video! My left shoulder more than the right starts to ache around the 1 hour mark running I do run on trails a lot with roots So i have a habit of looking down. I can’t wait to try these new technique! Thanks
I can't believe my left shoulder pain comes from my left hand being clenched, it's so obvious when you think about it... Thanks a lot for this!
Good man - will try it out. After my neck has recovered 🙂
it was very helpfull to me sir , appreciate you alot❤❤
Very good advices
Thanks brother 🖤
Thank u man! Now I know my problem I always look down
Cant wait to try this out been really suffering with shoulder pain. *fingers crossed* a solution
Tried it, think shoulder is too far gone cause after 1.5 miles pain was there again. Concentrated on long neck etc. Found my cadence dropped quite a bit not sure why.
1000th Like! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for the support!
Thnx for the tips James! I always having to much tension in my schouders. Probably looked to close to the ground :)
No problem, Willem. I look forward to hearing how you get on with running with the technique cues in the video, and if it makes a difference to your shoulder tension.
Thank you !!
Thank you
Thanks a lot !!!
Thank you 🙏
That is very similar to the Chi Running pose ...similar concept and very beneficial,am I right about chi running ?
thanx mate
I'm going to try this on my 16 miler this weekend this makes alot of sense thanks!
How was it?
It worked my shoulders feel much better thanks for the tip!
Any tipps for side stitch problems please?
Great video again! For the clenched fist thing, the visualisation I've heard of and use (when I remember!) is to imagine you're holding a Pringles crisp in each hand and not crush it :-)
Love that visualisation... and that it has to be a Pringle specifically ;) Just makes me hungry!
Thanks this will help me.
When i straighten my back and shoulders like you said in point 2, I find it really hard to breathe in (stomach feels tight/restricted) so i end up having to hunch over to take a breath...and i end up with pain in neck/shoulders
I do all of this but whenever i run my shoulder kills me...idk why, maybe im doing something wrong
Another thing that seemed helpful for me (and for swimming as well) is getting in a corner of a room, and leaning face in to the corner allowing the two walls to stretch my bent arms -- it really stretches the chest and shoulders.. A physical therapist showed me this stretch.. I wish I could describe it better (James, feel free to demonstrate)..
Nice! I like to do a similar stretch using a doorframe.
And you have to think about all of this while running? Is there a neck strengthening exercise that can be done as well or instead?
For short video see from 04:30. Cheers
Sooooo helpful thanj you better than my physio lol
Great videos james! Have you ever done triathlons or a half triathlon?
Thanks Mario :) I've never found enough enjoyment from cycling to get very far with triathlon training!
I ran 10 meters and got neck pain. What do you think it was?
How come this only happens to me on the treadmill?? Without fail I end up with shoulder and neck pain but it never happens running outside.
Key is “think about”
Since i play football/soccer i run a lot because of my position. I have other things going through my mind like the tactics and where to run and go it will be pretty hard for me to think about doing those 3 things and playing in a football/soccer match. Any tips?
David Garcia practice on it till it become natural
hi james, i have a similar issue: while i'm running sometimes my neck keeps clicking... what could it be?
Thanks for the tips, i dont know anyone else share this problem like I do for this bother me because I have round shoulder and I especially do a lot of push ups for work out, so when I run during my 10km my shoulder gets really tight and tired.
On the other hand I tried to use the methods u mention in video, I feel my upper body not leaning forward enough for making a fast run...the posture for fast run, you suppose to lean your upper body slightly forward, right?
Haha... Thats massive indeed
👍👍👍
every 3.5km i will feel this pain..on my left shoulder..
finalyy i can run in peace
John mayer?!
Clinch my fist bc I’m holding my phone
I had to pause the video to make sure policemen weren't outside my apartment
😂😂😂
Thank you
