  • 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 :)

    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!

    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!

    • @brynthomas1498
      @brynthomas1498 Před 4 lety

      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.

      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.

    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 :-)

    • @JamesDunne
      @JamesDunne  Před 8 lety

      Love that visualisation... and that it has to be a Pringle specifically ;) Just makes me hungry!

    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

  • @aperson1756
    @aperson1756 Před 4 lety +1

    I do all of this but whenever i run my shoulder kills me...idk why, maybe im doing something wrong

  • @benjaminvmobile
    @benjaminvmobile Před 8 lety

    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)..

    • @JamesDunne
      @JamesDunne  Před 8 lety +1

      Nice! I like to do a similar stretch using a doorframe.

  • @ohlala6674
    @ohlala6674 Před 3 lety

    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?

    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?

  • @michelangeloleone4632

    hi james, i have a similar issue: while i'm running sometimes my neck keeps clicking... what could it be?

  • @privatefamilyhomevideo

    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?
