Absolutely true I used to push myself hard because I had stamina but I over worked my knees and I couldn't even walk, now I run only 3 times a week, 30 minutes each, with rest in between, long and steady wins the race
Yeah, as an overweight person, I try to walk and anyone can try walking instead of running. You might be able to walk 3 miles instead of only being able to run 1 mile, or you might be able to run 3 miles but do you want to risk injury or overtraining yourself?.
@@somebody1291 Thank you for the suggestion. I do think that cycling can be a very nice way of not only losing weight but also being used as a method of transportation, a way to be outside and to not have some of the negatives of running. Though I do remember when I used to ride an electric bicycle on full throttle. There was a time when I was going outside more (which was nice) but my legs felt like they were weaker, because I would frequently leave my home on the electric bicycle without walking much, if at all. I know that there are electric bicycles that allow you to use pedal assist, but even then, and even of regular bicycles, a person's legs can become weaker if the muscles are not used normally. As long as you don't fully forsake walking to an extent or running to an extent, using a bicycle to lose weight is overall a good option to use.
I’ve been running for two months now and my body is in agony after every run 😭 Especially my back I think I have a weak core and I’m also kinda heavy (190 lbs)
Yo dude, im about 6'1 220 lbs. As a larger newer runner (Running my first 10k next month) I have found that a proper warm up and cool down are super important for my body. I use massage gun, stretch, plyometrics and a small 5min walk prior to running. Good luck!@@musicbot101
To be fair every runner I’ve met has pushed themselves to far, seems common in the running field to overwork your body instead of naturally letting your body get to a higher running capacity by slowly building up.
Very true! After 15 years, and a high cholesterol notification from my doctor I started getting back into running. Last week I got a 3 mile run in, but have an inflamed left knee because I pushed it too hard too fast. Learned my lesson and going to take it a lot slower before ramping up.
Thank you for making this clip. Your statement is what I thought must be true, but as a beginner runner just getting into the activity, I hear this myth a lot. I've just completed my first half marathon last weekend, and a bit of knee pain makes me think that I am ramping up slightly too quick and not paying enough attention to form.
What about doing lifting for your tibialis, calves, knee over toe lunges, and such. Is that helpful for running? Like, do runners do those specific exercises to help with shin splints and knee strength?
There was a large study that looked at rates of arthritis in knees and hips of runners and non-runners. The rates were about the same, but runners reported lower pain scores, better functional capacity, and had better functional return if they got surgery.
Exactly, been running daily for 3 months and I can tell you that running form is important.... Wear proper shoes, massage your feet, see a doctor if you feel pain in your lower legs like claudication, take more fluids cos heavy carbs will likely make you get exhausted if not properly digested
....too much man. Reduce that to a mile with rest of one day atleast, brother. This might help, and if not reduce to a half mile and a rest day inbetween running days.
Correction running is bad for you knees if you are overweight. If your big just stick to the elliptical. I was 320 and now I'm 170 and never left the elliptical. ELLIPTICAL FOR LIFE!!!!!!!
I run 2 miles everyday. I'm currently doing that mixed with calisthenics to lose weight. I came from 285 to now 213. My left knee always hurts after I run. But not when I run. Any help on what could help the pain?. I stretch before and after I run and I run 12 min per mile
I had knee injury for the exact same two reasons. Now i m unable to run. Can u tell me what to do to get rid of this knee pain. Plzz tell me in detail or give a link cause i really love running and i think not able to run is the saddest thing i will ever have.
Well just rest n don't used your knees as much as you can I think some people heal slower maybe your body's need more time to heal so maybe take like half a year to completely heal. But easiest way would be go see a doctor have them xray see if it's a bone or muscle tissue
I don’t agree entirely. There are variables for a person on why they should avoid running. Such as age, BMI and But I do agree, every body who is capable, should be running or working towards to get back to running (prehab/rehab). If you have knee pain from running, like he said, is a result of bad form. Most likely your foot is striking a bit too forward which will stress your knee over time. Not only does it make your joints vulnerable, it’s slowing your time. You should be gliding smoothly and being efficient but instead the overreach foot kills it a bit. So how to fix these; 1) soft tissue work on the over used quads 2) start doing strength. Since quad is being over used, focus on your posterior chain like hamstrings stuff or dead lift. So more importantly fix form so it doesn’t come back. Holler at me DM if you want a running coach
I am not an anatomy expert but as a runner I would say as long as you warmup/cooldown properly and don’t overwork yourself, running is nothing but beneficial for every aspect of your physical and mental health

Will running hurt your knees? No of course not. But actually yes. Especially if you run too much. How much is too much? I wont tell you. But just run with good form. Whats good form? I wont explain that either. Like and subscribe. Dislike
This happens to me when I don't warm up enough, before a run. There are a bunch of videos on RUclips that help people warm up legs before a run. I like watching The running experience vids for some assistance at times. Overall, I typically do specific yoga poses, a bit of weightlifting, and a minute or two of treadmill walking.
Distance running isn’t evolutionarily consistent, that’s not a myth. Humans should be walking or sprinting. Just like soccer players, basketball players, rugby players, football players, so on
Our ability to run long distances is what helped ancient peoples hunt much larger animals and stronger than them run them to death because humans have much more stamina than most animals
Maybe my coaches should take notes we have never had a rest day ever and they also tell us to pace ourselves at our own paces but they make us beat a certain times on 400’s which is so hard because we have to sprint them over and over and over with only 30 seconds of rest in between

@@ItsJam3z that's probably true. But I'd say it's very easy to go too far with running. So much impact on every step

Same. I don't care what studies say. Based on my experience every single one of them has bad knees and joints.

Couldn’t agree more!! Running gets a bad rep. Do it properly and prioritize nutrition/recovery and you’ll be thriving.
go tell David goggin😅
As a freshman in hs I have overuse injuries.. not fun. Yet considering we are the defending state champions, training is important.
heel strikers ruin their knees

Any resources Matt to get good running form?
My hiking boots are buckling my knees . Get some slip-ons , fellas . I can’t go on without them .

Can you do a intermediate running schedule. (I usually run 30 miles a week)
Yes I agree I had so much pain because of pushing too much in the beginning of my running journey. It's best to run and then skip 2 days go again.
It looks so much like Herman Park where you run, it’s like my fav place to run
Bro same, and memorial park
Thanks for this!
Running injuries are also caused by muscle imbalances
Easy to say when you’re in your 20’s! Running conclusively is bad for your long term mobility-no matter your form.
I've seen people in their 50s running with great physique
@@zooropa414 lol 50's isnt old when youre in your 70's you will need knee replacements, or be crippled for running this hard earlier in life.

Yeah, I have a bad knee due to overuse injury
So true... I really did damage to doing it everyday and adding 5 min too quickly.
I use to run 9 miles a day and them knees where definitely overused felt like middle age growing pain now I only run for 15mins a day
Running helped my knees
Its the shins for me lol 🙌 shin splints fun!
Much more important is avoiding heel striking and striking on the forefoot instead
What about doing lifting for your tibialis, calves, knee over toe lunges, and such. Is that helpful for running? Like, do runners do those specific exercises to help with shin splints and knee strength?
There was a large study that looked at rates of arthritis in knees and hips of runners and non-runners. The rates were about the same, but runners reported lower pain scores, better functional capacity, and had better functional return if they got surgery.
As long as your lifting and strengthening your knees as well as stretching and recovering once your body adapts you should be fine.
How in the world have you kept those Catamounts so clean? Mine are basically brown now.
Best running shoes?
Exactly, been running daily for 3 months and I can tell you that running form is important.... Wear proper shoes, massage your feet, see a doctor if you feel pain in your lower legs like claudication, take more fluids cos heavy carbs will likely make you get exhausted if not properly digested
Well… it can.
I’m an ultra runner, and have frequent knee injuries. Especially synovitis.
Ergo overuse injury 🙄
my knee is literally hurting so bad. i literally only run like 2.5 miles a day 💀
that’s not that bad
Did you get fitted for shoes?
....too much man. Reduce that to a mile with rest of one day atleast, brother. This might help, and if not reduce to a half mile and a rest day inbetween running days.
Yea my legs are stiff when I run because it’s this tolerable weird pain. I feel like I overstretch maybe. Idk.
The three “Don’t”s in Any Exercise:
Don’t ignore proper form/technique
Don’t ignore/skip proper rest days
Don’t overexert intensity

I’m gonna run with support sleeves. It restricts movement but it should only help unless ur going for speed. I wanna run till I’m good and old.
Use patellar straps they’re better than sleeve imo

Could you do a training schedule for 50 miles a week

Good video.
Yo, what shoes are those?
Can we take ice bath and use recovery boots daily
Use kt tape, i easily get injured since i run almost 5-6 times a day 😅. But kt tape does more to support your knee than expected
