The topic is very well covered. I did the transition from heel striking to mid foot strike doing exactly what you said which is insuring that my hill touched the ground each time my foot touched the ground as it was way to hard for me to run on the front of the foot without my heel touching the ground. One trick that made the difference is that I stopped thinking about how my foot touched the ground but where relative to my hip. I tried to touch the ground with my foot in straight line down with my hip, as soon as I started doing that My heel did not hit the ground first and also I stopped making noise with my feet. Running fast is another story. Once you have a good technic you need to run intervals on the track to pick-up speed. Speed will not happen by magic if you do not invest time to get out of your comfort zone. In any case these were my comments. I found that James is by far the best advisor on running techniques and injuries prevention that I have found so far. It took me about 2 years to make my transition from heel to mid foot striking. Good luck finding short cuts. Have a pleasant day.
Thanks for this video. I’m 5’10 250lbs. I had major ankle surgery over a year ago and I’m finally committing to get back into running. This will be very helpful.
James very useful video. 6'5", 93kg. Frequently injured and getting older! Similar to other comments on here would love to see a weights / strength based programme if you are able, for distance runners. Loved the 30d challenge. Although I've been running for 30 years that 30d was a new thing and really helpful. Cheers.
The tip with fewer running days is GOLDEN!!!!! I got so much advice , saying as a first step, build up to the amount of days you will want to run in the future, so I built up to 6 days and when I finally split 55k among these 6 days, one day I was out of it and suffered severe overtraining syndrome for 10 weeks or so. I will now stack more miles in one run and take more days completely off and no, I didnt rush it. I took 8 months to go up to 55k from zero. Nevertheless I broke down. If youre heavy, take it really easy
I'm 190 cm (6 feet 3 inches) and I find vey difficult to go below the 180 pounds...I find very difficult to find my shoe size too :-) Thank you for the video
Dear Mr James. I love running, and am obsessed with Eliud. Watched very closely most of his marathons full lenght. One thing always strikes me, is that whenever fans follow him along, on the side of race course, Eliud seem like effortlessly flying with slow steady movement, while regular people aside (fans) seem like in full sprint to briefly match his tempo. To explain it better: If I saw them in separate frames, I would say, that sprinting person run twice as fast as Eliud does, yet it is the exact opposite. Why is that? What is the anatomy behind this illusion?
@@rutessiantry different shoes. I used to get them frequently in boots on road marches and running in old shoes. New shoes like Nike rn4 and Boston 12's no issues.
Im 6'5" fast Cadence shorter strid has not really help my times. I've work on push out the back for years i can run 20 miles no problem has not helped much with speed. Knee drive forward is a really helping engage the glutes
Great Video! I'm struggling with tight calves by the end of most runs, but then also the next morning or after a long day sitting at the desk. The "bigger guy" factor definitely applies for me, but at a US12/EUR47 shoesize I'm wondering whether the length of that lever (the foot) also puts extra strain on the calves...
I weigh 200 lbs @ 5’10. I find that a faster cadence definitely reduces the impact on the joints, but we do have to work harder leaving us with a bit higher bpm. More mass = a bit slower. I primarily strike with my mid foot. This allows me to have faster cadence.
It took me years to realize this, but i actually need to walk to be in Zone 2. I weigh 230 lb. i cant compare myself to a 160lb runner, im effectively wearing a 70 lb weight vest.
James thanks for another great video, really intersting as 6'1" 86kg guy. May I ask please what distance you typically retire your shoes? Or how else do you judge when they are done, is it by sole wear alone? Many thanks!
Thanks, James! I usually aim to retire mine every 600-700 miles or there abouts. GTN posted a great video on exactly this topic: ruclips.net/video/oniHRKu_sfg/видео.html
I'm 140lbs and the havest runner I know I have had a hip replacement and therefore only run short runs I have heard that bearfoot shoes force you to run with better form Would you advise using them for a training tool on short runs to work on running form
189cm now aroynd 85kg.been training for 3 years, mostly trail running. Trying to increase cadence to 170. I do alot of maf training though - and i notice that my maf pace pulse is unsubstainable when i try to increase cadence. On trail running, i often hit 250 cadence on techibcal terrain - so i know i can do it. Why does my pulse go up, on same speed/km but with higher cadence? This is a real struggle for me running up to 60km/week - if i cant keep my puls zones/maf - i will probably get injured? Btw im a slow runner: proud to hit 7.15 min/km on maf pace (under 140 pulse) this summer. I have no knee or calves problems, only wrist tendonitis.
At last - someone that takes a big shoe - thought it was just me - size 13.5 uk wide and yes no much choice - I’m new to this but appears to be new balance and Hoka - any other recommendations welcome - also I have the hoka arahi - I think that means lots of cushioning - do they do one with less like you talk about for better feel- or you mentioned saucony?
I'm pretty heavy. My running is pretty quiet though but I think it's because i run naturally as a forefoot runner... Which over longer distances isn't great because it kills my calfs. I'm pretty good at mid foot striking now but when I'm fatigued and form breaks down...
For recovery I've been taking bcaas's and then having half an hour on my massage gun to draw the new blood with the amino acids to the places that need healing, then I'm keeping to short 2k runs in week with flats and hills in to try and build a base and I'm thinking of adding in a 5 k completely flat slow pace run on a weekend. Only been running a month but when I start to get better I will change my plan
Bcaa's are useless friend. Without a protein they are expensive pee. You get better results from just a protein drink. Hopefully your running is going well!

Nice to see a video about heavy runners. Understanding that my build up might require different attention than others. Keep more like these coming.

How do you deal with shin splints? I feel them after less than 100 meters.

Same here, I guess yes, because fast runners have small feet...

What is everyone's mile time? I can't break a 12 min mile pace and have been trying for 3 years
I went from a cadence of 163 to a cadence of 172 and I feel like it is a lot easier on the body
Every time jame’s blinks..we must take another drink….
Sir, make a distance runner weight training video
