Lovely exercise vids and you channel is ace! After doing this routine for the first time i strained my ankle on top of a mountain yesterday, i was only jogging on the spot too! Its ok, just swollen with no bruising so I'm hoping its just time it needs. Time off running hurts more though hey. Keep up the videos, love it!
DOMS, history of PF, occasional low motivation, and high heart rate all suggest you are getting through your long runs with your athleticism and toughness, vs. a base of consistency. Might this lowly, little turtle humbly suggest you chuck all of those pace/distance/goal burdens we all carry along, and just go out 5-6x per week for slow, easy (no injuries allowed!) runs just for the FUN of it? FUN! Throw in a long one, or a hill repeat session when your body feels like it, or when the blokes in the running club haul you out. The consistency will lift you like wings on an angel. More opportunities to try out new outfits! It will restore your love of just being afoot. Only a 5k today, no problem! Your goal should be the enjoyment. Then, as your consistency builds, you can gradually work in more challenges. But as your consistency builds, so will your enjoyment, and so will your performance. You got through the Scafell Skyrace without a strong base coming off an injury? Wow. That is very impressive.
@@wildgingerruns Just watched your video on "How Normal People Train..." detailing in great detail and several weeks ago, your suggestion about running slower and easier sessions. Sorry! Turns out I was preaching to the minister (above).
Is your knee supposed to project that far beyond your toes? I was always told when performing single leg squats that if your knee goes beyond your toes, you're not correctly engaging your glutes so you won't get the benefit of the exercise?
It's funny as this RW article says keep you knee over your ankle despite the image showing the knee beyond the ankle. www.runnersworld.com/workouts/glute-strengthening-workout/slide/5 I think this says more about the RW consistency than anything :) All I know is that the specialist I saw said keep the knee and ankle inline and when I do that I it's a lot harder and can feel the glute engaging far more than letting the knee drift beyond the ankle. I'd love to try a Skyrace, mega jealous!
Please be advised: 36K isn't that far and 2800 feet of incline isn't much. No one should be complaining about that. Now then, the rest of the advice: A+
Wild Ginger Films Hi Claire, I didn't take part in the Sky race. However I have completed many trail marathons and ultra around those parts and know firsthand just how challenging the terrain can be. Was there much opportunity to run for any length of time, or did the terrain and insane vert make it impossible?
thank you
You're welcome :)
nice exercise! thank you
Excellent - thanks for this!
No probs!
