Love this advice! I started in May 2017 with walk/run, 3 months later first mile, month later first 3 miles, half marathon in Oct 2019 and marathon Jan 2020...and onwards. This slow progression into running really works!
@@cherifkara1127 I have incorporated a lot of what TRE coaches share. Finding what you can do consistently is definitely a key. The main thing for me is running mostly easy miles. I ran too hard too often the first year and had several injuries. I run 85-90% easy and then add in some harder efforts (mostly in the form of fartlek/intervals during my normal runs). I have figured out that my body can only handle 5 runs per week. Cross training (rowing machine, biking, hiking) and two 30 minute strength sessions a week have made a significant different the last year and a half. For some context, I'm 52 and a larger build (185lb is a good weight for me)
one thing that helped me run longer was cadence increase. i usually feel better with longer strides, my natural cadence is 160. i take care not to heel strike and not to land in front of my knee and i have no problems when running 5k. when i run over 10k my hips start to hurt. my breathing is easy, my legs aren't tired, but my hips are hurting and i don't want to force it and get injured. first time i did 15k was too soon (three weeks after i started running) so i figured i should go back and increase my distance slowly. a month later i slowly got above 10k and to 15k again and my hips were hurting again. i have read about the magic 180 cadence and i read about how it doesn't necessarily apply to everyone but i decided to try and increase my cadence. i use a metronome app on my phone and set it to 170, i didn't want to increase it too much too soon. turns out increasing my cadence from 160 to 170 helped A LOT! i did a few 10k runs and it was ok. i ran 17k last night and my hips didn't give me any trouble. gonna try my first half marathon next week. i just wanted to share this, if anyone had the same problem.
I’ve had to restart from zero after being deathly ill 2x now. There is some embracing the suck involved at first but when you see results over time… it’s the most empowering feeling. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, learn to relax and enjoy the journey. Focus on small gains over a long time. Persistence and resilience you will blow yourself away with what you are capable of. Hoping to do my second full marathon fall 2022.
awesomeness video -- I started the "walk run" method about 3 years ago ((None to run program)) -- cause my doctor told me my heart would survive 30 minutes of exercise (I was 53 then) --- Then I discovered TRE, once I could run 30 minutes nonstop ((took about 3 months to get there)) ----- and now I'm a RUNNER -- well up to 7 miles - or 1 hour whichever comes first ---- which is usually the hour, and about 5 miles -- LOL -- I love TRE ad all the work everyone puts forth to produce videos for us , thank you
Walking is good for runners! I walk the first mile before running most times I go out. As an added benefit it takes the pressure off to make the pace on Strava look impressive. And I usually walk the hill up to my house at the end of a run too. I think the gentle warm up helps to keep things aerobic once I do start running and I feel less creaky too, especially if my volume is high. Thanks for the encouraging content!
I love these videos. I am planning to train for my first 10k. I used to think since I run-walk-run, I felt I wasn't an athlete. Your channel made me realise how wrong I was. 😉
Meghana Rai....love this comment! i am the same way. i literally just finished a 4 mile trail (i am also training for a 10k). it was a brand new trail for me. major hills!!! i had to walk a few times, but i made it back to my car without tripping, getting lost or throwing up. .so that is a WIN for me:) Don't sell yourself short...you are an athlete.. you are a runner! 😊🏃♀️
I was just thinking about what you said the other day doing a 12K normal run about how lucky I am. I am 62 years old and notice that there are not a lot of us older runners out there. I do lots of strength training and know I am not 30 anymore so I am slower but so far injury free
Talking sense. I did a run/walk program, as little as 30 sec run, and at first I thought this is silly but I stuck with it through the incremental system and now I can run for an hour 10k.
Great video!! I know you guys have said it before, but comparison truly is the thief of joy. Block out the "shoulds"... I SHOULD be faster, I should be able to run longer, I SHOULD look more like a greyhound than a Rottweiler. Forget that big pile of "should" and follow the plan. Before you know it, you'll be going faster, further, and lighter. Rushing things will only hold you back and keep you in the same spot, but with a limp.
I completed the marathon section of an Ironman after splitting open my big toe hitting a curb on the bike by using the run/walk method. I only lost 5mins overall compared to my running marathon pace due to being able to run faster for short bursts and then recovering(as well as letting the pain subside). Run/walk is something to keep in the back pocket as well for when things don't go to plan
The trick for me was learning to run in my cardio zone. It was hard to slow down to 120 to 130 beats per minute. I actually sweated more in this Zone. I could go longer and I felt better at the end.
Im just starting out again after a year and its tough. I stopped a year ago because I got a calf injury. But my main problem is breathing difficulties with running. I'm 60 and I had a triple heart bypass 6 years ago. Since then I lost 70lbs of fat from walking, a bit of casual cycling, good diet, lifestyle changes and some resistance training. I do my resistance training with Kettlebells and it gets my heart rate up real good to about 85% of my heart max rate and I never have issues with breathing there. I do mountain walking and have no breathing issues with that either nor for casual cycling. I wanted to add running to my lifestyle, but I finding it hard and I'm trying to learn to get over the breathing hump. I don't know if its my heart condition, 20 years of smoking tobacco (off them 19 years now), or decades of abusing my body....or it just a lack of tuition and the capacity to do it at the moment and need a more slower and gradual approach. The first 15 minutes really sets my chest (probably my lungs) on fire, but when I do get over that hump, things settles down and that burn goes away and I can continue on and it becomes enjoyable then. I see from various videos like this that I'm making some errors too. I think im doing too much too soon and probably taking too big a strides as well. I also think my breathing is off too. For instance, when I was feeling the "burn" I was naturally trying to counteract that by taking in huge gulps of air through the mouth and I think that this actually made matters worse. I learned that I should be going in and out through the nose...probably using a slow four stride inhale and exhale. I think I'm also one of those guys that that need to warm up my chest and lungs slowly so I might need to adjust things to get comfortable in those parameters no matter how much I have to slow down. Any tips and advice gladly appreciated.....I really want this to work. I even invested in a decent pair of Nike Zoom Invincible shoes to have something decent on my feet to start off with.
Great video. By the way, no video showed "over your shoulder" ... must've been something to do with the RUclips card. Would love to watch that video too.
Really good video. There aren't enough videos geared towards beginners and these were some great tips. I'll be watching more of your vids and hopefully you can help me become a better runner. By the way, your Canadian came out right there at the end. PROcess instead of the American PRAHcess. No wonder you seem like such a nice guy, you're from north of the border.
Great video thank you for sharing! I prefer not to wear a watch while running. Run by feel and I enjoy listening to music while I run. Just got done with a 2 1/2 hour run.❤️👟👟🏃🏼♂️😎🇺🇸 PS. I do run with a high cadence.(180/200 ) BPM. With a slight forward lean Chi running.😜 Happy Running and happy trails cheers.
Thanks for your advice. After six months of making progress I’ve inflamed my achilles. Actually I have calcium particles causing the extreme pain. It’s hurting all the way to my calf. My podiatrist yes giving me laser treatments. To relieve the pain. It’s been five days since I hurt myself. Pretty bummed out. I’m hoping to get back to running/training. Your video will greatly help me get back on track soon. I hope!?
Had calf problems a couple years ago that kept me from running for 3 months. I was able to replace with rowing machine and biking to keep up strength and motivation. Once I was able to run, it was pretty quick (about a month) to get back to previous capacity. Wishing you a fast recovery!
Have you seen a PT as well? Had a similar problem recently, gone in 2-3 weeks of doing the right exercise morning and evening. Also find out the cause of that injury before you start again if possible (for me it was adding uphill running, too soon, too fast)
I just started running again, and I don’t know why I was always like this, but I have a lot of trouble breathing when running. I feel Ike I’m constantly just holding it together. Like if you asked me a question while I was running, it’ll take a lot out of me to just answer the question, never mind have a full blown conversation. This includes jogging too, i could be running slow and still have this problem. I feel like the run controls me instead of the other way around. I’m trying to catch my breath the entire time.
Once you run so much you really do not run out of breath with some runners. I find my lungs feel like they can go 100 miles. When I do my 12 to 15 mile runs what does wear down is hip flexors and other muscle groups from the turnover. I wish there was more videos of that especially for runners in 40's and age and up. Way different body and mechanics for teens to 20 plus years old in age. Getting the right shoes and orthodics is key along with proper running form. If you can breathe but running form and foot support is all wrong new runners won't last long at all before an injury or wearing something down too fast. I used to run long distance 4 to 5 times a week but at 46 years of age have cut that back some and do other exercises in between for rest and not overusing specific muscle groups. Stretching is also critical as with more longer runs your body needs lots of recovery along with massage. If you don't stretch can get plantar fascia inflammation. It's a good idea if older in age to get an x-ray of your knees to see how much cartilage you have left. If you have advanced decay then running might make a problem worse and alternative exercises might be better that have less impact on the knee joints. Learning your body and what works and what doesn't is key and needs to be a type of exercise you actually enjoy. If you do not enjoy it then you won't want to stick with it long term. I can tell you the runners high and feeling great for days after words from a long run can be the best.
I feel the same. I’m 45 and I find that my legs and hips start to feel tired and heavy before I run out of breath. I run 5x a week. Guess I should start having more variety in my exercises
@@terencetan236 My doctor told me bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles all get older as we age and take more warm up and recovery to help avoid injury. Running 5 times a week and exercising in the same way can cause overuse of certain muscle groups. So my doctor advised me to run maybe 2 to 3 times a week so can maintain lung function and feel good and then mix in other types of exercise ( walking, HIIT type, swimming, weights, etc. ) Just varying things to give certain muscle groups a rest as the core focus and shift to more loads on other parts of the body. So I run 2 to 3 times a week and feel just as good. Stretching out calves really good helps also. I use Calf Pro and it has worked very well for me. Plantar fascia inflammation is often from tight calves. When other body parts over tighten then it puts more than normal loads on other body parts to pick up the slack and that is when tears and injuries have a high chance of occurring.
@@joelowens5211 that’s great advice. I used to do strength work twice a week and swam at least 2-3x a week as well. But have been neglecting those exercises as running more miles gave more satisfaction. Your advice and comments is a timely reminder to add variety to my regimen once again.
@@joelowens5211 yes -- exactly -- I'm 56 and starting the walk run 3 years ago, now I'm up to 5 mile runs -- but only 3 times a week ((or actually, sometimes 3 times in 10 days - depending on how the body feels)) - I do weight resistance training on the same schedule -- but definitely REST is key.-- so those 3 days of running ((a short fast 2.3 miler, and two - 5 "slow" milers)) do the trick -- my lungs can "outrun" my legs and knees now. -- I think your doctor has excellent advice !!
I'm 51 now and just started running/jogging. All of my workouts are on a treadmill ( for now ). For some reason I can walk faster and longer then I can jog. Walk at 4.3 mph for 2 plus hours. I can only do 20 min of jogging at 4.1. Is this odd ?
I would say that is completely normal when starting out. Running is a one legged exercise, only one foot is in contact with the ground at any one time. (Essential running is hoping from one leg to another). Walking is a two legged exercise, both feet are in contact with the ground when leg/foot change occurs. When you are just starting out and your jog is similar pace to your walk, this increase in energy and muscle power to maintain the jog will reduce the time you can maintain it in comparison to your walk. But as you run, over time your body will get stronger, fitter and more conditioning to running. The gap/difference between running and walking will become more noticeable 🏃♂️. Take it slow but keep it consistent and time will take care of the rest 🥳

This morning, for the first time in seemingly forever, I ran without trying to improve my pace or time or distance. I just ran to run. It was freeing.

I only lost 5mins overall compared to my running marathon pace due to being able to run faster for short bursts and then recovering(as well as letting the pain subside).

Knees can go beyond your toes, don't think about that too much.
Agree! 👍🙂
Just trying to start running. So far i jog say 100m then i do that backwards. Then on the way back i jog and walk.
Shout out Hannaford
Where is this filmed?

What part of Newfoundland (New Fun Land ) is this? I was born and raised in Burin :)
hey Dereck, this was taken at Quidi Vidi
thats it, Im not gonna take it anymore! Im gonna run, right now!!
go go go!

Coach Nate and Nora are working hard on the back end on some exciting projects and you will see them both soon.
@@TheRunExperience thank you so much for the update. So glad and looking forward to seeing them again.
I'm 51 now and just started running/jogging. All of my workouts are on a treadmill ( for now ). For some reason I can walk faster and longer then I can jog. Walk at 4.3 mph for 2 plus hours. I can only do 20 min of jogging at 4.1. Is this odd ?

When you are just starting out and your jog is similar pace to your walk, this increase in energy and muscle power to maintain the jog will reduce the time you can maintain it in comparison to your walk.
But as you run, over time your body will get stronger, fitter and more conditioning to running. The gap/difference between running and walking will become more noticeable 🏃♂️.

Go out and run till you vomit
Run till you collapse. That's what I learned from growing up in Ethiopia
