"Every runner talks in miles" as a European I would like to politely disagree lol
As a Latin American, I would go with the Europeans. Every time someone talks in miles, my mind gets very confused 😅
There are a lot of European runners I follow who prefer to measure in miles
@@Jess-Rabbitdo they prefer to measure distances in miles or are they just converting for an international audience? 🤷♀️
As an Australian i stand with ya
Every runner talks in miles and mentioning 5k and 10k races multiple times
Shout out for being a really fit person who hasn’t lost sight of how to talk to true beginners to set them up for success with realistic expectations. I think a lot of people forget what it was like in the beginning and misgauge difficulty for those starting out.
You touched on the weight topic so sensitively and articulately and beautifully. This is such an important topic thank you!!!!
This is such a sigh of relief thank you. I know it’s so touchy and wanted to be honest but gentle to all those impacted. Thank you for saying that Jen 🩵
You are so wonderful! Thank you for doing this!!!😊
I used to be a strictly weight lifting and walking girly, but started to build up my running endurance the last 3 months and WOW. I love it. My first goal is to run a 5K without stopping (~ 30min). I’m not fast at all but idc, I love seeing the progress in my runs and especially in my health. My RHR dropped nearly 10 BPM since I started running. I feel so good.
I was the same way! I wanted to build up my strength and do my daily walks. I have now added I'm a few runs a week and I'm a slow runner but I'm just enjoying running. Good luck on the 5k, you can do it!
Me three lol. I still run walk run but did my first 5k this month and am now training for a 10k while on a new mesocycle. You can do it and you'll feel great!
Oh my gosh same!! Only on week 3 but seeing my RHR drop has been the most gratifying thing yet. Sleeping better on days I run vs days I rest/weightlift, too. I have a 1.5mi goal time of 15 min and my starting is WAY slow but I'm so enjoying the side effects I didn't expect!
Curious how you're doing now!
I run ultras, marathons and all distances and for me the most important thing for anyone in the Thick Thighs club like me is: Biker shorts for the win! I cant go more than 5km without chaffing. i wish i could wear the super short flowy shorts Keltie wears but no antichaff cream/talcum powder etc saves me. The biker shorts are comfy AF, never ride up and ASOS do them super cheap!
Any brands you recommend??
@@michelleqiu4708 yes the ASOS own brand for sports wear, I think it’s called F405 but if not you can filter on the website by ‘own brand’
Walmart has avia shorts that have bike shorts.
I'm tall so I have to make sure they are long enough . I usually always size up.
biker shorts are a game changer
It's taken yeeears of running for me to embrace my "strong" thighs. I mostly trail run now, including ultras, so those thighs get me up the hills. Bless them!
Bike shorts are definitely the go to for us strong thigh gals! Or tights, even in the Australian summer.
I've been running since... I think I was 12? Making it almost 20 years of running! And honestly, running transformed my life.
I started out as a chubbier kid who just wanted to up her fitness, so took up running one summer... came back to school pretty fit, joined the school track & field club, then did my first 10K race!
Since I graduated high school, I've moved between 5-6 countries/cities, and running has always been the one constant thing in my life. Whenever I'd move to a new city, I'd use running to explore the area, and stay fit.
Running for me was an opportunity to unwind, to get time for myself, to clear my head from thoughts... or the opposite, to figure out answers to big questions.
Since moving to Finland 2 years ago, I started joining more races, and hitting personal bests in my 5k, 10k, and now, more recently I ran my first half marathon race, finishing in under 2 hours!
Running is beautiful, because it's brought both discipline and a lot of freedom into my life. It's awesome to see a resurgence in interest for running, and I'm excited for all the people finding running for themselves!
It’s SOOO important that you’re talking about the fact that running isn’t for weight loss. Running is a high intensity sport and hormonally for a lot of women it can actually put you back in your weight loss journey. For me, it’s all about my mental health - I LOVE running but it gives me hives and causes me to retain weight as compared to walking or low-intensity exercise. I’m not willing to trade it but I’m trying to figure out ways to keep it in my routine without jeopardizing my health journey. Thanks Keltie 🙏
Would love to hear more about this
Running tip: always encourage those around you! Even if you are faster, or feeling fresher. Give a thumbs up, tell the person who is struggling that “you look strong! Keep it up!” It’s amazing how much that helps them and keeps the community loving and strong together.
Nah, I would smoke them and leave them in the dust 😂
I don't run and don't want to start, but i watched the whole video because Keltie is just so good at keeping things entertaining while being educational. Thanks for another amazing video!
I’m so flattered thank you 🥹🩵
I'm a lifelong hater of running but I love watching Keltie talk about fitness lmao
I’m patting myself on the back for this one HAHHAHAHAH
I’m patting myself on the back for this one HAHHAHAHAH
Glad I’m not the only one😂👌🏼
Me for real 😂😂😂 I’m just now getting serious into fitness, but feel I’ll always hate running. But watching Keltie talk about running/fitness? Love it 😂
I was like this, and I still don't really understand why I suddenly decided to try it out, but I found Keltie's channel around the same time. She's really helped with keeping focus.
I’m a 30 year old male who relatively recently got into running after years of weight training.
I never focused on cardio and instead just did it as an afterthought. Over the past few months I’ve been spending less time in the gym and more time running.
The mental benefits and sense of freedom that a run gives are second to none. Maybe it’s just the change in routine, but I think there is more to it than this.
It has helped me become more toned, improved my mental health and made me fall in love with training again, instead of just doing it for routines sake.
I’m now able to regularly run 10K and have signed up to my first official 10K event in June.
This is a great video. Keep up the content. Very informative whether male or female.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! Literally exactly how I feel about running, the sense of freedom and mentally benefits is what made me fall in love with it
Thank you so much for you kind words. Good luck on your 10k!
I love listening to a book while running, especially if the character has to undergo some kind of training. It feels like I’m working alongside them and running allows me to eat through a ton of books.
Great tip. What are some of your favorites? I loved Born to Run on audio
The weight issue is spot on - all the signals running sends to your body are counter to weight loss. There's also a flip side - trying to lose weight through a nutrition plan *while-at-the-same-time* trying to achieve running performance goals is just a recipe for contradictory messaging - you will not fuel properly and you'll just feel terrible and exhausted. I've learned the hard way that you have to choose one or the other at a time. For myself, moving from 10km races to half marathons is going to require some weight loss, which can only be achieved by lowering my running performance goals for the six months that I'm giving myself to lose the weight, and then I'll start half marathon training again. I'm still running 3x a week, I am just not pushing myself to achieve unrealistic speed or distance goals.
thank you! i just got back from a 5 mile run!!! two months ago i couldn’t run 2 miles but now i’m consistently running 5 every saturday! i feel so good now
Are you at 7 miles now?

running has definitely helped my change my mindset towards food. like you said, eat to run rather than run to eat. i used to think of food as a reward for exercising. that didn't help me much and i started to sort of restrict myself on days i felt that i didn't exercise "enough." i really felt that when i started running. felt weak and tired all the time, until i changed my mindset towards food.
I’m training for a 5k for the first time and one thing that helps is to run with my (midsize) dog. Seeing how happy she gets on the runs makes me want to continue even if I’m tired and my legs are hurting
As a new and slower runner, I found not only are other not judging you, they ENCOIR you. I can’t believe how many times a faster runner told me “you’re doing great” or “keep at it, you got this” as they passed me.
I've ran 8 halfs and when I'm done with my races, I go and cheer on the people coming in after me!
That makes me happy. I’ve just started jogging and my distance now is just 2,8 km and I’m gonna increase it a little bit every week. I’ve always been scared of people judging me but truly I need to learn to be happy that I am moving my body. It’s just hard to remember sometimes!
Same. 🥰 that’s what I loved about the 2 races I’ve done so far (both 5ks)
i am running in a popular running round and i see runner and joggers everyday and i am a slow jogger but they always hype me up and it’s very sweet even thought it’s kinda awkward but it does help a lot
thank you for talking about the weight gain/muscle loss aspect! When I first started running in 2016 I gained weight when I trained for my first half marathon and wish I knew that was even a thing.
I just ran my first 5k! Thanks for opening me up to the idea of running. Im told the running community can be so fun and id love to get into it. Its hard being the back of the pack. But i did it and ill try it again.
I’m a big chested runner. Big chested sports bras are pricey! I also have worn two low compression sports bras at the same time for a nice layered look and a totally customizable compression feel.
Ugh such a down side that the high performance one are so pricey 🥲 hate that for you!! Genius idea with the double up
I have to try this!! The bras I *do* own for running have me feeling like Kim K at the Met Gala this year 🤣⌛️
@@lexyjo hahaha yes exactly! another thing you can do is buy your normal size in bra 1, then layer with a bra that's 1 size bigger. I hated the way the high compression bras looked (matronly) so I've been doing some sort of layering thing for years
@@rachaelpracht this is revolutionary 🤯🤯🤯
Try the Panache underwire sports bra. It’s literally the most comfortable and supportive thing available. The underwire is wrapped in foam of some type, and it goes up to J cup. Expensive but will last you years with proper care 😊
i'm doing a half marathon as my first race 🥴🤩 kinda nervous, kinda hyped... this just comes at the right time 🏃🏻♀️💨
YOUR CONTENT THO 😮💨
Your channel is literally such a gamechanger when it comes to health & wellness! 1000/10! 🥹❤️
I really appreciate the coverage of topics in this video, and as a guy, really appreciate your perspective as a woman. Always great to learn, and lots of great teaching here. Thank you so much.
I don’t know how you knew I needed this little push in beginning my running/jogging journey. But thank you for the great video Keltie!! ❤
You’re so welcome kellz, love that my video can be a part of your running journey 🩵
I highly recommend the beats solo3 they stay on and don pull out your hair for headphones
As someone who is slowly getting into running/higher intensity cardio, this is great information! I will be saving this video to rewatch later ❤
Hope this video helps you!! Great job getting into your running/high intensity cardio era 🩵 love this for you
@@KeltieOConnor it absolutely will! Thanks!
grateful for this video!! just picked up running last summer after graduating college as someone who used to both hate and fear running. i now love it and am training for a half marathon in the fall :D
Just ran my first half marathon today, definitely an event im going to remember. The atmosphere, the endorphins, feeling proud of myself.🎉
Now watching your video as a reward 😊
Running a half marathon on the 26th of May. I’m am ready and so excited! Thanks for sharing all your experiences😊
Hey Keltie, this has ben super helpful and transparent for me as someone returning to running after a long stint off. I used to run lots and did a couple of 10ks but haven't done any training or events for 5 years. Fast forward to now I'm going through a bit of a rough patch and signed myself up to a 10k to give me a goal to focus on. I will add, that i have a mild form of cerebral palsy so training has looked totally different to what you'd typically imagine a runner to do ( fewer long runs, more mobility etc.). Your videos have been like a check point every week regardless of the subject to think about how to approach my fitness and running goals.
I especially appreciate that you don't demonise peoples food choices for training ( candy before a run lol) and in short appear more 'real talk' than most influencers. My 10k is this Saturday so maybe I'll update here or on this weeks video how I got on?
So I somehow missed this video last week and only saw it AFTER my first run back after a few long years off from running. Perfect timing. So positive, so full of knowledge and as always you are a total vibe. Thank you!
💓love your perspective on 'health'.
I like to go on a run before we go out to dinner somewhere, because it makes me soooo hungry, then I can have a starter, a big dinner (and a few bites of whatever my boyfriend ordered) and dessert, and still feel physically really good after devouring a small mountain of food.
Definitely started running to lose weight - didn't work at all - but ended up loving life a lot more.
One of my favourite videos of yours Keltie (and I love most of them)! Very informative and enjoyable. You are such an inspirational content creator. Keep it up girl!
This is a great video and as someone who’s currently starting to enjoy running once a week ( I play club sports in Europe so I only do one session in the on season) I would like to give some recommendations. I am more curvy than Keltie so if you have thicker thighs you might like it: the lulu align 10/15 inch shorts, the sit perfectly for me, don’t ride up and reduce cheffing. Also the high impact energy bra from lulu (adjustable) is so great, you’re girls will not move (which I like). Invest in a stick that reduces cheffing and put that on every where: where you’re bra straps are, on you’re thighs, under arms, in the elbows (this one is a game changer for me) etc. Third: I just recently got a running vest and love it, I usually cannot go further than 5k as I was getting so thirsty and got headaches. Get a running vest you can put water in, you’re key, some cash, you’re phone… I love it.
I am also starting to do the Natasha Oceane hybrid program during my off season (it’s not the full 12 weeks but I’ll do it for eight). I like it a lot as you can pick what you’re goal is, if you want to do more weights or running and she includes running specific exercises that also help me with my club sport.
After a rough 1/2 marathon last year after the passing of my grandmother, I've been completely out of running and this was exactly what I needed before I ease back in. Thank you for all your tips! Your videos are always so motivating 🤍
I have never been a runner but want to build a healthy habit. I just did five minutes without stopping, and it was terrific. I am mentally and physically training for a first-stop kilometer. It might not be much, but I'm very excited. Wish me luck!!!!
I did my first 5k race with my spin gfs in April and it was an absolute blast, signed up for another in June and am doing a half with my brothers in sept! I used to have panic attacks over track and field as a kid and now I’m casually running 11k cause the suns out. I feel like runnings made me a happier person 100%
this is absolutely incredible and perfect for someone either just getting started or a seasoned runner needing some tips. you feel so approachable and helpful!
18:30 I love that analogy for long run/raceday and game day/championship! So true and a great way to approach those runs.
I have to say thank you for this I’m looking for just some beginner running advice and I had to close like three videos before this that just made me feel so bad and felt so out of tune with where I’m at as an actual beginner! This video actually felt helpful being specific enough about times and frequency and types of runs without being over ambitious or intimidating, so thank you for being realistic and not scaring me away
I try to avoid your content because we have nothing in common but you are so interesting and intelligent, topically, that you're a favorite. Loved the Sweden v Canada post.
I’m a fairly seasoned runner but there is always something we need to be reminded of. Thanks Kellie
can we please stop and appreciate the quality of Keltie’s content????? Thank you queen!!👏🏼
SO cool bumping into you just in the streets the other day, that was UNREAL!❤❤🎉🎉
Half-Marathon training first timer!
Definitely learning to let go of my ego and when Nike Run Club doesn't track my run I shed a tear but this made me feel better. It 100% still counts.
I totally relate to being humbled by NRC not logging my run, especially a long/hard run. I'm using it for my first half-marathon training right now. Good luck with your race! 🏁🏃♀️
Every beginner runner needs to watch this video! So many things I wish I knew in the beginning.
This is perfect I’m literally about to leave for a run!
Have a great run Ellie!! 🤍
Just got back from a walk/run.this is great information:) doing a half marathon tomorrow:))
Have a fabulous run Ellie:)
I saw someone say that race day is the celebration that you trained and got there and that changed my mindset a ton
The section on weight loss/ weight gain was beautifully done Keltie. Everyone who would like to begin running should listen to this advice. I have been running for many years now, and I definitely eat so I can run and that normally means eating super clean to maintain a comfortable running weight and enough to get energy and nutrients but not to end up with an upset stomach after longer runs or speed workouts. Thanks for the video.
I remember when I was training for my first half marathon, a friend invited me to a "Eat everything out of our Fridge" Party because they were moving. I was in my longer mileage by then and I respectfully declined because A) I didn't know what she had in her fridge. B) I didn't want to risk a bathroom emergency during my long run. My friend kept pushing saying, "Oh you will just burn everything off." I said, "That's not how it works."
My Brooklyn Half people, let’s get it next Saturday!
So this might just be my area thing but after every organized run event they have a cooler full of beer! A couple of the races even had shots of bayou rum at water stations you can choose to have or not. So 1000% can understand the beauty which is that first taste of the bubbles after a run! Fantastic information as always and currently petting my puppers now!!!
I love running. I run about 14 miles a week and I Already have run a 10k and a 5k this year! I love this video ( although a little long) you shed light on something so important… the fact that a run doesn’t always need to be your best, your hardest, or a PR. I cannot tell you the last time I didn’t run with my watch.. you got me thinking I may need to bring back the reason I fell in love with running… THE FREEDOM however lately I’ve created so many “musts” and obsessions around my runs I think I stole my own freedom away
Thank you for this reminder!!!
As someone who has run fairly consistently since I was 15 (I’m now 40), and been both petite/small breasted and heavy and large breasted(178 lbs after giving birth and I’m 5’4”), I have some experience and input on running heavy, boob bounce as well as running too much with not enough muscle tone/weight lifting.
First off: the best “sports bra” for big Ol’ boobies is not one but 2 bras. Wear a comfortable full coverage regular 2 cup bra and a fitted but comfortable full coverage wide strap sports bra over it (extra points for one that zips in the front so you don’t have to strain your neck putting it on). The sports bra will hold the cups in place and the cups will hold the boobies in place without bounce or suffocation. Took many years for me to figure that out. They tried to make built in combo units at VS back in the day, don’t know if they still do, but they sucked and they were too tight or too loose and the wires pinched. Go the 2 bra route. More laundry, less pain, less bounce, more air and ease of breathing.
Second: About heaviness: I want just heavy - I have heavy friends that run and nothing bounces - they’re solid. When I was heavy, I would take a few steps into running, and all my flesh would lift up and go airborne and then come crashing down and slam into the earth, bounce back up and hit me in the face. It was not just uncomfortable, but quite painful and embarrassing. Thankfully I was single and in no hurry or pressure to be gorgeous, so I laughed about it and gave myself grace and took it slow. I realized I needed the equivalent of an entire body bra. I got some high wasted breathable spanx-style running pants, I wore multiple bras and a fitted running tank with a built in bra over my double brai mentioned earlier. Not super comfortable, but better my whole body being one huge bouncing boob. I also couldn’t run as far because it felt so heavy, so I didn’t haven’t to wear it long. I’d run the equivalent of two of my neighbors yards, probably like 100 meters, and then walk. Then I’d do it again. Maybe five times, turn around and walk home. Then I’d go a little farther the next week. I never pressured myself to hurry and lose weight so it took about 18 months too get back down to 120lbs, and that’s okay. The important part was enjoying it enough to keep doing it, good music, my sister would go with me and we would laugh, feeling healthy and patient.
Lastly, I’m tiny, bony, and 40 now. If I try to just get back into running without a warmup phase and intermixing resistance training, everything doesn’t just hurt, and straight up stops working. Please, ladies, even if it’s just twice a week, lift some weights, core workouts like Pilates, and do some lunges and deadlifts and overhead presses or modified pushups and dips. Your bones and joints will thank you. Your back and neck absolutely cannot take constant pummeling and jarring impact without some bracing muscle to girdle/corset them in place, and your knees and ankles and hips will straight up quit. Love your bodies, love yourselves!
I read all of this, and wanted to say I appreciate your viewpoints and feedback. I don't run (yet?), but this comment has given me a lot to consider if and when I start.
Thanks 😊 ❤
It was a real struggle for me to get these long runs in on the weekend. Hated running in circles or through the city. But since I started to invest the extra time to get out of the city into nature its a blast every week! 1-2h into nature, a nice 2-3h roundtrip (komot) somewhere with trees, fields, small mountains,... and then 1-2h back. Game changer.. I believe you call it trail running 😅❤
Thank you so much, Keltie. Loved the long video so much. I am so happy there are people like you out there educating us in an honest way. ❤
A video about fitness/running watches would be awesome!
THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. I MEAN YOU LITERALLY SUPPLEMENTED EVERY NOOK & CRANY OF MY BRAIN WITH INFORMATION. MY FIRST HALF MARATHON IS TOMORROW :) tysm ✨
The more you weigh the bigger the impact on your joints. That doesnt mean, that bigger people shouldnt run but use the right footwear. Weightgain when running could also be fluidretention because of inflammation. Great vid Keltie.
I love when you say that in swimming your pressured to be lean, and especially women, i can relate to that so much as a female swimmer i am skinny but its like im always trying to smaller, love ur videos!❤
I also just keep adding to my long run. I had to take it easy this week because i hurt my ankles a lil bit. On my way to my first half. I started running in march, and your videos are so helpful
And I just got to the end where you said to mention it. My first half marathon is Nov 17. It wad gonna be a 10k, but I passed 6.2 miles on my long runs a month ago. I'm up to 8.5 miles/13kish on my long runs.
Omg thank you for mentionning The Running Room! I have several issues wih my feet and haven’t had food experiences with podiatry when it comes to help finding the right shoes or even inserts. Really good to know there’s a place that personalizes the shoe suggestions!
Perfect timing video, I signed up for a marathon on a whim a few days ago, I started running in January and overdid it and haven't run since March 😅 I'm super excited to get back into it and train but it's also pretty scary
I actually gained 2kg throughout my peak marathon training - but it helped me push my body thorugh a f*** marathon, so keep up🙌
I have been loving the couch to 5k app so far. I’m already noticing that my running intervals are more enjoyable after doing about 8 of the run days (across 2 weeks). As a complete beginner gym and yoga girlie I highly recommend it
Did my first half marathon this November. I'm so glad I invited friends to do it with me. Accountability buddies saved me
I've been a runner for 10-15 years and the only time I have been super fit in that time is when I was also lifting weights consistently --- I don't really think endurance sports are great for weight loss, they're great for heart and lung health though!
Yes exactly! I love the idea of viewing running as heart & lung health :)
i LOVED this video keltie!! I currently do boxing/HIIT training and started my running journey in beginning of March of this year. I was slowly upping my mileage over the last two months (my highest was 5.5 miles, which was crazy to accomplish as someone who hasn't run consistently for years) and started seeing improvements on my speed and pace which was super exciting. But, one day I don't think I stretched enough, tried some new shoes, and ultimately injured myself on the back of my left knee. I'm a little nervous to get back into running after getting that injury but I'm taking this video as a sign to get back to it! This was a really helpful video and will definitely use it going forward, hoping to sign up for my first 10k in the coming months 😊
Love this video raw and real about the dark side of physical activity running, biking, weightlifting, nutrition etc…😊 everything in moderation!🙏
I get more out of my workouts when I'm not on a treadmill (looking at numbers and finding a logical stopping point) but when I'm running on a track or something. I focus on how I feel, start/stop running in the shade, walk half a lap and run half a lap, etc. With exercise induced asthma, running hasn't been a problem with the run half walk half a lap option.
Podcasts or music is a non-negotiable. It depends on the day and activity.
My favorite sports bra ever are the Anita brand bras and they have some of those odd sizes you won't always find in stores.
For bigger chested people shock absorber is a good recommendation as well! They are insanely good at, as the name suggests, absorbing impact and holding everything in place!
Yea....not a runner but I'm here for Keltie 😊❤
i'd love a video about deep core development and improving your balance because for example peter attia said that thats one of the mots important factors in longevity
When I was younger I was a 32DDD and I needed industrial strength compression, ten years later (post-reduction)I’m starting to run again at a 34b, the bras are COMPLETELY different
Could you do a video on all of your mobility exercises? LOve your channel
What a comprehensive video👏
I started rubbing at 43 after a lifetime of believing I hated running. I now run for fun about 3 times a week😂 Got a 10k next Monday and I'm not going for any Pars just want to enjoy the race day atmosphere 🎉
I'm so glad that you discussed that some sports are weight dependent AND that sometimes it's more of a chicken/egg type situation.
I'm a rock climber and have been climbing for the last two years. I've lost a ton of weight in the last year and everyone thinks it's because I was climbing and "working out" but in reality my first year I spent climbing the hardest I've ever climbed (in terms of effort) and in the last year I've started slowly trying to lose weight FOR CLIMBING. About 2 pounds a month cause I like food way too much to go faster than that and be successful. Everyone thinks I'm losing weight because of climbing but the truth is I'm motivated to lose weight to climb harder. This is a super slippery slope in the climbing community and EDs are somewhat prevalent in the sport BUT I like to think that I'm doing it slow and steady (and I had some weight to lose to begin with)
But I truly went a year of doing my sport without losing a pound. I think climbing is not a great sport for trying to lose weight, besides the fact that it motivated me to do so but everyone not involved wants me to share the secret of my weight loss when there is no secret lol
Absolutely love this video, Keltie! It gives me a boost of energy 💪🏻
Thank you Alena 🩵
I ran my first 5K last weekend - it was part of a big marathon weekend here, so lots of other runners. It was a blast, though I started way too fast (I told myself not to do it, but it happened anyway). I have another 5K on July 4th, a 7K end of August, and a 10K in November. I like being signed up for races, so I have goals to work towards and things to look forward to. I started running as a way to better maintain my weight and hopefully lose some, but fell in love with it. I now just run for its own sake. I've also found my body vastly prefers not running on back to back days - every other day works much better for me.
For large chested women you need to get a sports bra that comes in different cup sizes. I've fluctuated from a 32D to a 32I cup (US sizes), when I get to about a G cup or so I either need to wear 2 unsupportive 'normal' sports bras or one that has cups. If I'm wearing the sports bra with proper cups, no pain. If I double up on the 'normal' sports bras then I still get some pain, but not as bad as single sports bra (that worked fine for me as an F cup).
that first beer after a run really hits the spot, i agree
As a new “runner”, I walk a lot 😂, I’ve been using my heart rate as a progress motivator instead of by distance or time. I like to see how long in TOTAL my heart rate stays in zones 2-4 during my runs. My goal is never zone 5 if I hit zone 5 that’s great but I never aim it. I found watching the total length of times increase in those zones super motivating it shows me that even if I’m not at x distance, time, etc. my body & cardiovascular system are improving and getting stronger. I also felt like those improvements showed fairly immediately too.
I am a total newbie in running and so far I can agree with Keltie about running shoes. Please don’t buy shoes just based on the looks. Go to the running specific store and get a proffesional, not just a sales assistant, to help you decide. I wanted to ge Hoka Bondi, but went to a running store and tried bunch of shoes on that could match my needs (i didn’t get a foot asessment). As the guy said, a new runner needs a work horse shoe to get a bunch of kilometers in, they need to be comfortable for longer periods of time. Not the ones that look good or race shoes that have plates in them, but a shoe that you will be happy to put on and run consistently. After trying on some 10 pairs I ended up with Asics Kayano, supportive yet cushioned, with space for my big toe. If I bought some random shoes off the internet, i’d give up on running after the first kilometer.
I started with walking 3-4 miles 6 days a week about 8 months ago and today I decided to just try running to get my heart rate up and I was able to run my first 3 miles without stopping. This video couldn’t have come at a better time in my life! (I’m 27 and I’m either having another baby or training for a marathon at this point 😂)
I just ran my first half marathon. The rest of the year will be silly lil 5ks and 10ks for me 🫶🏼 I’m even signed up for a random one mile race.
Not me running my first 13k today around Stanley Park guetting called out by you for running too far for my level of fitness 😂 oh well, that stupid ego of mine 🤷🏽♀️ this was a great video, I will try my best to adhere to your tips and to slow my ego down a bit!
love this video!! thank you for being so inspiring and honest! that’s why I love your channel!! you are the best💗💗
I am preparing for my first run, 5K for the end of June. Now, I can run for the entire 5K without walking in between; however, in the beginning, I had a running playlist that I had run songs and walk songs. Walking for some of the songs (or half a song) and running for the others. That helped me a lot
I needed this! Perfect timing. I'm a new runner and am running my first HM in Oct. and first marathon in December. Literally just started and I'm scared 😳
I’m training for my second sprint triathlon! I finally hired a coach and realized how much I had been overtraining and under fueling! Who would have thought that rest and food would make a difference!
I gained 3 kg while training for my first marathon. It‘s hard to see the number on the scale BUT I‘m faster and running longer distances than ever before. So I think my body knows what she is doing.
Thanks for this keltie! Adding a follow up to hair washing... As a wavy hair girly , some may understand wanting to reignite those curls, so you can also just run water through your hair. I have thick hair and need to at least do this. I Rinse out the sweat that accumulates and style the hair for the day :D
She’s my hero fr
I just did a 5K and set a PR (shaved off almost 5 minutes) and now am thinking of signing up for a 10K so I really appreciate this video!
I am a newer runner and this was very helpful, thank you Keltie.
I do have a few questions.
1. What is your Strava user name? I love using Strava and would love to follow you.
2. Can you upload your TikTok running shoe video on RUclips? I do not have TikTok and would love to know your opinion on shoes in more detail.
3. Do you have any RUclips channels you suggest we check out for running form? or do you have suggestions on how to work on your form? I feel as though my running form is more like small dragging steps or I am planting my feet incorrectly because I get shin splints or my calves lock up. (I do make sure to drink electrolytes and fuel properly so I think its more my form and not nutrition.)
4. Stretching or recovery video more detailed - would love to see how you recover or stretch after your runs.
Thank you again I love your videos and I LOVE how you share other resources and research you have found.
Just in case anyone's in the same boat - My podiatrist told me that Nike, Adidas, etc. are all terrible shoes if you have tight muscles in your legs (or experiencing knee, feet or ankle issues + I'm also post partum!) and for good support she recommended Brooks, Hoka, Vitasole, Vionic and Scholl!
I am running for a while, not to win races or be faster than others, just to keep my mental health, because you cannot run from your problems but trying to do it changes perspective and forces me to think about them instead of avoiding them (A weirdo that cannot listen to music while running here!)
I love to run with my friends and they usually run sooo fast, like really fast but are okay to slow down for me and then they are surprised that they actually enjoyed it? Did not need to stop completely to just breath? Don't feel like their legs are giving out... Just it's valid to run slowly and enjoy it. As you said: put the ego aside
If you are starting to run, take a step test so that you can buy the right footwear for your type of gait (pronator, supranator or neutral).
In stores specialized in sports tennis, they sell them. As a marathon runner, knowing your gait type, to have the right footwear, makes ALL the difference.
Adding a note for anyone using Strava instead of a running watch-
It has to be on your person (pocket, vest, etc) and does not measure properly if it is sitting in a jogging stroller or other external apparatus.
Walmart has excellent gear as well. I’ve had a pair of cropped leggings for almost five years. Got rid of them once I had to move to a smaller size
