I like the way this clip ended. “That would be 60 bucks.”
Damn it!

Isn't the beauty of run the fact that you don't need a coach and anyone can do it?

In my experience, you will easily encounter an issue within the first 3 months of running yourself, that you did think about early enough. Also you easily miss your own mistakes (e.g. training intensity), because the training experience is very subjective. But of course it is rewarding to try out stuff yourself, when it works. I almost had no personal professional advice, but am still very much into it.
Part of the reason are such videos with good general advice that let me rethink my own habits and be a bit smarter about what i am doing. For example, recently I tried how it feels to run much slower, for lower training intensity. Until then I always tried to get all the energy out in every training session and if something was left over I sprinted the last meters. It was the best idea ever and it was inspired by online information. All on my own I always wanted to perform in every training. Now I want to improve my fitness and have fun running, so I can perform in some races or at some few harder trainings throughout the year. And running slowly really tought me a lot about the perception of my own running. Now I am much more in sync with my body, feeling the different levels of intensity at the different parts of my body (heart rate, breath, muscles, ankles). And I can enjoy running fast much better, since it is a special pleasure, not a constant plague. Within weeks I could crack my endurance record of the farthest I ever run in one go (which is not impressive, but a personal record).
So no advice is bad advice, but I don't think that it is necessary to have a trainer, even if you run multiple times per week and participate in some races.

It can be a beauty or a tragedy. All depends on how one understand their own body, the terrain they running, what they wear and how they run.

For the foot strike question. I always advise people getting into trail running that there is no set foot strike style as trail is always varied, always different from year to year, season to season. So I guess Simon is right that it is different from runner to runner. But at the same time its different for every runner depending on the terrain.
