Started running during COVID. 4years later I still don't feel or think I'm a runner. A jogger yes, wantabe a triathlete age grouper. But no not a runner

👍🏻

Thank you so much for this! Most helpful info I’ve received on strides!

About the weight thematic, you always have to ask yourself, do you want to lose weight or do you want to lose fat?

5:45min/km is her Z2!!! That’s my goal 😅

Exercise is a celebration of what your body is capable of, not a punishment for something you ate. I try to move my body in ways that bring me joy as I know a) When I don't (or can't due to injury 😔) it effects my mental health, b) Movement is a privilege denied to so many, c) Seeing what my body is capable of after cancer treatment, with chronic pain and fatigue brings me a sense of pride and purpose. When I am injured I need to focus on what I can still do to keep me sane! It's always Me vs. Me at the end of the day and I love communities that encourage and lift each other up. Keep going, you've got this 💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪

Knee replacements and shin splints. Enjoy your run.

So you have a pool on your front lawn huh… cool

This is so incredibly reassuring and motivating. Thank you!

What’s the app you are using to compare your runs. I find Strava a little bit lacking when it comes to comparing over time

Great video! Would love a video on safety tips for runners but particularly for women. I am training for a marathon and have lots of safety protocols in place like personal alarm and live track that goes back to my husband but love hearing ideas on this 😊

One mistake was running when I had a depressive illness. To be fair I didn't know it was depression yet, It was my first time and it hadn't clicked that I was depressed. I was also doing a big run after not having run for a few months. It was the usual amount of discomfort and I felt great immediately afterwards, but in the days that followed all I could remember was how uncomfortable I had felt. Which wasn't like me. It put me off for more than a year.

I run at a comfortable pace to start with and then try to stick with it as I get half way through, 3 quarters through and it becomes less comfortable. Don't know how far, I'm fairly certain it's more than 100m though. I add distance to my run as the old routes get easier. I'm just running from my home down to the local shop and back again basically, but I'm hoping to get my route much longer than that.ñ

OK. I am back to running after a 3 year break and have completed 19 parkruns with 7 PBs out of the last 8 runs reducing my time from 34.19 to 29.21. The last run gives me an avg HR for the last 3K according to Strava (Fitbit Inspire 3 as the HR monitor) of 161. However I am 59 years old so accorrding to the unrealiable 220-age, my max HR should only be 159. I recently tried to do my first interval training - 0.5K slow, and 0.5K fast over a 5K distance, however after my 2 intial fast reps I was absolutely knackered and had to jog/walk the rest of the run. When I got back I found my max HR during my first interval had peaked at 188 - way above the Max HR I should have. So basically I am trying to confirm that if the Parkrun values give me a 161 value can I go with that for my calculations or is there something else I need to take into account. And if so what HR level do I need to keep to to finish any interval training. I have just bought a Polar H9 so will see what values this gives with my next run on Saturday. Thanks for all the content - now subscribed.

I have a different view of 'love yourself first'. For me it means you have to be happy with who you are today, have sufficient self-regard now to embark on a journey. You can't decide you're going to love yourself at the end of it or even at some point along it. You have to start by believing you have value already.

not comparing yourself with others is the best tip ive ever heard. when this lady of yours are out doing 5.40 easy pace or what it was, while i wouldn't be able to keep that speed up for long at all because it would be my zone 4 speed, it can take the motivation from anyone if you start comparing and thinking you never gonna get that good. whats matter if you are consistent and slowly beat yourself from week to week, because the only one you should be competing with, are yourself. i started slowly running 8 weeks ago quite overweight, but last 5 weeks ive dropped from 113.5kg down to 105.5 kg, so basicly down 8kg in only 5 weeks, witch is mindboggling to me. ive also increased my maf speed from 10:30/km down to around 9min/km in those 5 weeks aswel, so it certainly helps, and i feel like im improving rapidly. biggest change are probably in my diet tho, because ive cut way back on extra sugar stuff, and better at eating greens and other stuff with lower carbs.

I did my first marathon last year following a heart rate based training program. There was absolutely ZERO intention in changing my body. My goal was to finish the distance and learn to take it slow. Yet, after 16 weeks of training, I lost 10 kg (22 lbs). I guess the body adapted to what was needed. Finished the marathon in 4h 43 min

Number 4 hit home. I’ve been running long distance for 14 years, 10 years consistently. Never had an injury. 6 days ago I decide to skip 2 rest days and ran a half marathon, 15k, 5k, and another 15k back to back. That did it. The whizz and pop of my right calf significantly destroyed my ability, at least for now. Never had an injury, never stretched, never warmed up ever. My eyes are finally opened and I’ll never make that mistake again

As a former powerlifter and basketball player, I'm riddled with previous injuries; rotator cuff, acl tears ... etc. I approach running less and less about the physical body and more towards the mental body, especially since I have body dysmorphia and still see myself at 300 lbs in high school. I've had an incredibly lucky adult life but growing up in Foster Care, it was brutal. Never in a million years would I think I'd be where I am today; it was an absolute slog. Running to me, is a way that I can remind myself of that struggle and make me remember that I have the mental toughness to push forward, even if everything and everyone is telling me I can't.

I fell for the click bait title. I came to say that exact opening line. I'm not a normal shaped runner, but I love my ultras. I may not be fast, but i can go long...

Thank you! I started running last year and got runners friking knee 😖 almost give up, but I love it too much, so someone that says that is normal and to keep going and get strong is encouraging ❤ thanks!

Interesting phenomena where many runners gain weight. But little bit predictable. A mix of extra cortisol and poorly planned nutrition, despite the extra calories burned, can lead to some strange body types. These things need to be addressed as well. The solutions will be variable, but the literature is out there for people to read up on.

That final tip resonated with me… last year I was headed on the road to burnout, hit rock bottom and ended up being off work for 6 months. Not only off work but my running tanked as well and it was only when I’d had enough time to get my head round what had happened that slowly the running came back together, along with my self esteem and revised sense of priorities in life. Thanks for your channel, you guys speak a lot of sense. ❤

It's also important to cut vegetable oil, and margarine I use butter instead I learned that we are short of Omega 3 fatty acids, these are supplied with flaxseeds and chia seeds.

Very good advice. I smack on nuts, that is healthy fats. Breakfast is normally two fried eggs with kale or spinach and tomato, yogurt and fruit 400 Cal. 40 grams of protein. The next I replace the eggs with oatmeal with a few strawberries. Lunch is normally a salad with salmon or sardines with beans, kale, red beet, onion, tofu spiced with turmeric and pepper. An apple for dessert. After noon snack is normally a quarter cup of nuts. Dinner is a variation of chicken, quinoa, rice, carrots, asparagus, turkey with spaghetti, Salmon.

Very good advice! I started running this past February and now I ran 4 times 5K. I lost 9 pounds. I got plantar fasciitis and a few other muscle injuries. I got stronger. I run to be the healthiest I can be. That is my goal so that I can be a powerful witness for Jesus. Have a great day. God bless you all, from Toronto Canada.

2 month into running, body fat went from 20% to 13% saw 6 pack first time in my life. What 350km total mileage does for your body is amazing.

🙏 appreciate your videos! I struggle to grasp how on your long runs you manage the stop and go.. do you break along the runs, if so how long and how often? ❤

Your body being an instrument over an ornament is such a good one. I've run for 20 years, run 30 marathons and even now, I look at races pics and think ugh, I am so much fatter than I'd like to be... but then I also think running pics are like a hall of crazy mirrors! Keeping balanced and healthy with a holistic view of everything is so much better in the long run - literally! ❤

A fantastic compilation of personal stories! It's very inspiring.

Great video, very inspirational 👍

Meditations for runners! I do enjoy this style that you do

I’ve lost 45 kilos and since then, I have run 4 HM’s. Right now, I’m trying to run 8K everyday for 8 days. Only 2 more days until I reach my little goal 😊

Great Video!

I finally lost 9lbs After 5 month of running and dieting. I’m married with 3 children. Definitely 😂😂 so much more difficult to lose weight and progress these days compared to my younger days.

As a larger person with a bad knee, running will always be a little bit more challenging for me. And so I decided to spend more time in the gym to help me run better and injury-free. Over the years I have adopted the hybrid training lifestyle where I always do strength training along with endurance. Muscle mass and endurance don't tend to go along for most people, but it is something I am really enjoying as it allows me to shift focus at different time of the year.

Great video! I've been only running 9 years. I'm 66 and run well, have placed many times in 5k, 10k and half marathon races. But, I fall at least twice a year while running. This last fall, resulted in a black eye, banged up knee, fractured hand and sprained wrist & fingers. I believe I have been tripping myself up. My fear of falling & lack of confidence has hindered me from continuing my long runs. I need and enjoyed those long runs. I'm far from wanting to stop running. So, what can I do to prevent falling while running? Are there any exercises I could do or something to keep myself safe from falling? I appreciate any productive solution to my issue. Thank you 😊

Another great video and love the ensemble cast!

Watching from the States. Very confused about "PoundLand". Then the light bulb went off. Its like our dollar tree or dollar general. 😂😂 Pound land would mean something VERY different over here! LOL! Then my daughter and I tried to replace the word "dollar" with pound in all the variations...pound tree, pound general, family pound...LOL! Love your content! Getting back into running at 38 years old. Very inspired by what you all produce. Big thank you from the US!

I’ve never cared or remember what my race times are lol.

I like the "comparison is the thief of joy" comment. This will help me on my personal journey as I navigate through injuries and the mental anguish of the long run. Thanks

As I eat ice cream 🤣

the person in the video's thumbnail, the "big problem" w/ that is, it doesn't look the slightest bit like any runner's body i've been around.

Nice video. See ya in Chicago!

I've started running about 7 weeks ago. About as beginner as beginner gets. I've done a 5k in 31mins and felt very proud of myself. Now looking into aerobic training and its long term benefits I've started running SLOW. And the stats aren't as impressive and I think in order to stay completely in aerobic zone I should walk more ... So I've started my running journey, got the bug, only to realise I need to walk more and run slower than I can walk 😅

Love this video, so much positivity. Other people say I’m in great shape but I still have a negative self body image and this video reminded me that my body still does amazing things and I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. Thanks guys!

Beginner runner here 👋🏾 my pace is around 16:00 and i felt super discouraged at first, but videos like this reminded me to not compare myself to another runner

Ever thought about doing acting? I like the way you did this video.

at least try lifting 3x a week for a month before trying to transition from walking to running. Unless your under 40 then go bananas. Kidding!

Regarding comparison, I do like that I can see other 40+ women running sub-90 minutes for the half or sub-20 for 5k because what they can do informs what I think is possible. You’d call it inspiration but I am comparing myself to them, I am a 40+ woman, I want what these other awesome women can already do and I’m excited that it’s demonstrably achievable
