Running EP12

Another good week in the books of running this week for all the guys and girls taking part in the event next week. So we've just done another long run this morning, I think it was about 14k in total. So I think that puts me up to nearly 40k for the week, so it's a big week for me. Weather was fantastic as well, it was just right. We started at 7am, no rain, pretty sunny, couldn't have asked for a better start to the year. I'm about to start setting up and I was like, I haven't bought my camera, the one thing that I need. So I am filming this episode off my phone, I normally just use the phone as a second angle, I very rarely film the whole main angle on it, so I'm not too sure how it's going to look. I've done a couple of tests and it looks ok. So fingers crossed it looks alright, you're in for you guys watching this. And yeah we're just going to dive straight into today's episode, so again on the topic of running I thought it would be good to put together a video going over some key considerations for some of the best things that you can do to improve your overall running and help you run further and faster. But before we jump into today's episode, again if you are watching this and you aren't subscribed to the channel please could you do me a favour and click the subscribe button down below. It really helps us to grow as a channel, as a brand. And my next target is 100 subs so it would mean the world to me if you could hit that subscribe button and help us to get closer to that target. Thank you in advance. So yeah I think when it comes to running, running has become a hell of a lot more popular over the last what I want to say one to two years, a lot of people seem to be taking part in running events like every man and his dog seems to be running marathons at the minute, which is a great thing and like I say I've only been running for what month am I in now, June, so probably about just over a year. I started back end of May last year. So yeah I've only been running about a year which in the grand scheme of things is quite a short time like when you compare it to I've been doing weight training for like five years but I do think I have got quite good at running over a short space of time. I think the first thing I do want to say with running is that like everybody has to go through that really shit stage at the start when you're not conditioned for it and the first few weeks of running, I'm not going to say awful but they're not great because you can't run very far, it's difficult, you get out of breath quite easily, potentially you're going to have issues with shins aching, ankles, knees, all that sort of stuff. So the first few weeks of running aren't great, however if you can make it past that sticking point with running and once you do get more comfortable and more confident with it I just think there's nothing better than it to be fair. Like I say that feeling, especially after you've done it, like again all the guys that came with us this morning, two of them have never run more than 10k, two of them have never run more than 10km and we did 14 and the feeling that they got after doing that is amazing and I remember the feeling I got after doing my first half marathon, it's just such a good feeling once you get past that stage because I remember when I first went out to run and again I just used to go out the door and I just used to think I'm just going to do however much I think I can do before I feel like I need to stop, it's not really the right way to go about it and I'm sure there's probably a lot of people that watch this that are either just getting into running or you want to get into running but you don't know where to start and I don't want you to make the same mistakes that I did and just think I'm just going to go out and run and see how far I can get because you will get better, guaranteed, but there's probably better ways and more efficient ways that you can get better quicker if that makes sense so that's kind of what we're going to delve into today. So I think for me the biggest thing and a lot of people say this and it almost doesn't make sense at first and that is don't neglect your zone 2 slow paced runs and running within a certain heart rate zone as opposed to running for time or running for distance and again it can sound a bit backwards because you're thinking well hang on a minute, you're telling me if I run slower I'm not going to be able to get better and I'm not going to be able to get better and I'm not going to be able to get better and I'm not going to be able to get better and I'm not going to be able to get better and I'm
