This is the REAL key to INJURY FREE Running!

The sleep bit was a real game changer for me. It's wild how much of a difference it made for my training.

I am happy to say that I didn't have any injuries so far. I ran 360km last year which isn't that much, but starting running while weighing 120kg was no easy feat either.

Now, the most important technique to learn would be : how can you sleep 8+ hours 😅. Even if I'm really tired, go to bed early, don't set an alarm, etc... I still end up waking up 6 or 7 hours later. Sometimes fully rested but more often not

Coming from a weightlifting background into running I had to deal with the fact that I weighed more than must other runners and that made me more prone to some injuries. Dealing with plantar fasciitis while building a base was annoying but I was able to lower my intensity and keep running instead of completely stopping running(which is most of the advice I got). I made sure to pay close attention to my body to make sure I wasn't making my injuries worse and did exercises to strengthen the muscles around my foot. Now I'm pain free and easily running 40 miles per week. Thanks for your videos, they have given me a lot of knowledge to help manage my injuries and prevent any new ones from showing up!

I think cross training also has a place along with strength training. Mountain biking is a great way to build strength with low impact while still improving vo2/threshold. I use it as cross training for my trail running. + it's really fun.

Helt nydeli å se dine videoer! Din edruelighet ift å problematisere fysisk aktivitet vitner om en kunnskap og forståelse som eg har til gode å se hos andre formidlere, også innenfor fysioterapien som eg tilhører selv, takk! :D

I truly admire your videos for their relatability. When I watch them, everything just clicks into place. Recently, I injured myself, and in hindsight, I realize I should have been more mindful of effective load management. Despite that sneaky feeling telling me otherwise, I pushed through during my last run, and now not running for a week. Your content and advice have been invaluable. Thank you!

Strength training has helped me so much!

I became a dad 2 months ago, I keep hearing “sleeping is important” trust me, I believe you but when a baby is waking you up 2-4 times per night the amount of sleep needed to feel rested feels different. I’m still going out to run, my wife is very supportive of my journey. I loved the video friend!

Thank you for your work! Really helpful!

As always some great running tips.   Thankfully we've moved away from static stretching, run as hard as you can, and "no pain, no gain" mentality of old.

Hi, I am Italian , I thank you because with your video about knees you saved my life.❤❤

In my opinion the most important thing is aiming for perfect technique. So many runners I see are moving stiff and awkward. Combining this with to much load and orthopedic disaster is pre programmed. Good form and coordination are the heart of every sport. Technique Drills are the way to go for success. Check out the running drills of Chari Hawkins on YouTube and you will see what perfect running technique looks like and how to train for it 😎👍

Great video, thank you

I have a marathon in 4 days and i got achilles tendonitis during marathon buildup, it couldnt have come at worse time. Slowly treating it right now and still consider running the race but i dont think you realize how much this video helped me mentally in a place where im at right now. Not to even mention I had to find out on my own that stretching leads to even more problems, especially in the early stages of tendon injuries and actually strengthening muscles and tendons is the way to go. Thank you so much for the video.

good stuff! thanks for the video

completely agree. I started running a year ago and a good friend recommended I start gently and increase the load by 10%. I listened to him and ran up to 30 km without any injuries and I am very tall and heavy. I also sleep and recover a lot even my mind wants to run too much

As a runner and physio from Poland I agree 100% good job educating people. 👏🏽🤙🏽

Regarding flexibility, if anyone is experiencing reoccurring pain points, I would recommend going to a running focused physiotherapist. I had continuous lower back pain. The physio analyzed my running technique, gave me pointers in form and a simple stretching routine tailored to my body. Following their advise, and slow load management, I’m currently sitting around 50km/week pain free.

Really good video!
