    The slow breathing is very easy!!! I use my right foot. Every 2nd right foot strike I breathe out then count it. Ie.. 1,2,3,4,15 and I let it fully out. To change pace I increase cadence or stride length . It also totally distracts the mind. Before you know it, the run is over!

    Growing up kids are not shown how to run or walk. They create bad habits which cause improper form. There should be a class very young in schools, ie first grade or kindergarten, showing kids correct ways to run. GREAT VIDEO!

    Completely agree with your comments on the world champs. There should definitely be more weighting for qualifying spots for Pro division athletes! HYROX need to look at this I think. In the 40-44 age group we had 12 WC spots in the open vs only 2 in the PRO. Where is the incentive for people to do the Pro weights if they’re aiming for the world champs.

    Good points 👍 and I really liked the unbiased advice. Personally I stumbled on minimalist shoes during corona lookdown, when I was barefoot for days at home and finding my regular and work shoes hurting my feet afterwards. Long story short I ended up going for some pairs of Vivos, of course I did the stupid thing of trying running in them way too early. Also I found that my feet actually got wider after some months to the point that I can only fit the Africa line shoes. I want to start running again soon but I would also say these shoes have too little cushioning/stack height for running on hard surfaces. But it sure is frustrating to find good shoes.

    • @diazhp
      @diazhp Місяць тому

      I agree. If you like that format look into Altra Escalante Racer. They have a pretty decent compound in the sole without getting weird with stack height.

  • @Thrive-WP

    I literally can’t thank you enough. You saved my running! About a month ago, I finished the couch to 5k and have been running about 3x 5ks a week; however, I have been struggling with shin pain. Nothing major but a little tender, and I just felt like I was heavy on my feet all the time. You hear so much about a mid-foot stricking; I was so focused on not running on my heels and trying to get mid-foot that I didn’t realise I was still probably overstriding. I adopted your technique today, and although I felt a little odd and slow to start with, I soon got used to it. My run felt much better than many of my previous, and you helped me shave four and a half minutes off my 10k record to a sub 60 at 58:57, so thank you so so so so much. Edit: ok, after having a fantastic run, my calves are now killing me. From what I have read so far, this is due to forefoot stricking, which seems to be what this technique is. So now I am stuck again with an injury 😢

Cause really when you look at its definition, thats not really what hunter does because both components are working simultaneously, which is more suited to the term “ synergy training “. What do you think of that term as an alternative way to describe the likes of hunter?
