There is so much talk among Endurance athletes on the importance of Zone 2 training. Where I am not really disputing the value of this approach to training influence, what I am saying is I have a better way, especially when the training is serving other athletic communities such as Hyrox or other functional fitness competitions. Give it a listen and you’ll find mo book Training the Dark Side by...

Coach Diaz Releases new book Winning Treadmill Workouts
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!
👀 what am i missing here? as the speed increased he started kicking back. 0:30 vs. 1:52
Tomorrow I have to try this! Thank you❤
So many videos on UA-cam. This is the clearest and most concise. Thanks
Sir. I tried. But I can't reduce my vertical oscillation
Interesting. I broke my 2 achilles. My running form has changed, it feel different. I will try this excercise.
What cadence was the metronome at?
Brilliant conversation guys! I learned a lot. 55 years old and getting fitter by the day. Thank you both so much!!
your arms aren't swinging the same angle, it is very weird. Look at that. it is no symetrical
and how do you do this NOT on a tredmil?
190bpm?
Sir can you share that bip sound
This is garbage.
Perfect video! Thanks for that!
Why don’t you use the technique on a beginner runner?
And THAT is the difference between big, puffy, useless bodybuilder muscles and functional muscles that can crush you. How would you beat this guy? You can't even run away from him.
That video trick is a great example of high quality feedback loops doing the work for us
who's the runner?
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.
Great video
I was literally shuffling my fee to the back and always felt my running just feel weird.
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.
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.
I've just found this video. OMG!!! It helped me a lot❤❤❤ should have found this years ago, but I'm glad I'm here at least.... I had such painful running sessions..almost gave up running... tried this technique yesterday and feeling like a new person. Thank you so much for sharing❤❤❤
Incredible system to develop this skill. Great stuff, thanks.
Amazing!!! Thank you!!
You just going to lead us to the edge of the cliff like that huh.........
I’m going to revisit this bit on Heat Block training just for you! Give me a bit of time to put it together.
inspired a lot. thanks
But this is running on treadmill..will this technique apply while running on road..coz road is not moving
Most effective off the treadmill.
Thanks!
Appreciate you my friend!
How many bpm?
180
@@diazhp thank you.
Love this
Finaally... hundreds of 15min videos of running coaches with 5 min of improper running technique, 10 seconds of correct running technique and 10 minutes of freaking zone 2 and heartbeating. Would give this 1 million likes if I could, thank you
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 😢
Jai hind
WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO!?!?! *communication lost*
i have to say this video was extremely needed for me, I always used to stomp while running, this is great.
Terrible sound
I wish I had a running coach when I was a teenager before I joined the Army. Would’ve been very helpful.
I've probably hit the hundreds of videos about running and form and everything and this is the first one I see explaining this. I always did the heel kicking, I haven't been injured but wow, this knowledge has to be shared
Knees go forward
I'd love to know the answer to this question :assuming 3 runners are running at 180, what are the typical differentiators between the fastest and the slowest?
Stride length earned by proper initiation with ground contact and associated force production.
@@diazhp thank you Sir
I've definitely hurt both of my knees in the past. Both achilles tendons too 😂. But, yeah, generally, that's not what happens!
Great video. Looking forward to part two!
Fascinating video. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to part 2…left us in a cliffhanger!
2 of the best at what they do!! Can’t wait to watch all of these.
You and hunter are so interesting together! Two of the best at what they do working cohesively to achieve the best!
Thank you! 🙏
@@diazhp no problem! One question I want to run by you. What do you think of the term “ hybrid training “ when it comes to people like hunter? 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? I also train weighted exercises and cardio together and the term hybrid actually annoys me abit, its easy to run in the morning and lift weights in the evening, putting them together is completely different..
@@M.C.R.SYNTRN call it what you like. Every time I turn around someone creates a new “buzz term.” I’m old school, I try and avoid stylish terms.
@@diazhp fair enough man, i suppose all that matters is the results, regardless of what you call it.. just seems to be everyone is a “hybrid athlete “ these days
@@M.C.R.SYNTRN actually.\, in my opinion there a lot of posers, they want to be recognized. Put in the work, win and nothing else matters.
Amazing video, I just got the hyrox project and it has blown my mind. Flow training is in full flow 😂🙌🏼
Great to hear!
Awesome! 💪😉Got few new amazing facts: Angle of foot takes 10-15 sec off pace and 1 liter of sweat gives extra 10 BPM. Thanks.👌😉Waiting for second part.💥😎
Thanks, 🙏
What a bullshit. Look at the “trainer”. He might have “run” to catch a bus for 50 meters. Very authentic…
There is always one… I guess it’s you.
