NEED MOTIVATION TO GO FOR A RUN? WATCH THIS! 

I just started jogging last Monday. I got back from a flight and realized I could barely buckle the seat belt on the plane. I’ve done a total of 7 jogs so far. I’m always super happy when I’m done each time. Only can do 16 min miles but it’s ok. I’ll get better.

Thanks man! This should help me when starting cross country tomorrow 😄

Great rule and another amazing video! I'm usually the "one big effort not very frequent" type.. now I feel motivated to get out and get at least a bit of running joy more often. :)

I started with a rule of 15 minutes running and now I already did 2 marathons and 2 triathlons. We appreciate and thank you for a great video and the outstanding motivation.

I have a motto that has served me well in getting out the door. “There is no such thing as a bad run”.

It's definitely helps when you're consistent in your running. I love the 10 min. rule. No matter how I feel. Beautiful scenery where you live.

I think the last time I commented on one of your videos I was rehabbing a knee injury (not caused by running). Today I ran for 40 minutes completely pain free.

i’m going for my first run in the morning, i’m a bit anxious for it but i believe i can do it! i just don’t want to run into anyone i know because i might look silly, but i’m going to give it a try!

This video came at the perfect time for me today! My ten minutes turned into 90. Such a great tip

I started running every single day a little over 2 years ago, with the goal of doing it for 1000 days straight, and if I didn't have the 10 minute rule, I would've quit a long time ago. It's saved me on days where I'm sick, injured, exhausted from work, don't have much time, or simply really don't feel like it. I rarely have to run for the "bare minimum" as I call it, but if I didn't have the 10 minute rule set from the start, I don't know if I would've made it through the first 100 days. 10 minutes is a very attainable goal, and just about anyone can fit it in!

I have a 30 minute rule and usually find I go further. I also have a dog and one thing to get me motivated is to put on my running clothes before I take her for her morning walk. That way when I get back I'm already dressed for a run and warmed up a bit, and I really have no excuse to not go out and run.

That’s a great rule, and a great video! Your trail shots are stunning. You’re so right, getting going is the hardest part and by 10 minutes in its usually feeling good. I run everyday too (but just once a day) and I use a 2 km minimum, if I’m not feeling it by 1 km out, I can turn around and head back, which is still 2 km further than I’d have got sitting on the couch

One pain point here in Taiwan is the heat and humidity.. It's probably 1 liter of sweat per 30mn of running 😂

I absolutely love your channel. I started running in March of this year and immediately fell in love, but unfortunately I experienced serious leg pains about 90% of the time. I had countless visits to the doctors and spent so much time on discussion forums, still with no answers. I can't describe the mental impact it hand on me, not being able to do something I fell in love with. Now 9 months later (last week) I decided to see a podiatrist on my own accord and was given ALL the answers to my leg pains. I have extremely flat feet along with serious muscle knotting in my calves. I'm getting custom insoles, proper shoes, and massage therapy within the next 2-4 weeks and I CANT WAIT TO GET BACK. Your channel has really helped me maintain motivation through these struggles and I thank you for that. Otherwise I may have given up and accepted my doctors recent opinion that "your body just isn't built for running...". Anyways, keep up the amazing content!

Everything is easier if you take it in smaller bites whether it is exercise or projects. I am 75 so I don’t set my total run/walk time and I do intervals where I walk at 4.2 miles per hour and then short bursts of 7 miles or 6 miles per hour. I usually end up exercising between 30 to 50 minutes depending on if I add cross fit exercise to the run/walk. It is so easy to just give yourself couch time but you feel so much better if you work out. I know this is for young people but it has good tips for any age.

so friggin true, if u overcome the hurdle of 'getting out' it's almost done. the distance after that is actually not that important. sometimes you reach new distances/paces sometimes you don't. but the feeling after having done something after you had to convince yourself is always the same satisfaction. Back then when I had a stressful job, where I could not tell the exact time of finishing i started to train in the early morning, and the positive effect of all the -mines were just great and made me make it through a stressful day.

I love your short motivating videos, how they come out suddenly in my recommendations and encourage me to stand up from a couch, where I had been watching mostly useless pieces on RU-vid. Thanks a lot!

The couch is a very formidable enemy.

Managed a 5 km run 🏃‍♀️ this morning after an absence of 2 / 3 months here in Texas, where it has at last cooled down.

Thanks mate Im hearing you I average around 100k a week Sometimes after a long day working the last thing i feel like doing is running On those days i start with a 1k walk and after that i usually run very slowly and most of the time i end up running a reasonable pace for atleast 5-10 km You are so right the biggest hurdle is putting on my running shoes and getting out the door 👍🙂🏃‍♂️

How long would you spend editing a video like this? I am so impressed by the quality of your videos! Also love this rule, definitely want to try it when I'm tired and don't feel like running, thanks!

I havent had motivation problem to run lately but today its -32 celcius and I dont feel like going out for a run...

beautiful music !

10 minute rule. I like it. Getting out that door is for sure the toughest part for me.

I did the same thing this morning, told myself "you can go back home if you don't want to continue", and now YT recommended your video :) its a great advice and it works.

I think this is great advice, and that it can be applied on so many things where we might have a mental threshold. This motivated me to head to university earlier than I had planned today (it reminded me that I enjoy it when I’m there even though I often don’t enjoy to pack my school things and lunch/dinner). And the walk/bike ride over there will often make me feel more energized. Once I leave uni. after a few hours of studying it feels so good because I’ve learned new things and lots of stress is removed because putting in work will have you stay on track. Tack för påminnelsen, Göran!🙂🌼

Hei Göran. Great video again. The opener made me laugh a lot. Thanks (as always) for those great ideas and for keepin me motivated :-)

I ran for ~40 minutes this morning, I was finished at about 7:40. In the Army it's typical to go for 40 minute runs like this. Finding motivation to run later in the day on your own is a different story but I'm trying to home back to what motivated me to run twice a day in the morning and evening before I joined the Army.

Try working civil construction and get home burnt out but still want that 1% out of your day …. FML

I'm lying in bed with the exact opposite problem, wanting to run but being to sick to go out. Just when I have a 5k race coming up. At least this will pass and then I'll be twice as motivated.

New here, I am trying to find something for me. Like running. I find that it will help me😊

Perfect. I use the 5k rule, then most of my runs turn into 10 to 15k.

Hy, i'm from Indonesia. I hope you could try and review our shoes, it's Outuseight hyperblast

That does not work for me. Lying to myself and say. It will only be 10 minutes is to me saying to myself, If you only gonna do 10 min you might just not do it at all.

Very good. I like the old Irish saying......" You carnt plough a field turning it over in your head " Give peace a chance i say and keep running.

Ive been running constantly for 4 years i have a huge burnout at this point. I ran 25km 3 weeks ago and since then i havent run at all just spinning. I do the opposite. One though and long run very infruently xd

Im so freaking sour today got the day off work and that always screws up my head. Id rather just be shackled to the grind 7 days a week. Its so much easier to go run when ive already gave 12 hours to the man

if i knew i had that view when i stepped outside to run, combined with that cooling weather i for sure would run everyday as well

If I stayed in location similar to yours then I would definitely go running twice a day

*Consistency* your correct that one small run every day is so much more efficient than one long run that won’t be consistent.

Thanks for sharing this with us! I try to put my running gear on the night before my runs, especially if it's cold outside! 🥶 It helps!

Everyone knows 10 minutes is how long it takes for the running demon to take over.

That's the number one reason I have no interest in Strava. I don't need people in my business.

ohh you are sooo cute! sending lot of love from Hungary

Till date, there here has not been a single run that i ever regretted stepping out of the door for.

Wow Greaaaat nice video making and "the Best tip"

i might actually just start with running everyday for atleast a km, i now only run 1-2 times a week, usually ending up with 1 time, but i think it is a cool thing to dedicate myself to and get more km in

Awesome. As someone who has started running again. I find myself doing short runs, but this has lead m to longer runs. I find that no matter which one I do (long or short), I always feel better.

Loved it… running through those leaves man… nice!

What camera do you use when running?

Great method. What camera do you use for the running clips? They come out so smooth!

Thanks for the 10 minute rule

I started running last year and didn't make it through the first winter, at first because of an injury, but then because the cold and wet weather was so uninspiring. So now I recently bought a basic spin bike to get through the worst winter days and it has been working out even better than I thought. I swapped out my mid-week semi long run for two 1-2h easy rides instead and I've ended up feeling more well rested, both physically and mentally (probably because of the welcome variation in training), feeling stronger and performing better on my runs while simultaneously increasing my weekly volume. I keep it very simple, no power meter or expensive zwift subscription, just ride by heart rate and take the opportunity to stream something I wouldn't normally get to watch with my partner :p Highly recommended!

Hehe, you're lucky to have to overcome just that 1 cm of threshold and to step only that one step to get outside. I first have to step down 150 steps from the ninth floor I currently live on :D Anyways, cool video again!

Beautiful house and nature around it 🌳

Bro that b roll is amazing!

How do you eat an elephant- one bite at a time-

I'm about to open the door! 😀

I aspire to two runs a day too.🌿

Good advice. Thanks

Love the production. A real inspiration thanks. What mic set up r u using pls?

I like the 2min rule, usually that's plenty....but tbh looking at where you live i can't see any reason not to want to get out and enjoy the outdoors its gorgeous.

Ciao from sicily 🇮🇹

Got my shoes on. Let’s go!

Really good content!

omg jag älskar dig

The intro is just nice

Around where do you live man ?? It’s beautiful

amazing video

This is my problem..My head is making up all kind of excuses not to go.. It's 6.32am and I'm up after you said does words. Going for my early morning run 🏃‍♀️.. Thanks 😊 New Subbie by the way 👋

Hva vil du anbefale? Alphafly eller Vaporfly

Great idea Göran, I the idea of 10 mins, as you say it'll get you out the door & more times than not you'll stay out longer 👍🏃

This is just what I needed, it's hard getting the life puzzle together. To reach my goals I know I have to run more but it's so hard to be consistent now during the cold, rainy and dark autumn here in Sweden. Your videos serve as a massive boost and are helping me get on top of the mental aspekts of the training. Tusind takk!

Thank you so much for this great advice!!!! I started the 10 minute rule and it works! I went from 2 / 3 days a week to 4 /5 days a week running. Even if it's for a few miles.

After a few years of ultra training and running, several buckles and many 50K+ finishes (from "1 mile" to 100 miles in about 14 months) - the last year or so has proven a little harder to find the motivation. This "silly" rule is phenomenal advice for anyone from the very beginner to a seasoned, even exhausted, veteran. Thanks for the little nudge - I'm gonna head out now... and at least get those 10 minutes in :)

I've been applying the same principle to my personal training for most of my life. Simply telling myself that all that I "demand of myself" is to go to the gym/pool/track/... and start my program/swim/run. And then if it doesn't "take off" it's OK to go home. And 99 times of 100 I get a really good workout. Maybe sometimes not with 100% intensity, and in rare cases I even "give in" and abandon the exercise. But in those cases I reckon that my body (and/or mind) needed the rest, and I still appreciate my effort, knowing that what ever little I did was far better for both my physical and mental health than just staying home would have been. So Yea it's basically "underpromise" in order to "fool yourself" to get started, and then to "overdeliver", by letting the enjoyment of moving and exerting yourself take over until You've actually finished Your program/swim/run... So "get to it" :) Best regards

00:50 congratulations! 😉

Great video, I really enjoyed the intro. All potential great things never happen because we never start and continue to build the momentum, and I like that you pointed out that this is a daily thing.

I just registered for my first ever half marathon in January 😅🙌🏼

This is a great rule! A majority of the time once you start you always want to go longer!

So true!!! Amazing video mate.

ok, im going...

Love the start of this video, so true!!!

Could this be any more simple? But could it be any more profound? Great video X

I'm using a different trick on me these days. I just promise myself to be allowed to give up the run anytime and go back home to the sofa. As you can guess, the same pont, you never give up and always stay for the run... ;) Thank for the video.

I love your 10 minute rule... but I REALLY love that you're kind enough to yourself to call it when you're still not feeling it after 10 minutes instead of forcing yourself further. It's easy to forget that running is supposed to make out lives BETTER, to add health and enjoyment. It's not healthy or enjoyable to force yourself to do something your mind and body truly aren't wanting to do. I'm going to try your 10 minute rule 5x a week, and if I'm not feeling it, I'll switch to a strength workout or yoga. Still better than melding with the sofa!

Another great, motivational video, thanks Goran! I would like to start more (daily) with these short runs, but I'm thinking how to warmup before? I was taught to warm up more the shorter the run is, and I feel it if I don't warmup properly before the run that's harder to get into it. Can anyone please share their experience with this? Thanks!

It seems that this feeling is not unique. I struggle at times just to get out. Thanks for this. I like this 10 minute rule . I will try it this week. And to run everyday with short distances. I love your channel.

This works very well.. another tip is making sure you have your running gear ready beforehand. If you have to look for your clothes and shoes you make it a lot harder.

Sometimes I feel like you

Excellent vlogs...always enjoy them Goran

Your videos are such good quality Göran! You make me smile. You give me hope. You make me wanna run. And run more! Thanks for all of that!

Thanks for sharing. I really want to try for this the next 30days to run everyday.

I am sold. Ran yesterday 6 km I said I was fine for another few days, but can't help myself cause I am already dressing up for a not so friendly weather outside. Rock on!

Love the channel, the fabulous scenery and your exuberance and enthusiasm 👍

Been running every day for 489 days now. Started doing it working from home early Covid and it's great on the dark parts of the year, going out during lunch, getting a run in and some sunlight as well :)

Beautiful scenery where you run! For me, weather certainly plays a big role in my resistance to run: recent heavy cold rains have made flood conditions, not so fun to run in and harder than running in snow. But, yes, generally the hardest part is "just show up" vs "just do it"!

Kul video, Göran! Har du noen tanker om VDOT-calculator til å planlegge intensitetssoner på løpingen?

You are a mind reader I need motivation. With all the rain and dark evenings here in Glasgow. Thanks man I'll use that 10minute rule from now on 👍
