This is what happens to your body when you start RUNNING | Running Benefits 

I started c25k in October 2018. It's the best exercise I've ever did and I'm still doing. It shows that if you've got the right plan in place . Running if done properly can actually be addictive and you actually look forward to running . Great for physical and mental health

I recently started running a bit more, when I started I was doing only a block (literally one block) and was 222 lbs today im celebrating 20 pounds off my body (202.6lbs) and the ability to run up to 5 miles!!! Guys I’m so hype and yes it changes your mood and just about everything.. For those that have just started, don’t worry if you only run a block (like me) just keep it up! There’ll be pain on the feet, a couple of injuries and you’re going to have to rest it off for a week or so but don’t quit and keep it up, don’t stop, it gets better I promise!

Running helps me to clear my mind. It's great stress relief.

There goes my neighbor running down the road...93 years old and swears by it..so he's got me into it and it's amazing!!

When I tell non runners I'm somewhat addicted to running and they look at me funny..😂👌🏻

I’m the opposite of hungry, after my training sessions on the track I don’t want anything to eat for about 2 hours normally

I‘ve learned to accept pain after running. 😁🏃🏽‍♀️

Thanks guys, I've just done my second run, I just want to keep running, now I get what people are saying it being addictive, so happy to have started running

I havnt ran in 10 years after my knee surgery. But 2 months ago I had my first run. I was so out of shape and struggling running up a simple hill but it felt amazing. I'm going to do it again haha

I call what I do wogging, Walking and jogging at same time, Make sure you are flexible on your ankles.

I've noticed they always say in these videos something like "Only 10 miles a week." To a new runner, that's a lot!! In fact if you're doing the couch to 5k it might take you a long time to get to that.

I'm 40 and recovering from two broken disks in my neck. I'd say easy does it. I started with good pace run for five minutes. Then walk for two then run again for 3. Keep doing this till you build up a good pace

I like how you guys go into detail, never knew there was so much science behind running. 🏃👍

I clicked because I thought Roger Federer had put on weight

Love your page, watch your videos religiously since Covid began (picked up my running significantly to de-stress) and have learned so much. All that said, Rick channelling Rowan Atkinson while devouring a Kit Kat at 2:04 made me laugh out loud! Thank you for the fun during these maddening times.

This is such a great Video for new runners. Well done!

Thanks for all your content. When I started running I did it with no knowledge and I began running everyday == Terrible Shin Splints. Now I know to build it up gradually!

Errrr.....toe nails going black and dropping off is not something to “kick on” with. It’s not normal!!! It’s best to make sure you keep all your toe nails trimmed short and well shaped so they don’t impact or rub on other toes or your shoes when you run.

I started running twice a week in intervals. I've built up to a steady 2-3 mile run. I love it. My background is/was competitive bodybuilding/powerlifting/strongman. I was 243 lbs back in December and made a promise that once I got to my goal weight at 210. I started to run and got the mentioned pains. But it's getting better. One very cool effect is that my lower abs are now as prominent as the upper four-pack. I've also increased my carbs and I'm still looking at 210-212 weekly. I'm only doing twice-weekly running. I also do strongman events once per week and bodybuilding work. My goal is to look like a superhero without competing. My granddaughter is also my goal at 54 I want to remain healthy, steroid-free, and look better than the average 50+ guy. Plus looking jacked is always bad ass LOL

The way I dealt with shin splints was to jog very slowly for a day or two till they went away. For plantar-type pain Ibuprofen 200 mg. tablets are amazing, and inexpensive. The tablets are far better than the cream or ointment.

started to notice, that, when my weekly mileage went higher and I started to ran longer (6/8/10 miles runs), one of my toenails indeed got black, was pretty worried about that and the nipples one, I always forget it, and than it burns (bleeds sometimes) like crazy, so, thank you guys, for the tips!

That shower scream 😱 lol. This is my favorite running channel by far. I’d love to hear you on myweeklytimed podcast sometime.

Running gives me peace

I absolutely love running and have seen more benefits doing it than any other movement . What upsets me is hearing time and time again how cardio isn't good and we need to be doing weight training more. I do agree that weight training is massively beneficial but let me enjoy my cardio! Why are so many people negative about it? Maybe the people who put cardio down just can't handle it or something I don't know 😂 I personally like doing a run then about 30 mins of weight training. Maybe no one else has heard the negative talk about it but I see it on all the fitness accounts on Instagram. Usually someone with massive muscles saying how shit cardio is and that I need to start lifting

I've noticed a change in my stomach, it's flatter than it was despite me not losing much weight.

My favourite boxers have been great for running, this mornings longer running session have caused chafing. New runderwear needed

How hard core is the water pressure in the shower over there lol

OMG the runner's High ! That's my favourite part,but yes when I need to run, I just have to get out. #footbalanceuk #quickfit insoles have helped with my blisters & line up from hip to toe. A good pair of running shoes is definitely 👍 I have tried many. My favourite is #newtonrunning & #nimbus21 #ASICSUK OMG Vasalene is my god lol 👍 thanks #TheRunningChannel

Started Running 🏃‍♂️ since I was in Primary School and it’s true it’s a lifestyle💯

i can tell you what happens to mine..my lungs hang out of my arse.

Best video and explanation for beginners runners

Very helpful video thanks

Some times during the initial part of the run one may get a lil pain here or a slight sprain there if it isn't really bad continue running and it vanishes never to come back again...that's the magic of running

I injured my back, the piriformis muscle. I was in agony I stopped and started. I’ve found Pilates has really helped me. I’ve a long way to go but I’m getting there with the running

Rungry. I've never heard the term, but it's absolutely true. When I was training for my marathons, I felt like I had a tapeworm. No matter how much I ate, it never felt like it was enough. After my Saturday long runs, I would two different breakfasts and still be desperately hungry for lunch. All of this without gaining any weight. And nipple chafing. Yep. That's rough. I made a rookie mistake and wore cotton on a semi long run. When I got back to the house, I felt like I had been sandblasted. Performance fabric + Body Glide = no more chafing. 👍🏼👍🏼

Strangely before I started running I had ongoing issues with Plantar Fasciitis for 2 to 3 years, but not had any problems with it since I started running.

I run during Ramadan :) cant wait to try running in UK weather,hopefully, when I get there!

running is the only thing that makes my brain pause, it’s like a good nights sleep to me now 😅

Loved the acting guys well done

At the thought of running my body changes by going into the prone position with a bag of crisps a bar of chocolate and a cold bottle of Pepsi.

Great video

I have a toenail that never grew back the same.

The shower scream was great!!

Only just come across your channel. Brilliant cant wait to watch them all. Subscribed

Hamstring pulls and tears theres another injury, had a grade 2 back in March, beautiful pattern bruising to the leg and a frustrated me, back now though but listen to your body😀

Wow didn’t know there’s such thing as “runner’s high”… ever since I took running serious, all I could think about is running! All I think about is my next 9k and half marathon event I signed up for. Also, to just want to train more..

Try running off road as well it is better than road combine both I prefer cross training its more benifical.

Like for that shower scream 😂😂😂

Yes, i speak from experience: Had a NASTY plantar fascia issue after my first 6-8 months of running. I raised my mileage from 10k to around 15k and Boooom! 3 months of pausing… not a nice thing…😢

I get bad tension headaches. I don’t relax my shoulders or jaw when I run. Working on it, hopefully I can get it in check

My advice is to wear soft light clothing. I used to run around London in a suit of armour. I know it sounds a bit silly but when you are new to it, you just go with what you have around the house. Anyway thanks to the running channel I now have a pair of "trainers" some shorts and a "t shirt". I sound less noisy on long runs and I feel great. 👍

You won't lose weight unless you are in a calorie deficit.

I think I got all 3 injuries in my first 26 miles...I think it had more to do with the fact that I'm a severe supinator, but I didn't know that was a problem at first. I ran through the pain, and I wasn't taking rest days

Been doing crossfit for a while now and don’t understand how I’m so strong and so fast at the cardio machines, plyos, even swimming. But when it comes to running.. my heart rate spikes and I never feel like I can catch my breathe. I don’t know why running is the one exercise that is so hard for me. (Sprints are fine, talking about any type of distance running)

I need those endorphins damn it!

For once RU-vid makes a decent recommendation!!! I'm a bit shocked haha

For those without time to watch. When you start to run your body slowly over time turns you into Jimmy Carr.

10 mile runs here so I guess I'm burning over 1000 calories per run. I love running its so relaxing.

Your toenails may turn black and fall off-but no worries! No really.... LoL Blisters do get me-getting good socks that don't have seams on them that rub on the sides of your feet...helps. Inner thigh chaffing is the worst. "Rump" cream from Lush is fabulous...and I like "satin sheets" by Lush too-a great superfine powder that keeps you dry.

Brilliant channel!

Sincere regards and greetings ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Nothing better than the old black toe nail and then falling off. I know that feeling well Lol running is my happy place. great video

If I don't run I'm in a bad mood & sluggish all day.

I’m at 2002 miles since purchasing my Apple Watch June 2020. Trying to get back to my run rate from the first year. The actual purchase of the watch made me think I needed to run to make the purchase worth it lol.

The biggest problem I have while running my stomach start to digest super quickly and I always have to look for toilet this always been a problem as I was not able to finish my runs. And I never run straight after a meal

I fixed the chafing issue by wearing a proper sports shirt. Using cotton shirts will definately chafe.

Also, there's literally just concrete surfaces near where I live. I just recovered from shin splints because of banked roads, is it a good idea to run on concrete?

When you mentioned changes to your body shape how long does it actually take to notice these changes if you are running 2 miles per day everyday???

I really want a kit kat now

has anyone been in an injury and post surgery situation and stopped running for a year or two but now your body doesnt remember how to run, and if so how did you fix it?

I don’t run til it hurts unless someone else is with me because peer pressure. I like to go as fast and as long as feels good. Some walking sometimes. Which is not running haha

I miss running. Iv not long had an operation for a broken neck so unsure if I'm allowed to run again.

Hey running channel, school fucked up my routine and I've lost both habit and motivation to go running, how do you suggest I get back into it?? I use exercise for pain control, and when I'm in pain is the time I want to go the least, but I really need to...

i was a runner now im bed bound.didn't work for me,fibromyalgia; cfs,ankolosing spondalytis chronic fatigue hiatus hernia, pad,hypothyroidism, tinnitus etc..exercise makes it all worse,a catch 22 situation.

I've noticed I get to where I'm going a bit quicker.

what about running form your problems and respinsibilities?

A day away from finishing couch to 5K and loving it... but often having lower back pains after or during the later day (not while running). Anyone have any experience with this?

I’m new to running

I'm so slow my phone said,'step-up your walking' I said stupid phone I'm running, two days ago, for real.

I'm not getting sleep these days if I don't run every day

Do you really Scream like your really getting murdered 🤣🤣🤣

Toenails falling off doesn't scare bc I did pointe for two years😂it scared all the pedicure people

Running is the fastest way to lose weight. I bought a new Garmin and have been running everyday for the last 2 months. My clothes fit better. I feel so mentally great and overall stronger. People make the mistake of running too fast. Pace yourself. At first just walk/run to build your endurance and have fun!

If you have black toes nails, you should keep them trimmed as much as comfortable, and get shoes that have the heals at the same height as the toes and plenty of room in the toes for toe splay. It’s not normal for people under the marathon level.

I don't get rungry, cycling on the other hand.......... Nom nom nom nom...

I'm more prone to black toe nails if I walk for a long time . Running never gave me black toes. I only got Achilles heels from wearing cheap running shoes or kept running in old shoes.

jesus, Im worried about nails faling of, does this happen often? is it inevitable?

👍🏼

WE ARE BETTER THEN THE OTHERS

Another way to start running is to chase Anna !😛

I have reduced appetite and reduced sleep after o started running since last 3 months. Is it normal.

I had an ingrown toe nail removed in January caused by running keep your nails trimmed people when running

Can i loose weight on my face after getting fat from taking meds??? I want to loose weight on my face its gone round...im unhappy

Something about the bird fit

I didn't watch the video but is the answer "you travel faster"?

you still get aches and pains after running for about ten years!!!

Pharmaceutical companies would lose all anti-depressant sales If people committed to a lifestyle of running.

I have ran 5km today 🙃 and it was very good 👍

Plantar fasciitis has honestly ruined my life.

Biking literally has exact same benefits expect downhill more fun, and not consisting jolting causing your knees to help
