How To Run: DOs & DON'Ts
Evolutionary biology professor Daniel Lieberman, whose studies are the scientific backbone for Chris McDougall’s BORN TO RUN, gives five pointers on how he thinks you can run long distances better and injury-free.
Lieberman believes the human body is more capable of running long distances than any other species on Earth (i.e. humans are born to run). A barefoot runner himself, he supports the benefits of running shoeless, so long as you learn how to run correctly.

If I don’t lean forward, I am afraid that the bottom half of my body will go faster than upper half and I will fall back on my head. This could be just me but for that reason I try to lean forward as I start running. I eventually become upright and then lean forward again before I feel I might fall. When I am running uphill, I am completely vertical as a pendulum.
Listen to pain….

thanks for the tips I just got to America
About 2 months ago, back when I used to smoke 20 packs a day and lived in Boston, I couldnβt sleep, so I decided to go for a run to see how far I could go starting at 5am on a chilly February morning, and told myself Iβd keep running until I got tired, but after 4 miles, I was surprised I still wasnβt tired, so I continued running, but my phone was almost out of charge, but fortunately I had brought the placenta of my newborn along with me, so I used it to plug my phone into my anus and kept happily trotting because I wasnβt timing myself or anything, just running for pleasure, and boy, what a pleasure it was, so much so that Iβd come every few miles in orgasmic ecstasy making my muscles all jelly slowing me down to a snailβs pace, but I wasnβt timing myself and running just for pleasure, and wasnβt feeling tired, so I kept running and running until I finally started to get really hungry at which point, I figured I didnβt really want to stop, so I just snatched stuff from vendors on the street selling mystery meat dogs and ran away quickly, much faster than they could catch me, especially after I took a few bites of the mystery meat dog causing the calories to immediately fuel me up, so much so that I got brave enough to snatch a sandwich from a gang member on a Harley and his shit-phut-phut-sputtering engine couldnβt keep pace with my running, running that I did for pleasure, not to time myself or anything, and what a pleasure it was, especially releasing snot rockets and poop rockets, the latter being especially enjoyable as Newtonβs third law really poop-launched me forward into a lake and Iβd be clean and cooled down again without any trace of the poopy propellant while continuing to run, occasionally underwater, but always for pleasure, not to time myself or anything.
Itβs mid June now and Iβm still running through the sands of New Mexico, having mastered the dexterity required to compose social media messages like this one while running using my recto-placentally powered phone.
You cannot land on flat foot with cushion shoes, 99.9999% of people land with heals with our expensive branded shoes

Short β Words out of places .
Short and sweet π
Next on the list how to walk
Sometimes I watch other people run. I am usually horrified by their running form. I recently saw a beautiful woman with a beautiful stride. It was impressive. I was tempted to say something. But I figured it would sound creepy, and I might get maced.
I would add strength training as an essential component also.
You need to lean. Physics
Great vid"
GREAT Instruction "
GREAT instructor"
thank you friend !"
Fire run tips
I haven’t been runnung for years, so I forgot how to run…
Should I follow these tips when I am running while playing sport like football?
εεΉι£?
I wonder how many gym teachers teach their students how to run. I bet it’s less than 1/1000
Actually canβt lean when running. I learned to run straight and been running straight my whole life until I read one those articles that says you have to lean forward ( with no explanation as to where to lean, legs, hips,or what) so I tried to lean next time I ran and that made it so much harder, I couldnβt breathe properly. So Yea never did it again. I thought I donβt care if Iβm doing it wrong, Iβm not leaning. First video Iβve seen that says donβt lean. Guess I was doing it right in the first place
I had messed up my left arm from working out too much so I start going for 3-6 mile runs and ended up messing up my shins tooπππ
Thanks
Sorry for late "like" Youtube just recommended it after 7 fucking years..
Good information, but there are too many Don’ts and not enough Do’s. I also disagree, our bodies are design to run that’s why we have a plantar ligament and bony arch in our foot, to cushion our foot fall. That’s why our joints have the degrees freedom they do and our hamstrings and gluteal muscles are so large; for efficient turn over and power. That’s why the strongest lever and pulley system in our body is the Achilles tendon and ankle; for spring. But I do agree very much with you that we have to ease into running as adults, since after childhood, we do so little running or walking that all of the things mentioned above are weak and creaky. 8 )
This covers similar ground to POSE running – landing mid-sole under you hips so no jarring on the knee – and with a faster cadence – hence shorter strides.
My ankles are weak thatβs why I donβt run a lot like I used to Iβm not even that old πππ
But I’m a ninja. I always run bent forward.
I like to pretend there is a string that runs through the center of my body connecting from my tailbone to the top of my head. Everytime I feel myself start to slouch forward, I "pull" the string up visually to straighten my mid-line. It pushes my hips forward a bit, my shoulders back, and my core in.
So is it okay to land on the balls of our feet or do we need to land flat footed?
I used to have terrible knee problems after running so I gradually changed over to running on the tops of my feet. Not easy as you have to bend your feet back 180 degrees. But this means your completely avoid landing on your heel and jarring your lower joints……well, HE started it!
I would do it but Iβm scared of people talking about me
Who tf runs hard on the heel ? Never even considered this
I like to run because it releases Dolphins or something like that ππ¬π¬π¬
0:10 don’t overstride
0:50 land on a flat foot
1:08 run vertically (don’t lean)
1:20 don’t thump your feet
1:47 ease into it (take time and gradually improve)
1:20 how do you not thump though?
I need to decrease my 2 mile time
How does everyone get so many likes?
all great tips and ignored by many!
Since I havenβt run in a year cause of Covid and I canβt run anymore, and I have to go to practice Monday – Friday for track. I never done track either
I got Acl surgery 5 months ago and im watching this becaause im starting to run again. And mt strides are not the same its so weird i cant belive im watching a video on how to run when i used to run for hours. Its crazy how one injury can tottally fuck an athlete up phyiscially and mentally.
Whatever works
This video is way to short to be anything like a DOs and DONTs summary, it barely covered anything
I bet he hasn’t ran a day in his is life.
Does jogging make ham strings bigger
A horse is making a lot of noise while running. So, horse is running poorly. π΄
