Not fancily-edited but that stuff doesn't bother me.

I'll be providing further details about running in more specific, future tutorials.

Read-along:

"Hey guys, I'm back with another tutorial, this is going to be the most important tutorial I do, (probably) I'm going to cover some basics on learning how to run. I'll probably have some more specific tutorials for points that I raise in this video but I just want to deal with some very basic things to get you started in this one. It'll be longer than most of my tutorials and some of the information will be quite general but I'll be specific where I feel it's necessary and be more specific in future tutorials as well."

"This is learning how to run"

"Something I'm very keen to fix is that a lot of people run in a really bad way. This isn't your fault, it's because shoes teach you to go from the heel through to the toe whereas really you should be running with the ball of the foot making contact with the ground first and this is why you're not going to be wearing shoes when you first try and do this because it's a lot easier to I find to learn in bare feet."

"Most people walk something like this."

"If you walk like this you'll find that your kness lock-it's not something that you think about because, like breathing, you just kind of do it because you've been doing it for years, but basically shoes have trained you to walk like this and you'll probably find that you run like that as well because running is essentially a faster version of walking and if your knees are locking all the time, especially when running on concrete then eventually you're going to have knee problems and we don't want that, so I'm going to show you how to walk properly."

"With knee-locking in mind, you should walk something like this."

*FINISH THIS SECTION*

"So that's us for today, good luck on learning how to walk and run properly."

    Yes friend I am sure.

    As for the lamp-posts, haha, I guess you might have to find a different marker, here in the UK they tend to be very close together in urban and suburban areas.

    I can't see any harm in you trying my technique friend, if you find it uncomfortable or sore due to your being used to something else, consult a specialist ir leave it, but I know the technique in my video works for me and has done for many others.

    Take care, play safe, train hard.
