My 13 Hacks to Make Running ACTUALLY Enjoyable *as a former hater*
Video Overview & Insights
A run can be FUN, trust me on this. Head to https://DrinkLMNT.com/Keltie to get your free sample pack with any order.
Cara Bastone has these awesome romcom audiobooks that are done almost completely in dialogue, with the male and female narrators alternating lines instead of chapters, so there's no awkward voice shift. It's kind of like watching a movie. They're really fun!

I listen while running/hiking/walking primarily, and sometimes while driving with phone connected to my car.

I had hip surgery at 17 and was told I would never be able to run I started little by little and have run 3 miles twice now Iβm 22 now! A lot of that is because of the zero drop shoes my physical therapist recommended!!! Made the biggest difference and Iβm pain free running I LOVE the altra ones!!

Book recommendation: Unwell Women. Donβt recall the author but she is based in the U.K. I think if that helps. I am sure her bibliography would have lots of great reading options as well. I generally listen to books but sometimes still buy print copies for the bibliography.

Tennis Skirts & Dress:
This might sound weird but do you have any tips for trying to get better at running while managing depression? I really want to get fit because I feel so gross and lazy but it's sooo hard because depression makes even basic things hard. Idk.

Another former hater here. My personal hacks: 1) Run trails. Feels better, more interesting, less likely to get repetitive impact injuries, etc. When the terrain gets gnarly, running gets fun (and it's WAY more fun than hiking). 2) Walk whenever you feel like it. Somehow it's easier to shift back and forth between running and walking on a trail. Often the terrain dictates it. Even the best trail runners walk uphill. 3) Learn to bird by ear. This is one of my top life hacks, period, but it makes every run more enjoyable. On my last morning thirty-minute outing, I heard over twenty different species. It's one of the things that makes me look forward to every run and keeps my mind off of the effort.

I thought I was doing great with my 50 euro Adidas Runfalcon 5 shoes but then I went and spent my extra savings on a pair of Hoka Clifton 9s and custom made Footbalance insoles due to left foot's overpronation. Oh my what a difference. My first run was 1:12:00 without aches or sores. I will never buy cheap running shoes ever again.
About Me:

More User Perspectives
concerning the electrolytes: they won't be very useful if you don't consume them with any carbs, preferably sugar. Your intestines have symporters, which uptake salt + sugar at the same time (not if one is absent) and drag water with them so you can actually hydrate.
And you barely need to spend money on them, look up the WHO oral rehydration formula and mix it yourself :) it will work better than the product Keltie is promoting, or any product with no sugar in general
Top tip: get a prance-y dog whose ears bounce to the beat of your music so you can giggle the whole time. Never gets old.
@stephcrosier7429nah, I prefer to rawdog it with no music/podcast/audiobook.
@znichoI am a recovering running hater and started my journey a few weeks ago. Running is actually fun I never thought I would say this someday. Never say never. Doing yoga will improve your ride.
@countdown.momentsI was running on the treadmill while watching this so thank you keltie for going on my run with me!
@jasminejanisch456654321: five things I can see, four things I can hear, three things I can feel, two things I can smell, one thing I can taste. Totally keeps me present. No work drama and no personal drama ruminations allowed while exercising! πππππ
@boblatkey7160Running is the only time my mind is quiet and still, no thoughts just the definition of peace of mind. Thatβs why I love it and need it β€π
@mij6253We'd love book recs β€ I personally did not come for running videos, I just liked your energy. So speak about anything you are passionate about
@FrostandflourI'd love a video about heel vs not heel striking. I'm aware about the debate and consensus in the running community but I've been a heel striker my whole life and when a couple of years ago I tried switching to the fore foot, Despite doing short distance on fore foot and alternating heel/fore foot the whole run, I couldn't walk for 4 days afterwards. All the muscles in the front foot/front ankle were really painful. I've switched back to my heel striking and won't ever attempt changing again.
@LauraFVCI did something similar to a color run. I counted every blue flower with red thorns I could find. It would have been a lot easier if I wasn't color-blind.
@Murphy2043BOOKSSS PLEASE
@susiebrown6826I see those barefoot shoes Keltie... πCountdown until barefoot shoe video???
Also I would LOVE to know what you read!!
Kellie this was amazing! I have not run in a year and now my son and I are training for a 5k turkey trot. I have never been a good runner but I try. One important thing I learned is to slow my pace a lot lol and that has helped me tremendously and I love running so much more β€οΈ
@janne2163Run with your dog. 3 for 1: 1) instant running companion 2) health of your pet 3) you walked your dog + got your run in π
@nicinatlantaI'm gonna say in regard to your LMNT ad- my husband is a runner and had chronic pain in his lower leg for a good 6 months and couldn't run. turns out he needed insoles and (one day) special shoes! If you have pain that isn't going away go to your doctor if you can or if you suspect your feet may be a problem- a place like fleetfoot! he's finally back to running <3
But yeah if you have pain recurring in the same spots that don't go away check in with your doctor pls first and especially before taking a supplement like LMNT to see if that's a good option for you
Winter is coming here in Montana, so for my color runs, I'm going with white. I know what you're thinking. But when I land on my back 3 feet out the front door, most of what I'll be seeing is the grey sky. In terms of fitness gains? I'm setting my expectations low in advance.
@Nick-rl8pnJust in case you didnβt know color run is ALSO a type of 5K where you get covered in colored chalk. Just wanted to share because it at the top of my long term running bucket list lol
@devinpierce2784I swear to god this was the 10th time i ran on the treadmill while watching one of your videos
@zivc-onJust found you π whilst πββοΈβ€
@taboo1459Where is your blue strap top from? Would love a video of the best running brands, there are so many to choose from
@TheNorfolkCyclistNot me eating my lunch, watching your video and scrolling my phone π³ - Thanks for the nudge in your last tip about stimulation and dopamine!
