Plenty of YouTubers making a good living from ad revenue and selling coaching plans so yes.

Eyyyyy Thanks my man!!

Quite impressed! Polished editing. I wouldn't have sensed that it was your first video.

Just attend to the contrast: light sky background makes you appear too dark. Also, try letting the viewer see you immediately after a bout, so they can see how hard you are breathing, how much effort. That way they get a better sense of empathy with you.

Hi guys,

Without tearing me a new one & absolutely grilling me for the nervousness throughout my first video, If I could kindly ask you guys to have a look and let me know what you think of my first ever YouTube video. No need to like it, no need to comment on it, no need to subscribe... just have a look and let me know what you think!

I’ve made this channel in the hopes I can document my training and help other fellow athletes on their journey to running faster over a variety of distances. My pb’s are: 15:32 5k - 1:12:50 half & 2:42:50 full and feel i can definitely demonstrate how I train to achieve these times.

Let me know and I’d be so so grateful.

Some tips I could give you after watching the 400 repeats would be to keep your hands a bit higher up and try as best as you can to relax the whole upper body.

Pivot the arms from the shoulders not the elbows. This over the long run will take off seconds from your total time as well as making those 400s feel easier because it's going to reduce overall lactic acid buildup in the lower body which will just make you feel better during the course of them.

So basically you would want to never allow your hands to drop below the lower chest. If you put a an effort on doing this I think you can go faster.

Limiting the back swing increases the turnover or revolution that the arms make which then increases the revolution of the legs.

I say to never allow them to drop below the lower chest but that's just to start.

You actually would want to keep the hands to the shoulders as close as possible or the hand to the chin. So you could also try that. You could try to move it even higher. Try to keep the hands as close to the face at all times during all races.

It's all about limiting lactic acid or delaying lactic acid build up as much as possible. Allowing the elbow joint to open up and allowing the hands to drop down to the waist will increase lactic acid build up in the shoulders which then increases your perception of fatigue...

Try this out.

Your a legend man! Seeing your Instagram i can see you defo know your stuff man! Defo taken on board, do you know of any ways of how i can practice ‘proper’ form!!

Really decent first effort and a nice session on the track. I’m sure you’ll do alright and if you enjoy making the videos then why not.

All the best with it ?

Bet with that kind of physique, the guy in that photo never gets injured!

For real. Surely people are just born with the perfect running technique

Nice video, I liked it a lot. This is good running content and I evho most of what’s been said.

But how has nobody brought up the pacing? Yikes. Weren’t the 400s supposed to be at like 8:40-8:50 pace tops? They were like 8:25 or even under! Then the 200s @ “mile” were wayyyy quick. I don’t get this kind of workout’s purpose.
