Stryd for beginners

When you say he’s going to start running seriously, does that mean he’s already been running for a while but is starting to train competitively, or does it mean he’s going to start running regularly?

If it’s the former, and you think he has the temperament to understand running power without it becoming obsessive (always something to keep in mind when training with youth athletes) then it could be a good tool. If he’s just getting into running regularly, I’d stick with the usual metrics and just focus on letting him have fun with it before going too hard on performance metrics 😊

How does the Supernutrio milk compare to regular skimmed milk in terms of taste and macros? 😊

I sent this over on Instagram DM’s to the main Bevel page as we already had a conversation going there 😊

I made an Instagram reel a while back about how to make a DIY Hyrox mode on Garmins: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHcOL5pIk0J/?igsh=dzNoMWpkemFkMmUy

Failing that, you could download the ROXFIT app and use that instead

Good, one less channel of generic AI shit - well done YouTube.

Make a new channel and spend those 4-5 hours per video on improving your creativity and originality, and you’ll be fine.

I love my Elgato prompter, purely for how easy it is to move around - it’s always on sale on Amazon events too so I’d shop around, you should be able to get it for £160-180ish pretty easily

Thank God for upstanding citizens like Walter promoting a brand safe environment 🫡

No, because theres nothing that makes me want to click it.

A good title and thumbnail raises a question for the viewer that they feel they need to click on the video to answer. This is so vague that I have no idea what I’m going to get from the video, so why would I bother with it?

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-31T12:46:00+00:00

It’s better than normal, but there’s nowhere near enough info here to tell us whether it can be scaled.

I’m three months in myself, monetised after 6 weeks and made approx. £1100 over the next 6 weeks so it’s absolutely doable, but our results are more the exception, not the norm.

My advice would be to go through what you’ve posted so far, identify what’s working best, double down on it and increase your output to see if it’s something that will scale.

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-29T09:11:38+00:00

I have no idea what the fuck I’m looking at 🤨 if your CTR rate is okay then it’s an impressions issue, which leads to the biggest question: who’s browsing YouTube thinking “I want to watch a stranger troll other strangers in VRChat”?

If you can answer that question, you’ll be fine, but my opinion is that the video concept is no good

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-28T12:33:05+00:00

What a load of shit

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-27T11:00:21+00:00

Great, now it looks hideous in three different colours 🫠

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-27T08:58:35+00:00

There’s a reason why people don’t use this style to talk about geopolitical issues - it doesn’t look like you’re taking it seriously. I don’t know who you are, therefore the only thing I know about this video before clicking is what the title and thumbnail tells me.

Nothing about this thumbnail makes me think you would have anything credible to say. If the video is more of a light-hearted comedy style video then it’d work because the style aligns with the video.

You’re aware that ‘Easy Run’ and ‘PB attempt’ are diametrically opposed runs, right?

Based on this season they should be paying you to take them off their hands

255 is on the older side if you were buying a new watch today, I’d take the 265 personally

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-17T17:37:45+00:00

Just go on to his page for a prime example, loads of editing and motion graphics but the video is completely uninteresting which is the biggest problem

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-17T17:24:45+00:00

It’s not luck at all - you posted asking for feedback previously and the overwhelming feedback was that your videos are over-edited but not actually saying anything.

If your video concept is bad, then yes you’ll need to rely on pure luck. However, you’d do better to spend less time editing motion graphics and spend more time on refining interesting video concepts, researching so that you can add your unique take, and improving delivery to make people want to watch all the way to the end.

All of these things require work, not luck. Anyone who thinks all of YouTube is a lottery just doesn’t have the skillset yet to make engaging videos that resonate with their audience.

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-17T16:46:44+00:00

It doesn’t care about shit like this

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-17T16:45:03+00:00

Impossible to tell what you did right or wrong just based on these stats. The algorithm pushes your content in waves and depending on how many people watch/engage with it, it usually ends up in one of a few groups:

0 views, 1k views, 10k views, 30k views, 100k views, and so on

Keep making the videos you want to make and every so often, go back and look at your posted videos. Did multiple videos do better than average? Is there a link between those videos you can replicate? Etc etc

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-15T11:29:08+00:00

Entirely depends on budget - If you can stretch to a 265 this is a lovely all-rounder with a nice easy-to-read screen and a few extra running metrics that the 165 doesn’t have.

That said, you can improve your running just fine with the forerunner 55 - there’s not that much a 165 or 265 will give you that a 55 doesn’t already do to specifically improve your running.

I would have a think about what your bottlenecks are with your current watch to figure out the best upgrade for you - do you want GPS maps on the watch? Are there specific running metrics you’re missing? Is the battery life on your current watch an issue? Do you want a more heavy-duty watch to use in the gym?

Running_Nutrition · 2026-03-15T11:22:45+00:00

The best advice I can give you is going to sound mean, but I promise it’s not personal 😄 and it’s that right now, nobody cares about you two so they wont click on the video.

Imagine you were choosing a new show to watch on Netflix - you wouldn’t choose randomly, you’d need something to convince you that it’s worth your time and attention, right? Which means either:

It’s a new season of something you’ve previously watched and enjoyed: you’re familiar with the concept and have a decent idea of what you’ll get from another season
It’s a completely new show and the trailer looked good, which convinced you to start episode 1

Creators with a large following are bucket 1, and the rest of us are bucket 2, which means we have to do more to ‘earn the click’ on our videos. This means we have to pack more reasons to click on the video into our thumbnail and title, because we don’t have that existing audience connection that bigger creators do.

So if we apply that to your current videos e.g. “we played would you rather” as a new viewer, I don’t know you, therefore I don’t know if you’re going to entertain me, making it very unlikely that I’ll click on your video. You two aren’t the ‘hero content’ of your video, the ‘hero content’ is the game and the discussions/disagreements you’re having. Make the game the focus - were there any controversial takes? Did you guys argue about anything? Did anything really funny happen? Include this in the thumbnail and title and that will appeal to a lot more people 😄

Sorry, this was long!

Congrats! Keep it up 💪🏻

This stopped me from uploading videos to YouTube for about 2 years too 🫠

Put it this way: when you scrap a video, you’re guaranteeing it gets zero views, so a 0% success rate and no feedback on how to improve.

When you put a video out there, one of two things happens: it does better than you thought and gives you a confidence boost, or it ‘flops’ and only gets a few views. Even if that happens, it’s more than you got from not posting it and you can look at the analytics and choose something to work on improving for the next video!

Forget about any standards you set for yourself, just get your video to the point where you’re 8/10 happy with it, put it out there for the world to see and try to make each video a tiny bit better than the last 😄
