[@user-td2rs6ho8i]

Thank you for always reminding us that our bodies are different than yours and we don’t have to mirror your movements. We do our practice and your guidance is so appreciated. Helping to keep me on task!! Have a wonderful day!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I’m so happy that you pick up on those details Heather your feedback really means a lot 🙏 glad I can help, have a wonderful day too!! 😊

[@sloaneshearman7915]

Thank you for the video! As someone new to running who doesn’t know much about stretching or have time to get hurt, I really appreciate your gentle advice and instruction!

[@rachelhennon5640]

Just ran my first few miles after taking a break recently to welcome our newborn baby to this chaotic but awe-inspiring world. I was looking forward to doing one of your post-run stretches as much as the run itself. Thanks for crafting such a thoughtful and gentle space to care for our bodies while still being efficient with the time and movements! I look forward to the next one. Cheers!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback Rachel😊 it’s so nice to read and gives me a little boost! Congratulations on your baby 🎉 well done for prioritising your health, it’s so easy to lose ourselves in parenting and forget to keep ourselves well 👍🏻

[@lucyatkinson1950]

Congratulations on your new baby!

[@Kelly_Ben]

Congratulations on your new baby, and on getting back out there! StrongMama!

[@eareyes87]

Thanks for the video, I’m 36 and have never really paid importance to stretching. After my first marathon I realized how important it is to include stretching in the training plan. Your videos help

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s great to hear 😊 so glad I could help you start a stretching routine to help you recover after your runs, thanks for stretching with me and commenting 🙏🙌🏻

[@EmmaAnjali]

These are the best stretching videos I have found on KZbin. My body always feels so much better with the pre- and post- run stretching. Thank you for the reminders to listen to our bodies. Thank you for these videos!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Oh wow!!! That’s so amazing to read Emma. I find it incredibly humbling when I am able to connect and help people through this platform, it makes me feel great to help you. 😊

[@ryankirk8402]

Thanks Again Ash! I’m back after 4 weeks of a groin injury!! Not ideal when the London marathon is in 4 weeks!!! Eeek! 🤞🏼 Great video, enjoyed that one! Thanks for everything you do for us runners out there trying to improve our bodies and minds! 🙏🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

So good to see you back Ryan! Don't worry you're not alone with injuries I have 2 clients doing the London marathon that have also picked up injuries in their training and just getting back to their programmes so I understand your stress, try not to let it get you down. Ease your way back in! Thanks for your supportive comment, its great to read 🙏😀

[@JiuJitsuTrashcan]

Started a 10K running plan today. First run was a basic nonstop run for 35 minutes. Gonna be 20 minute run, 3 minute walk, then another 20 minute run next time. Nervous and excited to see what my body can do! Thanks for another day of warm up and cool down, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing!!! Well done for taking on the challenge. That nervous/excited feeling is the best. It’s what helps us grow mentally and physically. You can do this 🙌🏻😊

[@emmanuelorokpo2483]

My hip told me thank you after the stretch

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Fantastic! Thank you for commenting, glad you enjoyed this stretch with me 😊🙌🏻

[@charlottegrady7263]

Love these 10 minute post stretch routines! Super short but they still make a huge difference.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you Charlotte, glad you enjoyed this stretch with me and can feel the benefits of a 10 minute stretch 😊🙌🏻

[@MrTreezus]

Injured myself training for a marathon, here's to round 2 with proper stretching!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Good work getting into recovery and looking after your body this time 🙌🏻 good luck with second attempt 👍🏻😊

[@f4bioziegler]

One of my favorite 10min stretching routines 🫶🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you for stretching with me and commenting your kind words 🙏😊

[@c.hemingway782]

Best stretching Video on the interwebs

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I really appreciate that, thank you so much 🙏😊

[@JohnSmith-bl4md]

This is the second video of yours I've come across and they're so refreshing! Calming, honest and helpful. Thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much John for stretching with me and commenting your support 🙏😊

[@TheEwens84]

Short and to the point. Combined this with some foam rolling afterwards. Thanks Ash.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great idea to combine David 👍 You're on top with your recovery game, well done for looking after your body 🙏 thanks for choosing me to be part of your routine 😀

[@johnwelshmorris5]

I used to be highly competitive and have Pb of 16.12 5k. I never stretched and now I've returned to running 8 years later and getting fit again I've added this video to the end of my runs. 11 weeks back and feel loose now thanks to your videos. I hope to beat my old pb on my return

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s so great to hear John 😊 I’m glad you enjoy my stretches and they are helping your return to running. That’s a cracking PB 👍🏻 I appreciate you commenting as always, thanks 🙌🏻

[@michellemceachen8386]

Training for a marathon and I watch this video almost everyday after my run. Thanks for the video!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad I could help you with this stretch Michelle. Good luck with the marathon training. Thanks for commenting 🙌🏻😊

[@danielledonofrio24]

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

So glad you love this video Danielle, happy to help you stretch and be your guide! Thanks for commenting and being part of my KZbin community 🙏😀

[@paris7892]

These shorter cool down videos are ideal for running between work and dinner, I managed to do this one after my interval run while my pizza was in the oven! I always feel so relaxed mentally as well as physically afterwards 😊 Thanks for the video, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks to you too Paris, I'm so glad you felt the benefits of this stretch after your interval run and you enjoy my videos 😀 hope the pizza was yum 👍

[@tvargas76]

Looking before I even watch for first time because I've liked all the others so far and find these helpful

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Awesome, thank you! So glad you find these helpful 😊

[@cw2002]

Did a 22k run this morning and was pushed for time when I got back so this quick essential stretch routine was really helpful, thanks Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Appreciate your comments Chris, you've become a regular commenter already! Happy to help with your stretches 🙌 More to come 👍

[@brodeurjessica]

I appreciate the rating out of ten for how much to stretch, that is such valuable guidance that so many videos are missing. I run often as I'm training for a marathon, and I like to do a different stretch video after each run. I've tried a variety of KZbinrs but I find myself coming back to yours because they are helpful, kind, and I often learn something new. Keep it up, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Brilliant, that’s so good to hear. Thank you so much. Glad this helped you understand what level to find the stretch at out of 10. I appreciate your kind words 🙌🏻😊

[@KevinKortes-Miller]

Another great stretch. Love the sensation. And feels great after a run. Just enough incentive and variation for me. Thank you so much🎉

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Kevin. Thank you for stretching with me and commenting your kind words 🙏😊

[@Outback10]

Thanks again Ash. Only 10 minutes but really hit the spot. Great work 👍

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No worries, glad it hit the spot Anthony 👍🏻 I appreciate you commenting as always mate 🙌🏻

[@nathalie5301]

These are the videos I need. The reassurance that i dont need to do it exactly like you makes it so much relaxter to do the stretch. Thanks!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]
