15 Minute Runners Flexibility Routine (FOLLOW ALONG)

[@bethmorgan8128]

I've been doing this routine for 3 months now and I no longer require a knee brace to run!! This is the first time I've been injury free while running in years. Thank you!!!!!

These are stretchers for after running or before running

Tom exposed just how poorly I have been stretching before my runs up to this point. These past 18 minutes turned me from a graphite pole to a slinky. Thanks for the video!

[@andrewelambert]

Been running a lot recently. This hit all of the spots in my legs and lower back that have been killing me. Never been much of the stretching-type, but this routine may have converted me. Much obliged for the good advice.

Hi there! I have been running for years, and really didn’t stretch either! After incorporating this routine into my week, I’m running an additional mile on my runs! Stretching actually works! 🤣🤣

[@brrddaeng]

@@ddt67 hi, I am 17 and trying to get better at running. Do I stretch before or after a run? I usually stretched first thing in the morning and like general stretches, not particularly for running, been doing them for a month now. So I don't know if I should change as to when I stretch, or not.

[@ddt67]

@@brrddaeng Hi there! I have been running since I was 12, and I’m 54. After all of these years of running and everything I have read and all that I have experienced after all these years is this : Stretch about 5 minutes before you run and then after a run, stretch for 15 minutes, and it doesn’t haven’t to be right after you run, but before you go to bed. It just needs to be when you have the time to stretch, but it does not need to be right after a run! I will you tell you this, running has saved me emotionally!!!

Hey, I'm 33 years old and overweight. I have a chronical disease which takes away about 500 kcal of my daily intake. I have to do sports to lose weight, dieting alone does not help me. I started running in November but my calves hurt so hard, even days after the run. Today I ran, for the first time without any pain, after I followed your instructions. Thank you so much!!!

Even if the last comment was made years ago: Thank you! I do your stretches almost daily since one month. And I feel much better, younger and indeed flexible! If you read this and still be open for wishes: Could you do a stretching routine for Surfers? Something for opening the chest, for being more flexible with the arms and for the legs as well, especially for leaning into the knees and to hold that. I am sure I'am not the only one who would appreciate that very much. Even if you're not surfing. But you aren't a runner either :-) Thanks and I wish you all the best!

Thank you for this guided stretch! I like how you start with gentle dynamic stretches and gradually warm up the body. I normally go directly into longer stretching and my body doesn't loosen up very much. With this routine, stretching feels good!

[@paulallen6992]

Some anecdotal feedback for other runners; Some of these stretches are fairly intense for pre-run. I actually tweaked my quad a little bit from the lunges at 2:26 and 9:17. I'd personally recommend leaving those for post-run or just eliminating them entirely from the routine.

[@My_Fitness-ph3es]

Ik this may seem like a late comment but, the most important part about stretching is consistency and rest. I had it in my head that “consistency” was stretching it everyday. Though I was getting flexibility gains in the beginning, I slowly realized that I started going backwards the more and more I felt “consistent.” Now, later on down the line, I had finally realized that your body can’t constantly stretch as much as I was doing in order to actually gain anything. So, In other words, the moral of the story is: taking breaks from stretching are nessasary for flexibility gains.
