5 MIN Pre-Run Stretching Routine

The voice, the entertaining commentary, the jokes. I don't want to run better with Ash. I want to run with Ash :)

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing, thank you so much Davide 🙌🏻 I appreciate your support 🙏😊

[@ValentinaGregoli]

Last time I went for my 8km run I badly hurt my right calf. I promised myself that I would never run without stretching beforehand. Today I went back and found this video to stretch before my run. Not only did I feel great running, nicely warmed up, but I also did not stop once!! Best time so far too: 6’38 for 7 km outside run. Not bad 😊Thanks!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done for warming up properly Valentina, so glad you felt the difference between warming up properly and not! Well done on the 7km best run 🙌👍

[@DeletedUser3-x3e]

What do you mean by 6'38 for 7 km? 6 hours for 7 km?!

This warm up helps me run in a moderate pace where I can enjoy every second of my run and not get tired of it. Thank you once again.

These stretches really get the job done! I started exercising regularly on a mini stepper in February and it gave me a gnarly pain in my left knee. I started a Couch to 5K program in April and searched for stretches for beginner runners to alleviate this pain and prevent further injury and did these stretches every time before I started and sometimes after I finish and my knee pain has disappeared. Thank you so much for your simple, free and easy-to-follow content. I stretch every time I start exercising now because of you.

I used to be a (hobby) runner and loved it, and then somehow really hurt myself and it’s been years since I’ve been able to have a running routine. Anytime I’ve tried running again, I have crazy knee pain where I can barely walk, no matter how much I stretched before. For some reason this is the only flow of stretches that has kept me safe, I’m on my 3rd run and no pain (besides my growing muscles of course) :) so happy to get into routinely running again!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s so great to hear my videos have helped you Madelyn. The knee pain you experienced could be due to heel striking when your foot strikes the floor. If you ever feel like you would like your running form analysing drop me an email [e-mail] 😊

This was so good! As a runner who had two children back to back.. today is my first day back running outside. This was just what I needed!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you enjoyed this stretch with me Rosie, so happy to help you warmup properly before your first run back, well done on coming back to it 😀 👍 thanks for commenting 🙏

I just tried jogging/running outside for the first time and used your vid for a pre stretch and I love your energy so much! You have such a warmth and loveliness and your accent is so nice 😊 I loved your analogy about wanting to feel like runny honey not set honey and shooing the chickens 😆 thank you! 💞

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Awesome! Thank you Pinkie 🙏 I’m glad I could help you have a good warmup and you enjoyed my talking 😊 thanks for commenting to let me know🙏 well done on the run, I hope you get the running bug 🙌🏻

Started using this warmup before runs after continually dealing with sore calf’s after runs. Haven’t had any calf issues in the last 2 months!

That’s amazing to hear. So glad it’s helped 😊

I have been suffering with a hip flexor issue for about a month now, I have tried all sorts to ease the issue I came across your warm up and followed it to the letter, I have just come back from a 7 and half k run and pleased to say I didn’t experience any pain for the first time in a month !! 👍

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s amazing, so great to hear this helped your hip flexors. Thanks so much for that 👍🏻😊

[@crystalmoses1548]

I am new to running and I find your videos very helpful. I never thought about how the hips work in relation to running. Thanks! 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Crystal, I appreciate your comment 👍🏻😊

[@Sade4life]

Thank you so much 😊 this stretching helped me run consistently without any pain. I used the 5 min post-run stretch, and I feel great 😊☀️ I’m truly grateful.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you liked it Sade 👍 thank you too for commenting 😊

I got stress fractures in both my legs and found out literally a day before i was supposed to run in regionals. I felt absolutely defeated and didn’t run the entire summer. this was about 3 months ago and this morning was my first run and i feel great! Thank you for this video!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks for sharing that. Good luck as you come back to running. Well done for caring for your body with this 🙌🏻😊
