After Running Stretches for Tight Calves

[@christopherlee7764]

After watching your pre and post run stretches, not only do my runs feel much easier, but I’ve found that I’ve increased my running distance by quite a bit. Thank you.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s amazing, your body must becoming more supple and elastic and getting more out of your range of motion. The consistent work is paying off Christopher, well done 👍🏻😊🙌🏻

[@emmadenis7958]

This just hit the spot after my easy run that wasn’t nice on my calves , thanks a lot x

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Emma 😊 I’m so happy it hit the spot, there’s lots more to come from my channel to help you stretch, thanks for commenting 🙏

[@annasheils9116]

Thanks again Ash! Been running jumping & skipping last few weeks & ignoring the good old stretches so ended up with really tight calves. This video has gave me Instant relief! Much appreciated 🙏

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're very welcome as usual Anna. Thanks for letting me know this helped your tight calves 🙌🏻😊

[@AveryHeal]

Wow wow wow. I just ran my 5th 5k and before I hadn’t trained that much.I have been limping and it been hurting walk.This really really helped.New subscriber!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing! I appreciate your comment, thank you so much 😀

[@JennyBasnett]

Had tight calf muscles after my 10k so felt I needed this today. Its eased the pressure thank you. Enjoy listening to your tips and facts. Learning about the muscles and when to use these stretches is really helpful. Thank you

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you liked this one Jenny! so glad I could help you stretch and recover properly after your 10k, thanks for stretching with me and commenting 🙏🙌🏻

[@jasonhagerman4708]

Awsome vid. After a week af my calfs feeling tight this helped a lot.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I appreciate that Jason, I’m glad you enjoyed this stretch. Thanks for commenting to let me know 🙏😀

[@jildou97]

Great stretch for the calves. Really enjoy how my body feels afterwards!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great to hear, so glad your calves feel better after this, they do so much work for our body they deserve it 😊 thanks as always for your support in the comments 🙏

[@pistashleyo5897]

That elevated stretch on the block just changed my life 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing, glad it helped you. Thank you for stretching with me and commenting 🙏😊

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

Great add on stretches to previous stretching routine , thanks Ash 👌

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

My pleasure as always Colin, its nice to give the calves a good stretch isn't it!!

[@robindonaldson2736]

Your videos are amazing. I needed a video for a tight calf muscle. I sprained my right ankle, which is now better, but I think it caused my left calf muscle to become tight after running. Your videos are the only videos that (1) have very dynamic stretches!! (2) always do both sides equally, and (3) show you exactly in real time how long to do each exercise, rather than say "Go and do that for 1 minute" and then cut away.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hey Robin! That’s amazing to read, thank you so much for stretching with me and commenting your kind words. I really appreciate it🙏😊

[@CoraKruger]

Another great one! Thanks for the video, Ash! Excited for tomorrow's already :)

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks Cora. I will see you tomorrow 🙌🏻😊

[@elliesmith1752]

Thanks Ash. Only just started running after a calf injury and already feeling more confident about easing back into it ❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

[@doreenferrante392]

Thanks Ash! Added this on to your post run stretch of 10/20 that I did after my run today . Finally made 5 miles today 😊 and wanted to do something extra to 'thank' my body . Slow and steady comeback continuing and because of your videos today's 5 miles seemed pretty easy! Looking forward to the upcoming videos!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

[@Flo.B.]

Was hoping you had some stretches for the calves, mine were feeling a bit tight today, I don't think they liked the extra hill I did on my run last night! 😂 Anyway this video has helped massively to ease them, thanks as always Ash! 💖

I did this in the morning after noticing my calves were still tight from a tough run yesterday. Now, I’m feeling refreshed.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much Alicia, that’s so good to hear 👍🏻😊

[@TK-Leftyy]

cheers for the video ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you too for commenting 🙏😊

[@tracyirwin8681]

This is great, first time I've done this exercise it's really effective and very interesting to learn the names of the different muscles in the calf and what they do. Thank you will definitely use this exercise regularly.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks Tracy, this is meant as a nice addition to the other ones if you need to focus on some calf stretches. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Rhapsodie222]

This was so relaxing, I swear I'm going to fall asleep in my shower after those stretch

Thank you very much for the recommendation 🙏 After I wrote my comment on your video, I did a 33.5 k long run in the Asics Novablast 4. So I’ll need that video here very much 😃👌

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Jendrik! Glad it was helpful for your recovery after yoru 33.5k long run, well done on that!! I appreciate you stretching with me and commenting again, thank you too 🙏😀

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

[@kiwikiwifruitfruit]

Thank you so much for this! The first exercise was really really hard for me but the last one I barely felt anything - are they working different muscles? I was always told I had very short calf muscles

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks 😊 Glad you enjoyed this stretch with me. Thank you for your kind words 🙏 yes one stretch works the inner part and the other works the middle to outer part as we have two main muscles in the calf area.

[@ellieahmad486]

Thank you so much. I will incorporate it in my work out. ❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Ellie, hope it helps ❤️

I literally don’t know if I’m not steching my calves correctly. But I just run 20k this Sunday it was great then Monday hit 4k then did leg day and today I couldn’t barely run. My calves itch so much

Gosh!! I’m not surprised you don’t know what’s happening with your legs, well done for being so active 👍🏻😊
