Bedtime Stretch for Runners

[@francissales488]

Would love to see more of these bedtime/relaxation stretch sessions!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing, thanks Francis! That’s so good to hear you enjoy this type of stretch. Will be doing more for sure 🙏😊

[@valeriebloomfield4411]

Ash, you are a life saver! I ran 8 miles at lunchtime but also had quite a stressful day, finishing work at 7:30pm. I found it impossible to relax so doing this at before bed was the perfect way to unwind. Thank you! 🤩

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad it helped you wind down Valerie! Thank you too, I appreciate your comments as ever 🙌😀

[@paulasirb3888]

I run everyday about 4km and 5km. I prefer easy runs; still, last morning I woke up with some pain in my thighs. Why? Because I ignored post-run streching exercises. Last night was my first time streching after a run and this morning I felt much better, energised. Never ever shall I ignore streching again. Thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're very welcome Paula 😊 thank you for taking the time to comment after stretching with me to let me know🙏 well done for having the body awareness to notice the difference and make the commitment to your body to continue to stretch 🙌🏻

[@minweilee3446]

Very relaxing sequence to take the edge off after a strong lower body focused pilates class.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you liked it after pilates Minwei 😀

[@emiliabryce4944]

Thanks for everything Ash! Your videos always save me ❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Emilia. Thank you too. I really appreciate your comment 🙏😊❤️

[@DonOrner-j7e]

Thanks, may you have a good day!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks too Don. I really appreciate your comments and being here so often stretching with me🙏😊

[@Flynchpstx]

Thank you. Stuck all day at work today and not able to run. Found this and helped me wind down.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed this stretch with me 👍🏻 I appreciate you commenting, thanks 🙌🏻

[@KatieSmith-c9q]

I didn't stretch after my runs the last 3 days and I can really feel it. This was a perfect find just before bed and I feel much better already, thanks, as always Ash! So appreciated.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for that Katie🙏😊

[@Flo.B.]

Just got in from a night run, you have to squeeze them in whenever you can don’t you, even if it is half 10 at night! 🌙As you know by now, I hate running in the dark! 👀👻😂Anyway run & shower done, and I’ve just done this very relaxing stretch in my pjs so I can literally just jump into bed!😂Finally! 😍😴Thanks Ash as always, hope you have had a good day & run! 💖

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

😂 wow, 10.30pm and you don't even like night running Flo!! Well at least you got your run in and like you say, sometimes you have to just do it whenever 😀❤

[@splendidcyan]

I'm slowly making my way through your channel. As I've gotten into running, I've found I need two post-run stretching sessions-- a bit of relaxation immediately after, and then a longer, deeper session later on (the advice I read recommended an hour later, but I'm usually more like 6-10 hours later since I run midmorning and stretch again before bed). If I don't do the extra session, I'm suuuuper sore the next day or two and it's especially rough when I want to run again! It's so fun, I actively look forward to it like a kid excited to leave school to play video games! But if my body is in pain I gotta let it rest, ya know? Anyway, your videos have been my absolute favorite for my deeper stretching sessions. You demonstrate some deeper feeling stretches and they just release any soreness after my day and I can melt into bed. So thank you! I just followed along with a different stretching video of yours and am now cozy in bed but I'm 90% sure the algo likes comments on newer videos? Sooo you're getting this comment on this video instead- excited to follow along with this one tomorrow!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Aww thank you soo much for your amazing feedback. I love to read how my videos fit into people’s life and schedule. This is so humbling. Hope you had a good rest after this stretch. Have a great weekend 🙌🏻😊

[@Runveryfar]

Another great video. Thank you

[@MrGluck69]

Thanks Ash - great way to end my day

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much as ever. I really appreciate that 🙏😊

[@DonOrner-j7e]

Thank you, may your day be a goood one!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you Don, you too😊

[@paolawalker6588]

Very nice stretching before bed 😊. I am trying to have a relaxing night as I am running my first marathon even tomorrow!! Thanks for your stretching videos. They make me feel relaxed and free injured

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much Paola. Glad I could help you wind down for bed before your marathon. Good luck tomorrow 🙌🏻😊

[@genevieveduplaincyr657]

Oh Ash this video meets me in the right place. I sprained my ankle 10 days ago and I finally took 4 days off running so I can heal. But I find it so hard to stop, I'm almost a little bit depressed ! This little stretching before sleep made me realize how much I need those resting days to come back stronger. Thank you as always!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You are so welcome Genevieve, thank you for commenting to let me know this was right for you 🙏well done for staying active and caring for your body when feeling depressed. Exercise is a great tool to help as well as sharing and talking to people. I am talking from experience having suffered on and off from depression throughout my adult life. I hope you get the support you deserve 😊

[@hanssaunders3490]

Thanks for this, Ash. I’m usually almost asleep right at the end when you start talking about subscribing!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

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

[@dorothysullivan7101]

You are right on time, my friend. I forgot to do stretching today. I told myself that I need to do a bedtime yoga. And your video was in my queue. Thanks, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Perfect! Thanks too Dorothy! Glad I could help you with this one to wind down😊

[@emilygoestochina]

Thanks for the relaxing video, Ash! I'm not sure if we're allowed requests, but I'd love more bedtime sequences to motivate me to stretch before bedtime even on non-running days. Good night! 😴

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great suggestion and totally appreciated Emily. Thank you as always 👍🏻😊

[@s_takapucci]

After a bit of a hiatus, I am getting back into running and it feels fantastic. Always feel better after a run, and even better when I stretch. Thanks for these videos, they have been really helpful for me, as I transition back.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing, thanks! That’s so good to hear my stretches are helping you as you return to running 🙏 hope your return goes well😊

[@michellesleaford4748]

Feeling relaxed after two sessions, thankyou Ash, good night

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wonderful! Well done for double session with me Michelle 😊

[@paracelcious]

I'm VERY new to running, i just started training in January and am running my first half marathon this Sunday in early May. Just wanted to say THANK YOU, I've been using your pre and post run stretches for a few months now and the only times when I've flet extra sore or had minor injuries have been when i skipped them. I've shared them with my friends who are also running with me and we all love them. Thank you.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Oh wow, that’s so cool to read. Thank you so much and good luck with your first half-marathon. Well done for taking on the challenge, I’m glad I could help you have a good stretch over the last few months 😊 thanks for commenting to let me know🙏

[@rosalieworld8386]

Thank you. Perfect!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks too Rosalie! Glad I could help you with this one 😊 hope you’re getting back towards full fitness.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you Lorraine. Will get onto making more of these for sure 🙌🏻😊

[@ourblessedtribe9284]

Thank you, this after a hot bath the night before my marathon has been so good for the pre race jitters. This might be an odd question but your voice is so reassuring, I'm wondering if you could do a short video for during a race or long run when you hit the "wall" Coaching the runner through that emotional breaking point. I haven't hit the wall yet myself but I have heard all about it from others.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s a fantastic idea and something I was going to do a video on as a few people have mentioned this lately. It will probably be more in a vlog style I would say. Good luck with the marathon 👍🏻

[@aliT12345]

Liked this one, agree with other comments about more bedtime stretches!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you, will get onto that this week Alice 😊

Thank you

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're very welcome Don 🙌🏻

[@deborahcorker]

Thanks Ash. 3 weeks before the Bleinheim triathlon I went to the course and went a bit mad today. Some nasty hills of a gradient I'm not used to, so after your glutes and hips stretch, this bedtime stretch was a perfect finisher. Would love to see a longer one for, like 25mins for daft race days when you do things that perhaps you wouldn't normally do, if you know what I mean. 🙂

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s great to hear that this helped you balance out the intensity of your nasty hills session Deborah 😊 so glad I could help you as you prep for Blenheim training, thanks for stretching with me and commenting 🙏🙌🏻

[@tracyirwin8681]

absolutely loved this stretch after a 6 mile walk today, I'm going to try and make this part of my evening routine, it'll be so helpful. Thank you so much!

Hey Ash, I’ve been away from your videos the last couple weeks recovering from carpal tunnel surgery. Back to running now and looking for wrist free stretch sessions. Any particular videos you’d recommend? Thanks for this one. I did reclined pigeon using one hand to pull my legs in. I’ve also done it with just using my leg strength.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Really sorry to hear about your wrist Lori. I hope it can be rehabbed soon. Generally the thumbnails gives an idea of the type of stretch in the video. So a standing picture usually is standing stretches.
