Thank you! I didn’t feel motivated to go running today, but I told myself I can’t do a stretch with Ash unless I do my run, so that got me moving! Love your stretching videos! 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Love that, thanks so much for letting me know my stretch helped motivate you to run. Thank you as ever 😊

[@sleepdestroyer27]

You can always stretch with Ash even on non-run days, but knowing you pulled through and have this reward after is very motivating, indeed! Has definitely gotten me out there on some crummy weather days that ended up being stellar runs.

[@jenmrosa]

My hamstrings have been sore after my last couple of runs so this stretch was much needed. Thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome as always. Glad this helped your hammies 😊

[@roxanagutierrezbolanos4197]

Hi Ash, I’ve been following your videos while training for the Athens marathon, and wow - they’ve made such a difference! Not only have I stayed injury-free, but my body recovers so well thanks to your amazing stretches. I can’t thank you enough for all the helpful content! 🎉❤ Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing! Thanks so much for that Roxana. It's great to hear my videos have helped your recovery in training for your marathon. Hope its going well 🙌 greetings to Mexico from England 😀

[@allenlockwood1317]

Ash - I completed a full Ironman a couple of weeks ago. I attribute your videos for not having any pain or injuries during training. Thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s amazing, well done Allen!! 🎉🎉🎉I’m glad you enjoy my stretches and they have helped you through that training block 🙌🏻😊 thanks for commenting as always🙏

[@grahambales5700]

Ran a hard special endurance workout on grass today, so my legs, body, and mind needed this badly today. Thanks so much Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome as ever Graham. Thank you too, I appreciate you taking time to comment 🙏😊

[@amygulaszewski2212]

This was a lovely stretch after an enjoyable 8 mile run!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you Amy. So glad you enjoyed this stretch, I appreciate your comment 🙏well done on the 8 miler 😊

[@jens3144]

These are the best stretch videos out there! They have helped me so much!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much for that 🙏😊

[@FionaPlackett]

I'll second that 😊

[@alvedonalvedon]

I attended a 10 km race today and managed to beat my own personal record with a finishing time of 48:57. Really proud of myself. Thank you for helping me stretch afterwards 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Fantastic work, well done on your 10k personal best 👍🏻🎉🎉🎉 glad I could help your recovery after it 😊

[@minweilee3446]

Lovely class! I liked rocking back and forth in the super wide lizard pose. Half frog with the quad stretch was also great, again, had to lift the thigh off the mat to feel it. The cue to point and flex the foot in half split was good, I went a step further and did ankle rotations in both directions while doing so and that felt amazing. The clicking in my ankle went away after rotations in the opposite direction. Thanks, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wonderful! So many sessions of mine today Minwei. Thank you. Have a lovely weekend 😊

[@geddmann]

I love the continued content. I started running again recently and your yoga and stretching videos have been a blessing. My knees and ankles no longer hurt on long trail runs and the miles just keep coming. Thanks for what you do and for keeping me going! It's truly appreciated!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate reading your comment 🙏😊

[@melissaferns5858]

You're so welcome Melissa! Glad you liked it 👍 thank you too for commenting 😊

[@mattiaperuffo]

Thanks for the video Ash. I love your style and how you love to explain everything during the exercise. I would love a series of videos (10/15/20 Min) about a back stretch in order to prepare for an office day

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks for the idea and the comment. Will look to add something around this 👍🏻😊

[@nanir8307]

Happy to help as always Natalia. Thank you too, I appreciate you taking time to comment so often🙏😊

Loved this one. Did this after an easy, chatty 5k with a friend on a beautiful autumn day. I’m all set up now, thanks! Have a great day yourself

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

It’s been so lovely hasn’t it. We did the obligatory Hull fair with our girls last night whilst the weather is mild. Have a great day too Lesley 😊

[@beckytaylor6885]

Great stretch! I always need the reminders about relaxing my jaw and smiling.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Me too Becky, that’s why I remind myself too as I say it 😂

[@michellesleaford4748]

Thankyou Ash. Motivation kicked in slowly on run tonight and had a few moments where I felt tired but conquered some hills and felt great afterwards.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Fantastic! Well done for getting out and getting it done when not feeling motivated to get it done, that’s great habit 😊

[@jolieland9651]

Great stretch. Thanks, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing well done on the PB! Thank you too, I always appreciate seeing you in the comments 🙏😊❤️

[@tracyirwin8681]

Morning Ash felt a bit stiff and achy after a 6 mile walk so this stretch was perfect, found it interesting when you said about office workers suffering tight hip flexors that's definitely true! Thanks very much as always and Happy Friday!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Morning Tracy! Happy Friday too 😊 well done on the 6 mile walk 🙌🏻 have a great weekend 👍🏻

[@bartosztobiasz]

Thanks, Ash, as always. I couldn’t ask for a better running coach. I agree with everything you said about “connecting with your body.” Today’s run was full of those kinds of thoughts. I’m sure the way you think can change a lot about your run and your performance. I like to think about pain as “drops of autumn rain,” and while running, I imagine that I barely touch the ground, as if I’m running on a cloud or on cushions. It might sound silly, but why call it silly if it works, haha. Thanks for always reminding me to relax my jaw and shoulders, to keep my intensity at no more than 7 out of 10, and for asking how my run and my day have been so far. I’ve become more mindful about running thanks to your videos. As you mentioned, you had a great run, and so did I.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much for that message. I’m so humbled that you have been able to connect more mindfully to your body whilst running from my videos. I love your thoughts about barely touching the ground. It absolutely is true. I once asked one of my clients to run thinking about work and filmed him and then got him to think about his posture and being light and quick and it totally changed his running form. Just from what he was thinking. Where you allow your mind to go determines our reality doesn’t it. Thanks again for your comments 😊

[@bartosztobiasz]

@@RunBetterwithAsh Your second last sentence is a great quote. It's wonderful to hear something like that from a professional like you. Thank you!

Nice work on taking the transition slowly, that’s the best way for sure. I will add this to my list of videos to do 👍🏻😊

Thanks Ash. That was a great loosener for my quads and hammies which were tighter than I’d realised. Al good now, though!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Good stuff! Glad it helped Delia 👍 thank you too as usual 😊

[@andrewheimburger]

Great video! You are my go-to post run guru 😂

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wow, thanks for that Andrew. Glad I can be your go-to 😊👍🏻

[@rev2177]

Ash, thought about you on my run today! Thinking about stretching to your video post run was like a water in the desert situation. I could see it at the end of my metaphorical tunnel and it kept me thirsty and looking forward. 😂 Great video. Thank you.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

😂 Love that, very poetic! Thank you so much. I really appreciate that 🙏😊

Thanks, Ash (my quads are killing me).

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hope they feel better Catherine. Thanks for commenting as always 😊

[@sleepdestroyer27]

Woof. My long run this weekend was just too intense on the hills and I was not enjoying the 5km climb followed by shifty, rocky downhills. I was so tired when I got home I had to save this for just now and even going gently on it, I still feel tired! Looks like it’s corpse pose with my fluffy pooch for now 🙈 Love a good frog pose, though!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

😂 sometimes a good corpse pose is much needed. Well done on what sounds like a brutal climb 🙌🏻👍🏻😊

[@UltimateAdigaGamer]

Needed that quad stretch for sure, but after the stretch my lower back spine discs felt a bit out of place. Might’ve pushed too hard on that sphinx pose :( but its not permanent so overall great stretch after a less than average run 😂

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great insight, that does sound like exactly what could have happened. That’s great awareness to feel you pushed too far, next time you’ll be cautious of it 👍🏻😊

[@mmnaftzger]
