How NICO YOUNG STRETCHES and Prepares for a run

In this video, we take a look at how Nico young chooses to stretch before a run, this video is not affiliated with NAU, or Newbury park. This is simply what Nico does before a run. The methods Nico outlines in the video are a great way to properly prepare for a run so that your muscles and tendons are ready.

Can't wait for this one, all the Young brothers (Nico, Leo, and Lex) will all be in the Olympics in 2028, or maybe even in 2024!

Video Ideas for you guys 1. What you typically do for recovery (what you do if you get shin splints and/or what you do to prevent them) 2. What you guys eat on a normal day and the day before the race and the day of the race 3. Best way(s) to pass the time on long run days (because those are so boring) 4. What type of core and/or lifting workouts do you guys do 5. How you guys display your ribbons/medals/trophies for track and xc

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Great ideas, def will make some of these

Yes!!! Finally an L&L upload! Feels like forever! 🥳🥳🔥🔥👌👍

Thanks for the video gentlemen. Well done. I've been doing these before my runs and they've been really helpful as I've started running again following back surgery. All the best to you both.

[@annacarlson3034]

these are the exact stretches our best senior runner taught me the first day of practice

[@alexeihensel6257]

For the second hamstring stretch you're supposed to point your toes up once you're at the top and then release

[@andrewsmith3037]

Get Nico to start a channel!!! It could be similar to yours or Charles Hicks and a lot of people would really like that.

Leo was the best part of the video 😩😩

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Thanks lad - Leo

[@Chricore]

Hi guys! Great videos thanks! I am a little 30 something hobby jogger from Austria trying to improve. May I ask. Do you do these stretches before every run or only before workouts/competitions? I guess you follow up with some ABC skippings etc? Also do you do skippings/ABC before every run? Thanks in advanve and all the best for your future! BR, Chris

[@greatvalue2887]

You guys should collab with sweat elite for a workout video

[@gabbyblood277]

Can y'all do a video on diet. Stretching and weight training if you do it?

[@ivanmarin-padilla1609]

Nice video I hope Colin runs a 3:59 on Saturday January 22

[@Self-Duality]

Thank you for producing this awesome content - I had a very vivid dream (recently) in which Nico ran 12:56 for 5000m - he looked to be fresh out of college (no older than 23/24). Don’t call it a “premonition”, but I truly think Nico has sub-13 capacity… and so do you: Lex and Leo - 😇🤝😇

[@lucasmartin351]

People may call it crazy but some of us eat, sleep, breath (and dream) of running all day every day

Nice

[@nateegivens]

what are some of the other more dynamic stretches yall do in lines? or is it the standard ones such as high knees, etc.?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Maybe we'll make a video on this. Its mostly just toe touches, some knee pulls, some squat things, and more. Like all excersises its very difficult to describe in words.

[@nathansimon6168]

Hey l&l quick question. I noticed that Leo isn’t running at the Arizona meet coming up. Is he just taking time off or is he injured?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Yes he had a small injury, but he’s back running now. The next video will cover more on this.

[@dauntesmiles9022]

Have you ever heard of Webb City XC

[@TheAcademicweapon]

Where could I get the rope

[@alexlewis1804]

Quick question, do these dynamic stretches help strengthen any muscles?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

I would guess not, as the purpose is to prepare them for exercise. But I am not a Doctor so I can’t say for sure.

[@unpricedwings7578]

What ropes are good to use for these warmups?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

We use a 5/8 inch braided rope that’s roughly 6ft long, but any strong thick rope will due.

[@andrewsmith3037]

When you guys do easy runs like this, do you focus on heart Rate or just run to feel?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

We don’t focus on heart rate, we judge it by pace and how our bodies feel.

[@John-lq7fi]

Do you guys do doubles every day?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

No, we only ever run at most 3 doubles a week. Typically 1-2.

[@glodimvovi2345]

Intro song?

[@andrewsmith3037]

Do you do these before races?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

We do a variation of this routine, but this definitely would be a great routine to do.

[@xcantrell]

where did you get the stretching ropes?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Any hardware store. We use a 5/8 inch braided rope that’s roughly 6ft long, but any strong thick rope will due.

[@BeccaDeeeee]

Hey, isn't this from The Whartons Stretch Book?

[@brandons7950]

Would you guys supplement this with some dynamic stretching before runs?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

This is still considered dynamic stretching since your legs are always moving.

[@brandons7950]

@@LLexandleovloggs thanks, I’ll definitely try this out before my runs and see how I like it

[@Meuzix]

[@nickdudle3385]

Does he not do static stretching? I have heard different things on whether static stretching is good or bad for runners.

[@LLexandleovloggs]

We try not to do any static stretching before we run. From what I’ve heard dynamic stretching primes ur muscles better.

[@nickdudle3385]

@@LLexandleovloggs What about static stretching after a run? Also, I was at the RunningLane meet and you guys did amazing!

[@benanastasoff8980]

@@LLexandleovloggs that’s the exact same methodology my high school coach would always teach. Dynamic is better at priming muscles to perform. Additionally, static has been found in a number of instances to cause microtearing which may result in injury over time

[@williamolsen1089]

Tom Swartz, also says something about this

[@zaydxn2735]

@@nickdudle3385Many research has proven that static stretching is not beneficial at all, especially before runs. Static after might somewhat help but has been proven that dynamic/active stretching is the way to go

Is this before or after the warmup run?
