Lower Body Strength Session for Runners at home

[@Sophia-xv4fn]

Amazing! I’m on track to be a D1 Runner, 2,4,8- and i like doing these after workouts. Thank you, keep making these- blessings. ❤

[@ImThatCrazyCatWoman]

After my knees and ankles felt weak in the last two miles of my last half marathon, I decided I need to invest more in lower body strength work. Thanks Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too, I appreciate you taking time to comment 🙏 well done on putting the strength work in to prepare your body😊

[@TheDaveywavey64]

Thankyou Ash . My daughter and i have found your channel .. much preferable the videos where the instructor speaks.

[@victortoh1903]

Thank you this was really good for me. My left leg has always been weak and until I did this I didn’t realise how much weaker my left was compared to my right side. Will keep doing these as I continue my new running lifestyle.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much Victor. I really appreciate your comment 🙏😀

[@lilsismowry4277]

Hey Ash! I've been watching your videos before and after every run. I'm a new runner but played volleyball for 8 years which destroyed my right knee. I'm already seeing a difference in my pain from your videos. Thank you! 🙏

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

So glad this helped you and my videos are part of your routine. I appreciate your comment. Thank you too 🙏😊

[@jaimiwright259]

Hello from Australia! Going to be doing this one regularly to build up lower body strength which is where I have the most trouble. I have also started the free 7 day programme. Thanks again! :)

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wonderful! Thank you too Jaimi and greetings to Australia from the UK. I appreciate your comment 🙏😊

[@beckytaylor6885]

Love the balance elements! This adds variety to more "traditional" weight workouts and is SO important as we get older and balance is compromised.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely Becky!! Balance is so important and we can expect it to get worse as we age unfortunately so it is essential we keep active with it and not let it get worse 👍🏻😊

[@michadrozd2912]

great session, thanks!

[@deanwilliams5913]

Thank you, doing a half marathon in 6-7 weeks. started to do long pace run and my left knee has started to hurt once cooled down. These exercises will really help along with the other Knee strength section . thank you for taking the time to post these videos.👍

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you enjoy them Dean! Thank you too for commenting 🙏 good luck with your training😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much for hat Lily. I’m so happy my videos can help you 🙏😊

[@annecoleman5502]

Hi Ash, thank you for this strength session, it’s amazing. I’m coming back from an ITB syndrome so I’m not able to run for a while, but once The physio is happy I want to get moving again. This workout will be perfect in helping me gain back my strength and power in my legs and feet. I’ve just recently discovered your channel and I’m so happy I did, I’ve been watching lots of your workouts and I have to say they are all so good and I can’t wait to start doing them myself!! You have given me hope that I will be able to get back to fitness and be able to run again. So grateful for you 🤗

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much for sharing that with me Anne. Well done on having a positive mindset. That will definitely help your recovery back to fitness 🙌🏻😊

[@katievincent5124]

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Happy to help Geraldine 🙌🏻😊

[@areegemarah4906]

I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon your channel! Thank you so much! Have chronic knee pain which keeps preventing me from running so I want to use this as a method to get better. Thanks!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad it was helpful for your knees! Thank you too for commenting your feedback🙏😊

[@wthomas4113]

Great stretching , nearly slipped a few times I blame that on my balance.. thanks for the great video ash many thanks.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Balance is where the gains are for sure! Running is a single leg exercise so if you can strengthen balance you’ll definitely make improvements in your running 😊

[@thejays4640]

Great strength session - thanks Ash! I definitely need to do more of this!

[@kathy-annjoseph1874]

Trying to get back into running and to 10 minute mile. This is super helpful. Thx Ash.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks a lot for that Kathy-Ann, I really appreciate it 🙏😊

[@tracyheim6242]

Love these videos. The best body weight exercises and yoga for runners that I’ve found on KZbin.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Awesome! Thank you so much Tracy. Glad you like them 🙏😊

[@JackieKetchel]

This is an amazingly simple and effective workout for my knee. I’m not a runner (knees say NO) but I found myself with the same pain symptoms of runners knee. I found this workout and in a little over a week I’m able to not only do all of the balance bits. , my knee is noticeably more stable. Thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks a lot for that Jackie, I really appreciate it 🙏😊

[@daveweeden]

Thank you, Ash. Did this in lieu of a run this morning. Feel I should do much more of this (as well as more running). Think I'd have run better if I'd discovered all this 30 years ago.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No problem Dave. Great to see you in the comments as always 😊 this strength work is essential your right, I strength train twice a week. It’s not only good for our running but our day-to-day movement and strength 👍🏻

[@patrickdelatorre3931]

Such a good workout feels great and I feel the imbalances in my body while doing it. Now I know what to focus on

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s great to hear this helped you learn about your body Patrick, I’m glad you enjoy my sessions 😊 thanks for commenting 🙏

[@FlorianG-q1b]

Thanks Ash! This was great for a day where I was struggling to find the motivation to move my body

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too, I appreciate your comment to let me know I could help 👍🏻😊

[@RebeccaJones-eu9sb]

I loved doing this, thank you so much! I like how my core is activated throughout the session, and that I'm working on my balance. Working the arches is great, many videos I've seen don't mention them. Now for your core strength set 😀

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great job Rebecca, well done for feeling that activation and working on it 👍🏻😊

[@karenfigiel7273]

[@corinnanather456]

Ash, I have a question about your strenght workouts, which are really helpful and easy to follow! I like the way you explain everything in detail! I would like to know your thoughts about using weight for strenght training. Do you think it is necessary for runners to use weights as well or does everything work with bodyweight?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I do use both. I always start all of my newbie clients on bodyweight for a good 3 months to be able to properly master the exercises before adding weight. If you don’t master the exercises and activate correct muscles then you could end up creating compensations that lead to injury.
