Morning Ritual: 10 Min Energising Yoga for Runners

[@s4119416]

I had to have a little giggle at the reminders against comparison and not to push too hard. Runners are clearly the same worldwide. Thanks!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely!!! We do like to push too far sometimes 😂

[@giuseppevasta6996]

I’ve always underestimated the importance of stretching. Being with you every morning for the past two months has transformed me physically and mentally. I have to thank my girlfriend for suggesting your videos. It’s just amazing, thank you.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you like my videos Giuseppe 👍 thank you so much for commenting your kind words 😊

[@sarahdemul]

Love a wake up routine, this is perfect for the tens mins I have in the mornings before the household wakes up!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I totally agree Sarah and if you can get it in before everyone is awake even better! thanks for commenting!

[@thejays4640]

Thanks for the video. Nice way to start the day. Feeling energised now!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing, thanks! That’s so good to hear you felt energised after this 🙏😊

[@rrrares]

I am currently training for a marathon and I recently discovered your channel. I am watching and doing your practices and my body and mind never felt better. Thank you Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

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

[@gwiazdeczka2003]

Thank you! Have a good Monday and rest of the week ❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you! Same to you 😊 I appreciate you ❤️

[@sleepdestroyer27]

Great way to start the day, especially after having a cold all last week 😩 Happy to wake up the runny honey!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Good morning! Sorry to hear about your cold. Hope you have a great day 😊

[@yvetteflowers111]

Loving the morning stretching routines!! Pls do more of these !!! ❤❤❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I appreciate that you notice that Trish, thank you 🙏

[@chiaraferraris9622]

Perfect for a Monday morning after racing on Sunday. I combined this with the other “morning yoga” video for a good 20min stretch. Thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Perfect! I appreciate you stretching with me and commenting as usual Chiara, thank you 🙏😀

[@HutchyvlogsUk93]

Thanks for the stretch Ash. I’ve hurt my hip so have been doing morning stretches as I recover and this was perfect ☺️

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No problem, glad it was helpful for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for commenting as usual🙏😊

[@bdiesing]

Thanks again for a great stretch to start my day. I am participating in an 8K this morning, in just a little under 4 hours from now. I’m not competing against anyone but myself. This will be my first race as an adult. I’m really just doing it to have fun and enjoy myself. Your videos have been helping me stay loose and limber and really get my body feeling great. I really appreciate your videos, Ash! Keep them coming. I’m looking forward to coming home and watching another post run stretch.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I appreciate you stretching with me and leaving such a positive comment Bradley, thank you! Your support means a lot to me. I hope you had a good 8km run. You have a fantastic attitude to have, compete against yourself and you will constantly seek self improvement and not be brought down by the negativity of the comparing mind. Lots more to come in 2024!!

[@bdiesing]

@@RunBetterwithAsh just wanted to reach out and share my progress. I completed 180 out of 400+ participants. My time was just under 50 minutes. I couldn't be more proud of myself. Thank you for your encouragement! Now it's time to do my post run stretching. See you soon.

[@boluakinola5002]

As always, lovely session! My back was killing me so loved the focus early which helped loosen my back. I have been experiencing some tightness around my elbow and curious if any other runners are experiencing this or have any stretches to help target that area. Thanks!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I really love reading your comments Boluwatife. It's great to hear how they fit into your schedule and what is happening with you. So glad this helped loosen your back, it is a very common area of issues because of our modern day habits of sitting and not strengthening the area enough. With regards to your elbow, this could be muscle tightness or potential nerve issue or you could have tennis elbow issue? Lots of potential things it could be, if it persists I would get it checked out. Thanks as always for your comments

[@bakerboy2402]

Another awesome Video, didn’t use it as a wake up but rather to stretch out the hips and groin but can definitely see this being a perfect way to start the day. Have you got a video that focuses on the quads and general thigh area, managing a slight tightness and feel like I need a really good stretch of the the thighs/quads

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you as always 🙏😊 I actually haven’t got a quad stretch video, I have a client suffering similar at the moment too. I will get onto this. Will be a few weeks though as I’m well organised on filming and have videos scheduled for 4 weeks 👍🏻

[@rachelleo8881]

Thank you

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Rachelle as always 😊 I appreciate you commenting 🙏

[@01lsw]

I like this morning stretch a lot. I wondered if we also need to stretch the quad as well as part of this routine. Also, my right TFL feels swelling, especially when I do the knee hug. Any idea how to release that part? I’ve been rolling it with a ball for more than a week but it is still tight. I bet it is related to my recent training on my 5K pace which is new to me as a marathoner.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Yes it could be related to that. Could be inflammation which would need to settle down. If the issue continues I would suggest getting it looked at before it develops further. I couldn’t give much more on that without seeing it in person unfortunately sorry.
