thanks for this

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're welcome Olly, thanks for commenting 🙏😊

[@carrot-lime]

Great video!!! Can’t remember a time when my IT band hasn’t been right and painful after an intense run. Thanks so much! Love your content!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Many many thanks for that 👍🏻😊

[@zingzingerr]

Thank you for the video Ash, really helpful. I’ve not long started running and was having some it band pain on my left side/knee and this has been effective in relieving the pain post run🙌🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing Nicole!! Thank you for stretching along and leaving a comment to let me know that it is helping your IT band. Lots more to come! 😀

[@nataniaesterhuizen778]

I always love the reminders to S M I L E 😅 Thanks for the video Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome! So glad you enjoyed this stretch with me and the reminders to smile 😊 thanks for commenting 🙌🏻

[@garydaniels4934]

Love this. Usually do first two standing stretches in the morning either before or after your other warm ups to get at that pesky TFL.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That's a great idea Gary 👍🏻 thanks for commenting 😊

[@edwardwarren7082]

Thanks for the video Ash - it does feel like I have new legs

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great to hear Edward, thanks for commenting to let me know 🙏

[@ourblessedtribe9284]

The seated stretch 7 - 8 minutes in hit the spot! Thank you so much for sharing. I didn't even know where my IT band was until I started running.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Fantastic, so glad this helped you as always. The IT band is an unsung hero of our upper legs. Definitely needs some loving. 😊

[@mayorjua123456]

Thanks for the video, Ash. Greetings from Colombia

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hi to Colombia Juan from the UK!! I appreciate you stretching with me and leaving a comment, thank you too!

[@michellesleaford4748]

I love this stretch as my right IT band aches a lot particularly during the night. Do you recommend any pre run it band warm ups? It’s very hilly where I live and run. Thank you Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I’d actually stretch your hips and glutes too Michelle and strengthen the glutes. Especially the glute medius which is right near the hip. That muscle plays a big role in IT band issues believe it or not. I have glute strength and stretch session last on here 👍🏻😊

[@michellesleaford4748]

Really glad I found this one, will be doing it daily. Thankyou again Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s great to hear Michelle, thank you so much as always 🙏😊

[@saskiascott8181]

Thank you Ash I love your content so much, the gentle approach to helping and caring for the body is so beautiful and I love your explanations about the reasons for everything - Im the sort of person who likes to know why!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much Saskia, I really appreciate that 👍🏻😊

[@hannahscott1245]

Thanks for the video :) I'm still very new to running and really appreciate finding videos of information to help ease my sore and tight muscles!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You’re very welcome Hannah. I appreciate your comment. Thank you🙏 so glad I could help you 😊

[@tiffanymorales6392]

Thanks Ash, really needed this after my half-marathon today!! 😅

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Tiffany, so glad you enjoyed this stretch with me after your half marathon 😊 massive well done on that 🙌🏻🎉🎉🎉

[@JulieCunnane]

Another great video, thanks Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing!! Thanks Julie, so glad it was helpful, I appreciate you stretching with me and taking the time to comment! 🙏😀

[@eddieobrien6960]

Cheers Ash, just discovered your channel. I’m new to running and have been having some IT band issues which I think is partly down to lack of flexibility and mobility. So glad I’ve found your channel as I have never done any stretching or yoga before so being able to do it along with you in real time is so convenient! Hopefully this will help some of my tightness in my knee

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Welcome to my channel Eddie, thanks for joining my KZbin community 🙌🏻 absolutely if you work on IT band it’s the muscles coming off it that cause the tightness, I have a specific video below for it 👍🏻 thanks for your comment to introduce yourself, keep me updated with your progress 🙏😊kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ_Fi4Suhrqpjc0si=EFV1t8b5HzvQPQT8

[@bendavison5155]

Really useful, IT band been causing me nightmares. Thank you.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

A big thank you to you too Ben for stretching with me and posting a comment!

[@chrisgreen3483]

Great video. Thanks as always for the helpful content

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You’re welcome Chris😊 Thank you too for commenting, glad you enjoyed this stretch with me and it was useful for you😊🙌🏻

[@DonOrner-j7e]

Thank you, Lots of pain in the left side as I am doing the movements but right now the outer thigh feels pretty good. Have a good night.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Sounds like it could be that issue that you have been experiencing then Don. Hopefully this video helps you bring some suppleness back into that area 👍🏻 have a good evening too 😊

[@christophejanot12]

Well explaihed as usual. Gave some of these a try before but they seem to work better here. Thanks, exactly what i needed to do today

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You’re welcome as usual Christophe, thank you for your comment again 😊 I’m glad this video was useful for you and just what you needed 👍🏻🏃‍♂️🧘‍♂️

[@harveykirk3447]

Your videos have helped me so much on my recovery after running thank you

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You are so welcome Harvey, that’s really cool that I’ve helped your recovery 😊 well done for putting the time in to recover properly and thanks for commenting to let me know 🙏

[@lesleypratap8958]

Hi Ash, just found this one, but really struggled with the crossed leg thing. I can't get my legs crossed like that and sit upright😢 it's very uncomfortable. I appreciated the other exercises though 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

It definitely sounds like you have tightness in your hips then Lesley. It will take lots of work but they will get better 👍🏻

[@lesleypratap8958]

@@RunBetterwithAsh I know my hips are really tight 😥 and for that reason I do shy away from the difficult exercises and positions, which is probably the wrong thing to do 😣

[@DonOrner-j7e]

Thanks again, I think I was able to get a little deeper into the stretches.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Excellent Don, hopefully you start to notice the difference soon then 🙌🏻 you are one of my top commenters, I appreciate your support 🙏😊

New favorite post run stretch! I have tight gluts!!! I love your explanations! You are a blessing, Ash! Thank you for this video!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome as ever Chantel. Glad you like the explanation and can feel that its your glutes that are likely causing the tightness in that area, great body awareness! I appreciate you 🙏😀

[@davidbroxterman5624]

Ash this is great thank you so much. I've already did my long run for today and your long run post run video but I will definitely be doing this practice after tomorrow's recovery run and then often after that!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s ace David! So glad this video is going to be helpful for you 👍🏻 Hopefully you’ll start to notice a difference, go easy and try to avoid overstretching the area. Think ‘healing’ mindset 😊🏃‍♂️
