Perfect after a trail run - relaxed all my stabilizing muscles

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Perfect! I love the trails, that’s where I do most of my running! Glad I could help you stretch after your trail run 🙌🏻😊

[@mrs.sommersberg8428]

I feel like I just won the lottery! Coincidentally the perfect session to recover and reset from yesterday and this morning. There is nothing better than a self-administered massage 😊. Thanks Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wonderful! That’s so good to hear Karen. I will be doing a whole video on self-massage. It’s such an important part of body language. With self-assure all day long without realising it, we can tap into that power of our own touch with self-massage 😊

[@LauraMcCrudden]

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

De rien!! So glad I could help you recover through your training block. Hope the marathon goes well today 👍🏻😊

[@charlieanderson7906]

Thanks for the video Ash, exactly what was need after this evenings half marathon run 🏃🏻‍♂️

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Nice work on the half marathon Charlie, well done 🙌🏻👍🏻 glad I was able to help you recover after it 😊

[@isheyadavie]

That was great. SO needed. Just did my first stride repeats and i really felt it in my hips and thighs, so this was brilliant. I needed a longer one also so decided 20 mins was more needed than an 8 or 10 min stretch. Feeling much more relaxed and less tight now

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wonderful! Thats so good to hear Isheya 😊 so glad you enjoyed the longer than usual stretch and it helped you relax. Well done on incorporating some strides into your runs now, hope they felt ok. 🙌🏻

[@qwerty-ng6sq]

Thank You Ash ❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done on the Brighton Half Marathon yesterday Michelle!!! Hope that went well! So glad your hips felt a ton better after this 😀

[@CAMILLALARSEN]

Love that this one was a little bit longer of a video

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

[@glennnicholls8510]

Thanks Ash. Cold and windy here in milton keynes. It was a good stretch after being blown around on my run

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Good stuff Glenn, those windy, cold runs build character don’t they?!! It’s been freezing up here a little further north today too so I feel your coldness!! Thanks as always for commenting 👍🏻😊

[@user-gv8wf8co6n]

Thanks Ash! About to run half marathon here in Vegas- nice hip opening stretches 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Have a great half marathon in Vegas, sounds amazing 🙌🏻 thanks for commenting to let me know 😊

[@kashee569]

Great stretch, Ash! Just what I needed😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

So glad I could help you stretch as always 😊 glad this was just what you needed 🙌🏻

[@sophiegilles5708]

Thank you for the video focusing on the hips. I really needed this. Unknowingly, your hips can be much stiffer than you might think. I feel like they are a lot less tense after this video.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Sophie! They are an area that we neglect unfortunately due to our modern day sitting habits, I’m glad you could feel less tense after this stretch with me 😊🙌🏻

[@matthiaswachter7882]

Thanks ash. Perfect stretch after my first 15 k today. I love these longer ones!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No worries Matthias, happy I could help you stretch as always 😊 well done on your first 15k 🙌🏻🎉 thanks for commenting as ever 🙏

[@ob-tn8ol]

Thanks Ash, I've been doing these daily for about 2 weeks now and they helping a lot with my tight right hip flexor, before your videos I didn't know what a hip flexor was!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s amazing to hear thank you, so glad my videos have helped your body awareness and you now know what hip flexors are 🙌🏻 glad these are helping 😊

[@Dom_South]

Thanks Ash, enjoyed this one. I did struggle with all the crossed leg exercises though

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You’re very welcome as always Dominic! It can be a challenge those crossed leg ones but it gives something to keep working on 👍🏻😊

[@inneschalmers4943]

Perfect after a cold night at track - 5 x 1k in prep for a race on Saturday. Tx

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hope that session went well Innes. It has suddenly dropped temperature wise hasn’t it, we had a little glimpse of spring and now it’s back to winter!!! Good luck for Saturday 👍🏻😊

[@inneschalmers4943]

Thank you. 1,000 runners competing in the Alan Scally Memorial 4x5k on Glasgow Green. Going to be a blast.@@RunBetterwithAsh

[@kelligillett6312]

Thanks, Ash! I did my first 10k today. This was a great way to end it. :)

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done on your first 10k Kelli 🎉🙌🏻 so glad I could help you stretch after it 😊

[@beau-jcicak3742]

I found this a bit hard to follow along to, I’ve been trying not to judge my body by your body but even when I was using you as a guide through the stretch I couldn’t figure out how to move into some of the positions, and if I was in them, I still wasn’t sure if they were safe and right for me. But I’ve still been left feeling relaxed, I’ll keep trying this one and see if I can slowly but surely figure it out. Thanks for the video ash 🎉

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s very interesting to hear about that. Maybe some of the shapes you are really flexible in and actually can’t feel the stretch. It is totally about figuring out what works for your body and what doesn’t. Sometimes some of the shapes don’t work and can feel like a non-shape. Maybe try again and see but if it doesn’t work I wouldn’t dwell on this one 😊🙌🏻

[@zeevon9]

Thumbs 👍

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I appreciate you stretching with me and commenting as always! Your support means a lot, thumbs up too 😀

[@robinrobin3691]

It's painful on my left side when I first start stretching, but it slowly goes away.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You may have extra tightness in that area Robin.

[@user-rx6rs2cg9x]

Thanks Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No problem! So good to see you stretching with me as always. Thanks too for commenting 😊🙌🏻

[@jake13curtis]

Thanks ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]
