Post Run Stretch Routine | How To Stretch After Running

Running naturally puts a lot of strain through our muscles, tendons and ligaments, if we don’t do anything about it we can start to see a reduction in our range of movement. It’s time to address the issue with some post run stretches. Heather has got a variety to share for each muscle group so you can find the stretch that works best for you.

What stretches do you do after running?

[@pecnikc]

Similar to your toes stretch: On to your knees and tuck under the toes, sit back on the heels to stretch the sole of the feet and of course the toes It is intense, but you can bend forwards to release a bit of pressure. I got this from Cat Meffan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ponElqdod8mqjZo

[@VanGorogh]

Thank you! This is a perfect short combo of some of my favourites. I also do yoga (mostly hot yoga), but after run I never have the patience to do a whole yoga session.

[@MrMichaelfalk]

the only streches i don is when i bend over to loosen my shoeslaces... No need to complicate things - it is just running.

[@ItsWami]

So many stretches :) Its a good video. I would also be really interested to see a video where we can maybe follow a long with a 5-10 minute post stretch workout.

[@schnsthe]

Underrated video.. helped me a lot! I am someone who has recently started running and was struggling with recovery. These stretches helped a lot! Thanks😊

[@gtn]

Great to hear!

[@lizziedripping71]

Marvellous content, clearly explained & beautifully demonstrated for me. Thank you 😀

[@RRP3168]

Ahhhhh! These stretches really felt great after my run! Thank you!

[@HeroldHerdocia]

I love watching you guys explaining, so detailed, thanks, I would love in this kind of videos seeing you more doing the actual move though, just to copy some technique

[@AndrewKarczewski]

Thanks for the video.

[@Zippy0George0Bungle]

Great stuff, really helpful, thank you. Just be great if you did all the 30 second stretches as well, so I could follow along, instead of constantly having to pause and restart the video in between each stretch and sometimes re-connect to airplay as it’s paused for too long.

[@johnnyb1897]

Just finished a 5k when I discovered this video. Great timing Heather ✌️🇨🇦✌️

[@nicolasdimatteo3356]

Thank you! You should do follow along videos!

[@yiannis_christodoulou]

Very helpful thanks

[@trinigyul7507]

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏

[@aklevin]

Thanks!

[@latashaallston5368]

This was great!

[@b9904]

Love this

[@tomaszakarauskas7174]

Thank you darlin 🙃😁

[@mickeyblues4885]

Thank you.

[@petterikaristo9528]

Wonderful stuff! (Well, no surprise.) The best thing for me right now was the length of the video! Long enough to do a thorough stretching after a big bike session. I feel much better now :)

[@sooryanarayanan4273]

Thanks

[@marianomendoza9490]

Great video

[@kelemujoco406]

Thank you i need more viduo

[@davidb6961]

Thanks Heather. A great selection of stretches. Just what I have been wondering about. I know I will be able to find one stretch for each muscle group. At 66 I need all the flexibility I can keep.👍

[@heatherfell_oly]

I think we all do!

[@wrekinmanrunning3280]

Great stretches, I'll be adding them into my routine. Thanks.

[@sandymenzies5863]

Great very informative video Heather. We should all do more of these😊👍🏃🏼‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[@heatherfell_oly]

Thanks Sandy, yes myself included!

[@13igCity13oy]

Excellent !!!! i try to add some simple yoga moves one or two + the ones you have mentioned here.

[@JediMasterJazz]

How long do you hold the pose?

[@juanchoalfaro1968]

No es necesario activar los subtitulos en espanol, la tipa explica los estiramientos realmente bien !!!

[@AndrewDBrown2020]

Thank you so much - this could be really good for me. Is there an ideal time that I should wait (once I've stopped running), before I do these?

[@denverdean2663]

Ideally after you catch your breath, do these stretches immediately. That way your muscles are still warm and primed for stretching. Good luck mate

[@alfred87]

Since I try to run 120k per week, after running I use the percussion massager, the foam roller and then I do some stretches

[@CuriousIntellect1]

I've just started to follow the warrior diet. I want to start jogging every other day as I'm new to jogging. How long should I jog for and should I take breaks or keep pushing ?

[@jaydesimone4297]

Are these stretches effective for after a ride, as well? PS: Nice socks!

[@MrPAROBI]

I done two 10k last week and I’ve done something to my soleus I’ve found it hard to walk not the best I’m gonna definitely pick up more stretching afterwards

[@simedinson984]

For the bent over hamstring flex you can do both legs at once using a desk/chair

[@peterparahuz7094]

one at a time is painful enough, thank you :D

[@NighthawkRulezify]

Please do a Follow along video. I don't think this was very useful for me as I'm a beginner and couldn't keep up with the stretches. Thanks!

[@ernestoglez6725]

Are this the stretches that Mark did after his 62 miles run? What a beast almost 8000 ft of gain!

[@WaltRBuck]

So have you ever or know anyone that had ever dealt with anterior tibialis compartments sydrome? Nasty stuff.

[@user-hi1mj4mc3w]

Good thanks 👍 talking over the stretch as opposed to the lady standing there and talking about it would have been even more helpful fwiw. Thx

[@volcaniccubing6940]

I was gonna do this sprint triathlon but I can't because I'm under 14 🙁🙁

[@gametec9545]

Please tell us how to make our leg in a perfect posture While running please please 🙏😊😊🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@brentcharlton1065]

If I just watch this, do I still need to stretch after? I feel like it’s the thought that counts? 😂

[@gtn]

Nah just stretch through osmosis 🤣

[@Marenqo]

Would be nice if you guys could do a video of Ahmaud Arbery

[@TheArbiterSux]

Why in the world would they do that?

[@cneer17]

Please be careful with the thoracic stretches as the lower back is designed more for stability than flexibility so listen to your body and don’t force things

[@raya3208]

“It’s a hard one to explain” - why not show it as you explain it instead ?

[@trbeyond]

Hindu pushups and the “worlds greatest stretch”

[@JuanDeLaBreca]

Sorry, but you are talking way too much...
