I'm 59. A few months ago my 22-year-old daughter asked me to train to run a half-marathon with her in September. Have never run more than 10 miles in my life and hadn't run more than a mile for years but I decided to give it a try. Been doing this warm-up every time before I run a couple months and am up to 3 to 4 miles a run. So far so good.

[@DJMarcusGrant]

Amazing work! 🎉

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you for being supportive Marcus, I appreciate your comment 👍🏻😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done that’s amazing!! Keep going and good luck with your training 🙌🏻

[@Ellewatson64]

How did the half marathon go?!

[@CarryOnWithKrista]

Been running since Nov. and have always done another creator’s pre run yoga. This warm up made me realize how much I need to incorporate some strength training into my routine! I was feeling sore from just the warm-up! 😂 thanks for all you do, your content is amazing!!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Oh wow, thank you so much for your feedback 🙏 I love that you have great body awareness to be able to feel you need some extra strength work, well done 👍🏻😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you like it and it helps you warm up properly 👍 thank you for commenting 😊

[@chrisboeman]

I was doing this warm-up just before my runs 3 times a week but now I try to do it every morning before my other workout. Helps me with maintaining flexibility and balance. Thanks.

Thank you too Ramon. I appreciate your comment 🙏😊

[@taichka_morozova]

i’ve only recently discovered your channel as an absolute beginner (we’re talking ZERO experience) runner, who used to hate the mere idea of running. and i love your vibe so much!!! thank you, this warm up felt really good and refreshing, i’m now off to a nice 3-3.5 km jog 🫶

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing!! Well done on creating a healthy and now ‘enjoyable’ running routine. Glad I can be part of it 😊

[@elisabethmatte330]

Loved how dynamic this was! ❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much Elisabeth. I really appreciate that 🙏😊❤️

[@alibizzle21]

I appreciate your videos- I especially like how you asked what the purpose of my run today is, I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. The purpose of my run today is to stay in form to run again next weekend (if not sooner) and to explore the city I'm visiting. Thank you, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much for sharing your purpose Ali 🙏 so glad you appreciate my videos, thank you 😊

[@benda777nba]

Great warm up...gets me ready for my sat long runs!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you, hope you had a good long run 👍🏻😊

[@CarolFraserNutritionist]

This warm-up helped me with endurance. I've just started running and struggled. Doing the warm-up before my second run helped me do a 30-min run, with only one stop for a breather. On my first run, it felt like every minute.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing Carol!! Well done on the 30 minute run 🙌🏻 that’s fantastic progress and warming up definitely does prep your breathing. Great to see you using my videos so regularly 😊

[@StephenHyde-s9h]

Thank you, Ash! I’ve been using this warm up routine before every run for a few weeks now and it has become as essential as putting on my running shoes!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Stephen. That’s amazing to read, so glad this warmup has become an essential. Well done for consistently warming up properly 🙌🏻😊

[@carenwatson5475]

Thanks Aah for this quick and effective warm up.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Caren. Thank you too 🙏😊

[@blanchethomas928]

Thanks Ash, a great warmup session. I always run better when I include you on my pre and post run workouts. Thanks for the time and thoughts you put into your videos. Clear simple directions and reasons why doing exercises is always so helpful.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much for your feedback Be 🙏 it’s so good to see you still stretching with me 🙌🏻😊

[@JianjiaGettinger-up2vm]

Thanks Ash! I love that you incorporated values and intentionality into the pre run stretch. My purpose for running was to get my blood pumping and connect with nature this morning

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

So glad you connected with that part Jianjia! Love your purpose, that’s such a good reason to run 🙌🏻

[@Spaggelaar]

Thanks Ash! 💪

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No problem!! 👍🏻

[@Elfetta1000]

Perfect! Thank you so much for letting me know 😊❤️

[@williamchiuman6286]

Great dynamic one! Thinking of adding this after stretch...

[@isetmefree]

Thanks Ash! I feel really ready to go now!

[@isetmefree]

And I can tell now that I had a great run! So thanks again. It's so great that you made so many exercises and they all feel so great!

Thanks Ash! I need to get better at stretching before and after runs.

Post op 2 years later I’m trying to improve my form and get a bit smarter! Haha I’m not invincible like I once thought! Anyway, thanks!
