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 😊

[@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 😊

[@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 😊

[@namebutler]

Nice one Ash. Hope you had a good run and this comments gets those visits.

4.6/5 Simply superb as always ash! I love the standing up and loosing ones. Should be more like a 4.9 but I was inside so had to skip the jumping ones (it's 6am). What's your running routine? Thanks ash.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you enjoyed this one Ben. Great to see you in the comments as always, especially at 6am 👍🏻 my running routine consists of Monday - (long mobility/flexibility) Tuesday - Hills intervals Wednesday - Strength Thursday - longer tempo trail run Friday - recovery run Saturday off Sunday - hilly long trail run 👍🏻

[@ricciread1184]

Great day start. I'm doing short bare foot run around local field, been really getting into minimalist footwear and want to feel how barefoot feels
