Started running this week. Glad I found your videos. It's helped a lot to ease tension in the hips, calves, and toes.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

So great to see you again Carol 👋😊

[@CarolFraserNutritionist]

@@RunBetterwithAsh Oh, I'll be following for a long time! Thanks for all you do here. As soon as I saw your content, I knew it was exactly what I needed 😃. I'll definitely give you a shout-out on my Facebook group live tonight!

[@TheCasieD]

This has been a particularly great stretch routine for me. Thank you! I said to someone today, "I can't believe I didn't stretch after running for the longest time. I always feel better!"

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s so great to hear that you’re feeling the difference Casie. Thank you too as always for your support in the comments, glad you thought this was a great stretch 😊🙌🏻

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad to see you back stretching with me Hannah, hope you had a nice vacation 😊

[@sleepdestroyer27]

Perfect timing on an all standing stretch for me after walking 10k in the Miami airport on a looooong layover 😂 No touching the gross floor! My body is very grateful. Hammies are happy!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Perfect! What a great ideas to do that after 10k walk in the airport 🙌😀

[@juliaklebo836]

My balance really needs work. Thanks for the video!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks to you too Julia, I'm glad you felt the benefits of this stretch and its good body awareness to know you ned to improve your balance. Have a look in the 'Strength' playlist I have for single leg routines 😀👍

[@DeliaOConnor-qu9fl]

Thanks, Ash. That left me feeling looser and re-energised!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Delia, glad you enjoyed this stretch with me and it helped you feel looser😊🙌🏻

[@tonysaenz]

This one felt great! Thank you for your service Ash!!! 🙌

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Tony. I appreciate your support 🙏😊

[@pausa-existencial]

Thanks, Ash ❤, I just came back to running after a short holiday and this was a perfect video.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hope you enjoyed your holiday 😊 great to see you back stretching with me ❤️

[@fienvynckier3025]

Thank you! Didn't have a lot of time so this one was perfect

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Fien, glad you enjoyed this shorter stretch. That’s exactly why I created these shorter ones when haven’t got enough time 😊🙌🏻

[@Trevshorses]

As someone with very poor balance, I found this quite challenging. Something for me to work on thanks Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely, great mindset to have to improve your balance. There’s huge gains to be made by improving balance 👍🏻😊

[@carenwatson5475]

Thanks Ash. Another great video, took a break from work to do this quick stretch and feel much lighter.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Excellent! Great idea to do this in your work day Caren 🙌🏻👍🏻😊

[@sleepdestroyer27]

Stood in front of the river for this stretch. Nothing better 🏃‍♀️🏞️

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments as always 👍🏻 sounds like a lovely place to stretch😊

[@GabyM22]

I love this one! Really like how you’ve made it a fun balancing game as well, and the arm swinging was the cherry on top 👏 Thanks Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much Gaby. So glad you enjoyed this one with balance in it. I appreciate your comments as always 😊

[@joannefear5393]

Loved this stretch, thanks Ash! Nice yoga balance as well.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome as always Joanne 😊 I’m glad you liked the balance element 👍🏻 I appreciate you commenting, thanks 🙌🏻

[@daniellesanchez]

Thanks Ash! I was having a bit of pain in my right hip post run & this stretch sequence really helped ease most of it. Feeling much better now and looking forward to tomorrow’s run!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Danielle. Thank you for stretching with me and commenting 🙏😊

[@lesleypratap8958]

Back after a bout of injury. Enjoyed this standing stretch after my 10k Race for Life (run/walk sandwich for recovery). Thanks again for all the videos Ash 😊🙏

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Windsor is beautiful. Hope you had a great 10k Lesley 😊

[@sally-annrayment6836]

Thanks Ash. I'm on week 3 of starting running. Im not very good, but your videos are really helping me with the warm ups and cool downs, and making me feel like im still acheieving something 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great to hear Sally-Ann! I really appreciate your comment and so glad I can help you, thank you so much 🙏 well done on starting your running journey 😊

[@gabrielsanmartin2333]

Your videos never disappoint. Thanks!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Gabriel that’s so great to hear that my videos never disappoint, thanks for commenting as always 😊🙌🏻

[@deniskristofic8000]

I used to either skip post run stretch or do just a short static stretch. Now i always do 10 min post run stretch and i recover so much quicker and i it's much easier to run sub 4:00 tempo per km. Interval 3:35 per km feels much easier than 3:55 couple of months ago. All thanks to your great stretch programs. You're the man , Ash ✌️✌️🤗😉💯

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Oh wow!! That’s so good to hear Denis. Well done for creating your regular dynamic routine and you are reaping the rewards for putting the work in 🙌🏻👍🏻 I appreciate your support in the comments, thank you 🙏😊

[@Flo.B.]

I appreciate this all standing stretch, as just done this at the bottom of a very muddy mountain, after a fell run, and I didn't fancy sitting or laying down to stretch! 😂

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing!! Love that Flo. That sounds like my type of run 👍🏻😊

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

Thanks Ash , another great outside stretch session after a tester run today, thanks mate 👍🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No problem Colin 👍I know these help keep your wife happy from the mess you make 😂

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

She thinks that's hilarious (and true) 😂

[@stevejones9142]

Great stretch after a run in Denver, thanks for the work!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Amazing, thanks Steve! That’s so good to hear you thought this was great 🙏 greetings to Denver from England😊

[@karengodley2404]

Great stretch Ash, been on a 6.5 mile easy run today and have done 2 stretch videos. Keep up the good work 👏

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate that Karen, thank you so much 🙏 well done on the 6.5 miler😊

[@rjbjr6226]

Another banger stretching video Ash! Thank you so much.;

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome, I’m glad you thought this was a banger 😊 thanks for commenting your support means a lot🙏

[@alexhutton4964]

Another cracking stretch session, Ash! I’m just working my way back in post-London, and your stretching videos are definitely the reason I’ve not ached or suffered post 26.2miles!! Cheers mate! P.S. when I’ve watched a couple of videos over the past week or so, it’s said “restricted comments” (or similar) so I’ve not been able to comment. Is this usual for new videos as I’ve not noticed it before 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Awesome! Thank you so much for that Alex it’s so good to hear that my videos have helped you pre and post marathon. So glad you’re noticing the difference. Well done for being consistent with your stretching 👍🏻 Re the comments. I’ve not heard that before. I’ve had a look through last 10-15 videos and nothing is different in the settings so not sure why it’s doing that. If you come across it on a video or if you can remember which one it is please let me know via email mate and I’ll look into it: [e-mail] 😊

[@alejandranunez1922]

Thanks Ash. Badminton and Circuits at the local sports centre this evening - plenty of running involved in both :). Stretches felt good.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Nice Rob!! Pretty intense night for you, well done for keeping so active 🙌🏻 and well done for balancing out that intensity with some stretching 👍🏻😊

Thank you, great stretching again !!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you to you too Sara, I appreciate your comment 🙏😊

[@KevinKortes-Miller]

Really helpful maybe I’m not doing the knee grab effectively. Much more “massage” feel with the quad. Thank you Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're very welcome as always Kevin 👍🏻 thanks for commenting 🙏 it’s likely that you have tightness there that is maybe preventing going deeper into the hip flexors. That’s fine as long as it is working through something in that area 😊

[@sebastianguardia5735]

[@noraswenink9808]

I am having tracking issues with my left kneecap. I have taken time off running, concentrating on building strength in my glutes and leg muscles. Are there any specific stretches I could be doing?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s a really tricky area to help with through video. It would be a good idea to see a local physio or even explore Feldenkrais.

[@noraswenink9808]

@@RunBetterwithAsh Thanks for the reply. I've also been exploring Feldenkrais. Enjoying your videos.

Hey Ash, do you have strength exercises ?
