[@KristijanKL]

I need something for the knees boss

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

This session is a strengthening session for the muscles that support the knee 👍 thanks for commenting Kristijan 😀🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/amKqhaObl7OBn5Y

[@jolieland9651]

I love that this one was all lying down! I'll be coming back to it often after intense runs. Thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

As ever Jolie, you are very welcome 👍 this is the perfect counter to the more intense runs for sure, that's what I was aiming for with this one. I aim to create a library of stretches for every mood and intensity as my channel grows, thank you for your support in the comments 😀

[@jenniferchoi7027]

Me too! I just finished a 4 miler but my body loved and needed this stretch even though it was an easy, short, shake out run before my 5K on Sunday.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

@@jenniferchoi7027 have a nice 5k tomorrow 🙂

[@genevieveduplaincyr657]

This one is really my favorite so far. And those words about not beating ourselves about not meeting our objectives really resonate today for me... thanks !

Just what I needed. It’s Wednesday and I reluctantly ran 6 miles so I needed a relaxing post run session.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Perfect, so glad this is just what you need after your reluctant 6 miler!! I did a reluctant 9km run this morning in sub zero temperatures but felt so much better for doing it 😀

a panic attack cut my run short today and this was perfect to help ground and stretch at the same time! Thanks so much ash 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Sorry to hear about your panic attack Anna, I understand how you must have felt having experienced these for a number of years myself. Yoga, running, mindfulness, nature, nutrition have helped me get a good grip on my anxiety levels and overall mood 😀

[@johnthomas4713]

Hey. Awesome video. Thank you Really like the lower back and hamstring stretches I need more hamstring stretches! Lol

[@natashabreen1508]

Thanks so much Ash . My run was hard as I was wading thigh high through flooded river banks and loads of mud 😂

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Oh wow Natasha, that sounds eventful! Thank you for stretching along and leaving a comment, glad I could help you stretch after it!

[@meadhbhcorrigan3549]

Thanks!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Welcome, thanks for commenting again!

[@tartarcity]

Hey Ash ! Today wasn't as easy as other days (I always find this is the case when I run in the morning, even if I do an extended pre-run stretch... thoughts?) so I really appreciated when you said we're not machines and to accept these days as part of the process.. thank you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks to you too, I'm so glad you felt the benefits of this stretch after your run and you enjoy my videos 😀 it could be any number of things. You may be running fasted and not has as much energy, you may have slept differently, hydration or fuel could be different, stress can influence our running so it could be any number of reasons really. Maybe look at doing a diary and see if anything becomes obvious👍

[@kristaparsons5043]

Thanks Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No worries Krista, happy to help you stretch and its nice to see your comments, thank you too 😀🙏

[@jordangaunt6517]

Thanks ash 👍🏻

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I'm so glad to help you Jordan, thanks for being part of my KZbin community 😀 thank you for stretching with me and then commenting 🙏

[@doreenferrante392]

❤ Another great one Ash! For some reason my hamstrings were very tight after my run (did lower body workout yesterday 🤔) and this practice made them feel better! Had a beautiful November day to run today here in New England- 60 degrees !!! Had to take advantage of that before the cold and snow come!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you enjoyed this and keep stretching with me Doreen, thank you too ❤ sounds like a lovely run, we've just dropped into the 40s here in the UK so its quite chilly now so I totally understand 😰

[@peter-paulrutjens4618]

Thanks Ash 🎉

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too for commenting and stretching with me Peter-Paul as you always do, glad this helped.

[@jildou97]

Again, thanks ash for this lovely session! And yes, let’s remind ourselves that we run for our mental and physical health, and mostly fun!!🙌

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely, so true. It has definitely helped my mental and physical health 🙌 Glad you enjoyed this one and keep coming back to my videos, thank you too 🙏😀

[@silvianavarrete1]

Thank you Ash! Today I needed to hear your words of encouragement, after a difficult run. I couldn't run for a few days because I was sick, and today it was a challenge to come back. You saying in this video that some days feel worst than others helped me a lot to know I am not alone. And, of course, the stretching felt awesome. I needed to relax with it, and I did. Thank you again!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Wonderful, thats great to hear that this part of the video was relatable for your Silvia. We do all need a reminder sometimes that its not all perfect and to ride the waves when the times are a little bit challenging and to just show up next time we get the opportunity. Thank you as always for your feedback and stretching with me 😀

[@aileenboettger8897]

Great relaxing stretch. I love that you keep giving us different formats that can match our needs depending on how we feel each day

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I'm so glad you can feel the variety and enjoy them Aileen 😀 Lots more to come, as ever thank you for stretching with me and commenting 🙏

[@janineaschersleben8808]

Thank you so so much for your kind of videos!! They’re so important! More people out there need to see you and your work! Your talk in your videos is beside your stretches also very relaxing. I really appreciate your videos and I’m very thankful for them!! 🙌🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much Janine thats very kind of you 🙏 theres lots more to come from my channel, thank you for stretching with me and commenting 😀

[@sechabakgatle8974]

Thank you Ash😅

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you enjoyed it Sechaba, so happy to help you stretch 😀 theres lots more to come from my channel 👍 thanks for commenting 🙏

[@Poodlerunner]

Thank you, Ash for another great post run stretch! I seem to hold my stress in my glutes as they are extremely tight and sometimes painful. The windshield stretches help. Run today was recovery from pushing so hard on Sat! But I didn’t die! 😂 Hope you have a great day!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

As always Chantel you are very welcome, I'm so happy to keep seeing your comments come up. I'm glad the windshield stretch hit the spot with your tight glutes and great work on varying the intensity of your runs, your body will be grateful and its something that more runners need to do 🙌 Have a great day too 😀

[@qwerty-ng6sq]

Thanks for video Ash! I have a question to you: Recently i overload my ankles/feet on my last run. Do You have any recommended video to rehab these parts?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're welcome, thanks for commenting! These videos are focused on strengthening ankles and feet area but aren't specifically rehab, they are more prehab so may need to wait until it feels ok enough to do these sessions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amKqhaObl7OBn5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4qrkmauq6uid9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX6nYa2lfblkd6s Hope this helps!

[@davidbroxterman5624]

Thanks Ash! 1st long run back was 64 minutes I was gonna run outside but we got 4" of snow over night so treadmill it was. Just curious what running shoe rotation do you have? Currently I'm my daily/long run trainers are Saucony Triumph 20 and Tempo and race day are Saucony Endorphin Speed 3.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

A big thank you for stretching it out with me and taking the time to comment as always David 😀 4" of snow is a challenge, no wonder you chose treadmill! I wear minimalist trainers as I messed my feet up pretty bad and this caused knee and hip issues. These have gone since strengthening my feet and I enjoy the space at the toes and midfoot of a wider toe box. Minimalist aren't for everyone though as I understand people do like the feel of cushioning. I have a pair of Vivobarefoot Esc for my trail runs as they have a bit more of a lug on them and then Vivobarefoot Primus FG for when I run roads.

[@dannytress4256]

Amazing how quickly you can change your state of mind and body when you take the time to breathe and stretch post-run. Thanks, Ash! I’ve subscribed.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely Danny, it makes such a difference doesn't it! thanks for stretching with me and commenting, lots more to come 👍😀

[@charlbarrientos6183]
