Long Run Ready: Essential Warmup Routine

[@maripytta22]

Lovely that your warm-ups also focus on the shoulders and upper body. Used to always cramp up in my shoulders when running, but I hardly ever do anymore 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s amazing to hear!! It’s so great to see you in the comments always 😊 thank you for your support, I’m glad I can help you warmup 🙌🏻

[@RyanMurray87]

Really great warm up in this one. It’s gentle enough at the start for long enough that doing it early in the morning isn’t too tough. The last bit to get the HR up is perfect.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much Ryan. It’s so great to see you back here again 🙌🏻😊

[@Dom_South]

Smashed my first half marathon today! Found my new favourite warm up for long runs too! Thanks Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Fantastic! Well done Dominic 🙌🏻🎉 glad this is your new fave warmup for long runs 🙏😊

First time trying to warmup with you before my long run this morning, absolutely loved it! I really love how you build this slowly and not just jumping to high HR like in others videos. As always, thank you so much Ash you are the best

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Awesome! Thank you for your kind feedback Ron 🙏 well done for taking that bit more time to warmup gradually, it really does make a difference doesn't it! Hope the run was good 👍

[@macdiaz1]

That was great. I added hip CARs

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great idea to do that 👍🏻😊

[@jaysinghee]

Loved this!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you for warming up with me and commenting 🙏😊

[@jacquijohn2099]

Another great warm up Ash. I’ was having great difficulty at the beginning of runs and I realise I wasn’t fully warmed up so I am now using your warm ups which I find so helpful as you cover all areas of the body. I can feel an improvement already. I also some specific exercises as I have been recovering from hip bursitis and so I’m working on strengthening there. I also find you explanations and accent easy to listen to. So many warms ups are from USA and somehow it just doesn’t do it for me. Thanks you.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks so much Jacqui. It’s so nice to read your feedback. I’m so glad my warmups help you and you can feel the difference from doing them. Thanks again 😊

[@bdbedlington]

Really appreciate the pre-run stretches. Thanks Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Really like this warmup, even though I don't run. I am training for another 24 hour ultra where I will walk the whole way, and have training walks between 2 and 8 hours. Started this warmup two weeks ago heading into my two longest training weekends and could feel it help immediately. Ash - do you have a video that focuses on pre-run lower back stretches?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s amazing, well done 👍🏻😊 I don’t have anything pre run for lower back but this will help back generally… Lower Back Stretches after Running routine kzbin.info/www/bejne/in_Xe414l5Jqhrs
