I have not found a pre run routine that makes me excited to get out the door until I found this! I leave my house with such a boost and it leads to a very fun run for me. Thank you Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Oh wow!! That is so nice to read Karsen, thank you so much for sharing with me. I’m so glad I could inspire excitement to get out and run after this 😊

[@lw459]

I’m running the London Marathon tomorrow and you’ve been a great help these past four months. As a non-runner I had no idea how/what was best pre and post run, and I didn’t find much on the internet that I thought was helpful. You’ve been amazing in helping me and your positive attitude has been infectious. Thanks so much Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Brilliant, that’s so good to hear. Thank you for commenting to let me know. I’m so humbled my videos have helped you over the last 4 months. Well done for caring for your body as you trained for London. Have an amazing time tomorrow and best of luck 🙌🏻😊

[@tonysaenz]

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're very welcome as always, motivation always goes up and down. Just keep that habit going and you'll get it back, well done for showing up today when you motivation isn't at its best. Maybe you could reevaluate your goals to give you some fresh motivation!

Excellent warm-up session, Ash! Used this before my mid-week “half easy, half tempo” run, and felt like I absolutely flew round! I’m going to put that down to these stretches (rather than it being a shorter, deload week run 😉😂). Keep up the great work, mate! 👍🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

[@AliciaLatzer023]

Ash, awesome warm up!! I have a question. Is there a benefit to doing the warmup with your running shoes on vs barefoot?I tend to do mine barefoot, but I see you’re always in shoes. Thank you.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Alicia, glad you enjoyed this warmup with me 😊great question. I wear minimal shoes so they are close to barefoot. There’s definitely benefit to do your warmup barefoot as your feet muscles will get a good warmup and activation for sure, those help stabilise the body especially the big toe and lower leg muscles 🙌🏻

[@catherinetobin1176]

Great. Mind you, I might be scooping chickens in my sleep tonight

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hahaha, brilliant!! They might help you fall asleep if you can count them too Catherine! Thanks as always for your comments!

[@rosebonnesen7994]

Thanks for the video! Can I ask what kind of vivos you are running in? I've been wearing barefoot shoes for years, but I'm new to running, and I think the trail type vivos might be better than their primus 😅 Again, thanks for the video, I'm excited for my run!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Rose! My Vivos are Primus Trail FG for road and hard trails and I use the Hydra Esc for when the trails are wet and sloppy. 😀

[@robson1749]

Hi! 😊 I've been doing a trail runner for four years, and I'd like to admit that I haven't spent much time stretching until the trauma started (( Yes, I'm an idiot. Your videos really help me. Can you give me some advice? I will be grateful to you ❤️ Is there a video on your channel with training exercises? I jump on a jump rope often, can you advise how to improve the training? Maybe a little jump on the weight jump? Or is it just gonna hurt?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hi Robson! I do have strength training videos on my channel but they are specific for runners and the muscles we use. I don’t have any knowledge of jump rope training unfortunately so I wouldn’t be able to offer good advice on that. The strength sessions I have are like this one… Foundational Strength Session for Runners at home 20 minutes kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHXTo4Kim9SSgJo 😊❤️

[@robson1749]

Thank you, Ash! I'll be doing your recommendations! You're really helping me! It's very valuable! Hug! Good for you!

Thanks for warming up with me. Thats a question I couldn’t answer without seeing what your food intake is during this time as the energy you consume/burn influences weight loss. 😊
