My favorite of your warm-ups! Thank you for your happy, excited attitude. It always brings a smile to my face.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks Virginia 😊 I was probably getting a bit giddy I was going for a run 😂 like a dog waiting at the door to go for a walk!! So glad this is one of your faves 🙏

I did this warm up right before running 15k for the first time. I went even further and reached 10 miles which is the longest I've ever run. 10 weeks until my first half-marathon!

[@jacquijohn2099]

I did this warm up before an interval session. I did really like this Ash . An extra fab bit would be to include some arms as this also helps me at least to get my heart rate up. Your enthusiasm is always so welcome.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great idea to add the arms in Jacqui. Thanks so much for your feedback and comment 😊

Post-run stretches are a necessity, but your warmup routines are really helpful to loosen up when the body feels a bit stiff before a run! Thanks!!

[@ji.lliann]

I am a beginner runner and I tried this warm up before a 10km run in a treadmill. My hip flexors usually get stiff at around 6km but when I did this warm up, they didn’t get stiff at all and I was able to break a previous 10km record.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much for commenting to let me know, I appreciate that 👍🏻 well done on your 10k record 🙌🏻🎉😊

[@joseluisreyna5546]

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Next time! At least you got a good warmup in 😊👍🏻

[@lesleypratap8958]

Great calf and hamstring stretch. My band was stretchy, would it be better if it was a more rigid strap?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely Lesley that would help. Thanks as always for following along with me!!

[@DominicDiTanna]

Day 1382. Thx Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done on day 1382!!! I appreciate you stretching with me and commenting as always Dominic! Your support means a lot, thanks too 😀

[@benhowes2950]

probably a 4.3 this one, the jumping was a bit loud inside and my knees hurt but still simpley superb (Video 2 of asking for a Run Better With Ash shout out)

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Noted Ben 😊 shoutout will come 👍🏻

What make are those trainers?
