[@Poodlerunner]

Do not ever apologize for talking! You are teaching very important stuff! Thank you thank you thank you!!! This was a tough but greatly needed workout!!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Oh wow, thank you for your supportive feedback Chantel. The common theme along the more negative comments is that I talk to much. My general reply is usually that my channel is probably not for them then as I would find it very difficult to change my personality, my brain is a busy one so I feel the need to share the information in there 😂

[@gabymacomber3195]

That last stretch before breathwork was fantastic! Thanks Ash! 🎉

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks too Gaby. I really appreciate your comments and being here so often stretching with me🙏😊

[@laurenstone3182]

5 mile run done! I love how you end with “ committing to your health and recovery and looking after your body” Thanks!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done the 5miler Lauren. You are very committed to your health and it’s admirable for sure and deserves a well done 🙌🏻 it takes dedication and discipline to stay healthy, glad you can relate to that 😊

[@jolieland9651]

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done Peter-Paul. Little by little, that’s the way well done for that 👍🏻😊

[@beckytaylor6885]

Finished my first marathon in almost 2 years today (Jekyll Island Marathon in GA). I had to do this stretch much longer after finishing than I would have liked but it felt GLORIOUS! Going to take a few days to recover with more stretching before heading back out with more runs.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done Becky 🙌👍 great effort to get the marathon in, I just Googled it and it looks like a very leafy, scenic one, lovely! Thanks for commenting!

[@Flo.B.]

The only time I was going to get my run in today was during my lunch break.🏃🏻‍♀️So not only did I appreciate this video for the great stretches, but also because its giving my face more time for the redness to go down! 🥵😂 Even after my shower and this stretch I'm still absolutely sweating and look like a beetroot! 🥵 Shouldn't really complain though, as our summer weather will probably be over soon! Got to love the UK! 🇬🇧😂🌦️ Thanks as always Ash! 💖

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

🤣🤣 I always get beetroot face too Flo, especially in the heat. And yes you’re totally right, we have to make the most of it whilst it’s here for its short visit don’t we?!! ☀️😊❤️

My quads are tight! That's one of the major lessons I've learned since I started your amazing routines. The more I stretch them, the more flexible they become, right? (the left is way tighter than the right)

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comments since starting stretching with me 🙏 yes, over a period of consistent stretching (8-12 weeks) you should start to notice differences😊
