As a runner with 20 years experience I have been lazy about anything other than just running. I am now 47 and have found I need these videos and they really work. I still struggle with full on yoga stuff so this is a great balance for me!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I appreciate you stretching with me and leaving a comment again thank you! I totally get it about the yoga stuff, thats why I have done these videos as I work with my clients in more of a functional yoga way rather than the spiritual sides to it.

[@MJHKing1]

42 yo here in exactly the same situation. Can't get into yoga. Can't ignore that all my muscles feel like knotted ropes and piano wire now

[@rhsharkey]

I’m so grateful for all of the videos on this channel. I am close to 50 years old and took up running this year as it’s been a longtime goal. I am now training for my first half marathon and these videos have been instrumental in my progress. I use a variety of your pre-run and post-run stretches nearly every day. I can’t thank you enough, Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That is awesome Russ, thank you 🙏 I've replied slightly longer in my first reply 😀👍

[@edinburgh360]

Thanks again Ash - really enjoyed this one- hit all the places- hip flexers really needed this!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad you enjoyed this one. Really appreciate your comments. Have a great weekend 😊

[@kanoeist0]

Cheers for the vid its nice to have a variety of post run starch videos to mix it up. I like the pace and lack of rubbish music

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

So glad you enjoyed this stretch with me and the variety I have in my videos 😊 thanks for commenting to let me know, I’m not a fan of the rubbish music either 🙌🏻

[@olividler4579]

Just discovered you channel, really liking the content! I wondered whether you would suggest any of your stretch routines in particular for non run days....those times where legs may be feeling not so good, but could do with a stretch release. Would any of the 'post-run' routines be ok?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJaXdKBnfaiirZo This one will help Chris, its good to do the post-run ones yes as its the same areas we are stretching just do a slightly longer one! Thanks for commenting 🙂
