Adriene really helped me change my view about yoga, running and sports in general. I'm not a very sporty person, and I run slowly and not super far. In the past, I often heard things like "You only really get a benefit from running when you run for 30 minutes", "You have to run a little faster/further every time to improve", "You have to run at least 2 times a week" and so on. That discouraged me from running altogether. After many years of Yoga with Adriene, I finally started listening to me and my body. I don't have to set any goals. If I get out there and I'm too tired to run, it's fine to walk. If I slow down because I'm out of breath, it's fine. It's really all about me. Ever since I've got this mindset, I enjoy running. I love being outside and feeling my body. I'm so grateful to Adriene for changing my mindset on sports in general... it helped me out so much! ❤

[@ruthm9383]

I've done this video over 20 times, and "You're awesome, you ran today" makes me smile every time!!

[@SwirlygirlieOR]

Me too! I've been using this one for a year and I smile every time and think "yeah, I am awesome!" :)

[@andrewmunster9950]

I’m just barely getting into yoga and her fun attitude has made this my daily video after a run, the stretches are getting deeper and the postures have improved over time! :)

[@sarahle8423]

Me too! Haha I can practically quote the whole video now.

[@aanonymous5558]

I had the same thought.

[@mindfulmobility8979]

Ha ha yes! Today I was like "yeah. I AM awesome for running today!"

[@elizabethbelanger2304]

In March 2014, I couldn't run a mile; in March 2015 I finished the LA Marathon. During training I did this routine after every run, and I was NEVER injured, and over 9 months of training I skipped only 2 days, and I believe 120% that Adriene's sequence is the reason. And I still use it after weight lifting, hikes, and bike rides to keep me free of muscle soreness. Thank you Adriene!

[@PrasadHirlikar081391]

Ahh! Keep it going! Good luck!

[@alingjeprox7610]

i just started my 2020 LA marathon training and saw your comment... Thanks for sharing... congratz on ur 2015 LA Marathon :)

[@minichanz]

All I say to that is... WOW! 🙌

[@hope484]

Every time I want some sort of specific yoga I just type in Yoga With Adriene and I am always beyond gratified. Yoga for after running, when I am sad, when I am happy, for my period, when it is my birthday, bed time, morning time and the list never ends. Thank you so very much for your kindness and yoga, it is truly amazing how you can make everyone feel like you're giving a one on one yoga session through the interweb.

[@joyamanda]

I agree! Adriene is so awesome. 😄

It's lovely to know that we can come back to these videos whenever we need them...but it is pretty strange to come back so far that we don't see Benji!

[@gillsmith6740]

Hey Adriene, this is my daily morning practice. Maybe I should have gone out for a run before this, but I am not a runner, just a senior yogi, so I had fun doing this and it was great for flexibility, super stretchy. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

I love the bit at the end where you said don't get discouraged, because it gives you something to look forward to. that really resonated with me, it's okay that I can't do everything yet, because that's what I'm working toward! thank you for all your high quality wonderful videos!

[@Simran-br3ht]

This was so blissful after cycling!!

[@allisonn.5005]

I would love a new post-run sequence of about this length! You are awesome. 🙏

[@kelley79]

Same! I do the newer 8 min one a lot… Been awhile since I did so many wide leg forward folds! Awesome 👏

[@standing_around]

I love how you always say exactly what I need to hear at any given moment! - soften the face, breathe into X. The language in general is very helpful too, shine/melt/draw energy from this or that body part.

[@macLoscope]

I'm keeping this : Rather than getting discouraged by things in Yoga you cannot do, I say smile, enjoy that you have something to work towards. You can return to the video again, return to the body, return to the mat and say "What's up? What's it gonna be today?" in my inspiration quotes bucket

[@KBKB744]

No run but felt great! Saved it! Namaste 🙏🏽❤️💚💛🙏🏽

[@jadaveg]

I've been doing Adriene's free videos for awhile now. As a single mom with three kids and a limited budget, being able to do yoga at home without worrying about class fees OR babysitting fees saved my sanity and my body. This isn't remotely equal to what I've gotten from this channel, but it's time to at least offer my gratitude. Thanks, Adriene. You're a big part of the reason being 40 is fun!

[@williamb7275]

Very nice, even if I am not a runner. I do walk a lot, fast and hard, so this definitely helped. Question: When we are doing pidgeon, is ths hip for that folded front leg on the ground or lightly touching it. I cannot tell since it is on the opposite side of Adriene from the camera. Cultivate day 27. 327 days in a row.

[@Malabrigo212]

My hips are always high off the ground in pidgeon so I use a block under that hip. She talks about using supports for the hip on her foundations of yoga for pidgeon.

After doing yoga with adriene you just can't do yoga with anyone else anymore. THE BEST! ❤ thank you adriene

[@jennifercrain7161]

I absolutely love this runners cool down. It is my FAVE. A run doesn't feel nearly as satisfying now if I don't hear Adriene say, "you're awesome, you ran today!;)", and my body just sucks up everything that follows. A totally real, spunky, energetic delight that meets me where I'm at on any given day. Thank you for sharing this!

Im six years late to the party.... BUT WHAT A GREAT SEQUENCE. Adriene thank you. Adriene saved my back about 4 years ago, having never done yoga in my life to now doing yoga regularly, along with meditation and running.

[@pikejono]

Hi Adriene. Greetings from South Africa! I've been running for about 18 months now and have found your warm up and cool down routines for runners very useful. Can I request you post a few more variations for both of these? I have never been one for yoga really, but have found these routines very doable and very helpful! Thank you so much.

[@jennamorgan1966]

Adriene has become my quarantine BFF, like if you agree

[@rebexy86]

An oldie but a goodie! Now that I'm a runner, getting back into these running yoga videos I ignored back then! This was great :)

[@loublou5886]

I'm not a runner but I really enjoyed this stretch 🥰

[@kirstenseliga720]

I know you've had these videos up for awhile, but your runners yoga warm up and cool down have especially saved my butt while training for my half marathon. You're truly incredible! Thank you 💓

[@faithperry6307]

Same here. I'm up to 9 miles in my training now and I'd be a sore mess without Adriene. Good luck with your running! :)

[@jugglinggoth]

Aw yeah I'm doing a running challenge this month and I NEEDED this.

[@verasmirnova5801]

just what i needed - rather than getting discouraged by things in yoga that you cannot do, smile and enjoy that you have something to work towards

[@karmenbrown4534]

I tried this sequence for the first time after running this morning and I loved it! I was a little intimidated by the time because I've been doing the shorter 5-10 minute sequences, but this one was so good I didn't even realize almost 20 minutes had gone by. I wanted it to keep going lol! This was the perfect session for stretching my legs! Definitely plan to keep this one in my post-run rotation. Thank you, Adriene!

[@Malabrigo212]

I'm not a runner, but I must've slept funny on my right hip because it was really hurting this morning and this practice was just what I needed.

[@laurarodrigo7741]

I just did it after my run! Thank you very much! I'm enjoying so much all your videos! And this one is great! And, by the way, now that I'm reading The Tree of Yoga, I can see reflected some of Iyengar's words in your way of teaching. It is really good to see how mindfulness, meditation, being aware of the self, etc. can be so easily applicable to the everyday practice. It feels reachable, it's something that we all can do :) Yeaaah!!

[@yogawithadriene]

Yes, beautiful! I love yoga because it is not about transforming into something you are not or trying to reach the unattainable- though it can seem that way. It really is about getting back to who you already are - who you really are. Getting back to your finest and truest self! Totally reachable!!! ;-) Keep on Laura! Namaste!

[@waywardwoodford]

Hi Adriene! This is my first youtube comment ever, and it feels good. :) I am training for an ultra marathon (50 miles), and I have found this video (and your optimism) to be an absolutely priceless tool in my training regime. My recovery times are split in half (if I even need recovery time), and I am not generally sore, even after my longest training runs. So for that, THANK YOU. Anyway, my race is in three weeks, and I was wondering if you had any ideas on some quick-ish poses that I could practice *during* the run? I will be running/on my feet for about 12 hours or more, in a sort of "monoculture of movement" as I think of it. If I integrated some mindful stretching once every ten miles or so, I bet it would really improve morale and endurance. Again, thank you so much for what you do for us youtube yogis. Much love!
