Thank you, Ash. Did this after a couple of days off, as we'd been travelling around looking for a new house, and I didn't feel the roads where we stayed were safe to run on. So glad I did something.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done for being active and getting this session in Dave 👍🏻😊

[@ColinCadden]

"Enjoyed" this one, but man my shoulders are feeling it!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

It’s deceptive how much our shoulders work during yoga isn’t it?! Glad you enjoyed this one Colin, I appreciate your comment 👍🏻😊

[@emilygoestochina]

Here on my rest day with Ash! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

A huge thank you for following along with me and taking the time to comment Emily!

[@christophejanot12]

Harder than it looks. Really tough both mentally and physically. Thanks

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

It is a tough one this Christophe, deliberately planned to be a challenge so that you gain benefits from it that will directly translate into stronger running, especially the single leg balance work 😊 thanks for commenting as always 🙏

Perfect sesh for my taper week! Thank you ☺️

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Perfect! Thank you for stretching along and leaving a comment Geni, good luck with your event! 👍

[@CallumIvorK]

Really enjoyed this video! I wouldn’t even worry about getting mixed up with the left and rights when you’re explaining the side to do it on. I’m more listening to what you say and only looking at how you do the specific movement initially. If you’re really worried about it, just mirror the video in post-production. Keep this up, you’re helping me prepare for my first ever triathlon here in Melbourne Australia!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Awesome! Thank you for your feedback Callum! I’m an over thinker as you could probably tell 😂 I appreciate the idea too to mirror. 😊🙏

[@patrickmccoy8924]

Great stuff. Thanks !

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Patrick, I’m glad you enjoyed this video 😊 thanks for commenting 🙏

[@brianlindgren3490]

Great burn. Felt my body shaking trying to hold those isometric poses. Definitely a worthwhile rest day routine. Going to couple this with your calf stretch video. Calves are very tight today. Thanks!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Good stuff Brian, well done for doing this strength session, its great for your body and your running. Thanks for commenting to let me know you enjoyed it!

[@joseluisreyna5546]

This was challenging. I have to work on my balance! Thank you, Ash.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

It is a challenge, thats why a lot of runners avoid it Jaime, well done for doing it 🙌😀

[@joseluisreyna5546]

Great thanks Ash, my first of 3 of strength training day 👍👍👍

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great practice! I struggled with the balance part, but I enjoyed it anyway. I loved when you said we are all a work in progress. Thank you so much for helping me to progress!!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

I'm so happy to be part of your progress Silvia, I appreciate you commenting as always 🙏 It was a tough one this one, I'm glad that part resonated with you, its important to remember we are always working on progressing ourselves so try not to beat ourselves up for not being as 'good' at something as the next person! 😀

strength + flexibility = mobility Love this. New montra

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely, one without the other is too specific, be more of a generalist I say! 😀

[@carenwatson5475]

Thank you Ash. Great way to start my work day. Appreciate the quick and solid strengthening training.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Well done Caren, what great start to the day doing some strength, balance and flexibility yoga 🙌🏻😊

Good one to do on waking up, thanks Ash

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Good morning Nick! Absolutely this is great to start your day, well done for starting your day with this mate 🙌🏻 I appreciate your support in the comments 🙏😊

[@user-pr9ut6sr8m]

How can I start my first day of running and I want to be a long runnner. Question. Can I be long and short runner both?

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Patience is the key, build up slowly over time and allow your body to adapt to longer distances bit by bit! Hope this helps, thanks for commenting 😀

[@jacquimclennaghan8947]

Hi Ash. I have been running for almost a year this time and also do a daily yoga practice. I have been told that runners need to incorporate strength training into their week and I did start a programme at home but I lost interest. Is it okay to just do yoga instead but use more strength oriented practices to benefit my running? I'm 57 :) PS I am really enjoying your videos too!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks for sharing your running journey Jacqui. Yes, absolutely substitute for strength based yoga, this is what I mainly do. When holding balance or strength poses that is known as isometric holds and they are some of the best forms of strength training, hope this helps 😀 thanks for commenting to let me know 🙏
