My knees thanked you and asked for more! I told them it was the glutes' turn. Knees are so selfish.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

😂😂 love reading your comments, thanks for posting them! Glad your knees enjoyed this 😀

[@feliciamarie6488]

😂 love this! Too funny

[@FalconNest]

Thank you, Ash! This is my favourite sequence. I had issues with my knees and feet (plantar fasciitis) as I transitioned from 10 miles to a half marathon. The stretching I was doing simply wasn't enough. But three weeks of regular yoga exercises from your channel fixed things for me. So thanks for this amazing channel!

[@jaydewilkie1337]

Hey Ash!! Thankyou for another great video! I have only recently started running and have really been enjoying your videos after my run as a way to stretch, relax and recover. I love how you emphasise the importance of recovery, especially as I have had a few knee injuries and am trying to keep them as healthy as possible! I was wondering if you’d be able to make a few more warm up videos - especially anything that will target the muscles around the knee to support it through my run. ☺️

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hey Jayde!! thank you so much for your feedback it really helps me understand how I can keep making videos that people will benefit from, I appreciate you taking the time to write that comment, thank you 🙏 there’s lots more to come from my channel and definitely going to add in some focused warmups, thanks 😊

thank you! great stretches. I' m battling with runners knee and found this very helpful, going to do the routine regularly

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Glad it was helpful! Great work doing the strength work needed to help your knee. Also, maybe look at your running form as that’s a big contributing factor to runners knee too. Heel striking contributes to big impacts at the knee so we try to avoid that if we can with some form tweaks.

Hey Ash.. can you recommend any of your videos that will help with stronger running and a slowly recovering sore knee.. many thanks Wyn 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Yes I can Wyn, these strength videos are going to improve your balance and glutes which stabilise your hips and generate power as you run. So if you strengthen your glutes you will gain more stability and power... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXQi2WVpc6Ubbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5ComI2MlpimoJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXzUnYSkaJxogZY Always keep your knee bent and not locked out, avoid until 100% fit if they aggravate your knee.

Thank you Ash..

[@ColinCadden]

I've been nursing a sore knee all season. Hoping that some of this work will help sort it out over winter.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely Colin, strength work and checking form to avoid overstriding are 2 key areas that will improve knee health when running 👍🏻😊

[@ColinCadden]

@@RunBetterwithAsh Yeah - I've being doing some high cadence striding to help with the latter. Feels weird at first as I love the flowing feeling of longer, slower strides. I'll keep working on it though

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

@@ColinCadden yes it always feels odd, thats a regular thing that happens with my clients, maybe start by increasing your cadence 5% of what it was. This feels more natural than jumping to 180spm from something in the 160s.

When is the most beneficial time to do this; pre-run, post-run or rest days?
