This was a great stretching routine! I found a lot of guided stretch videos that are just music and they don’t explain how to do the stretch or why. I appreciate the fact that you explain it as you go.

I post 2 videos a week like this, do let me know how you feel with the other ones. Happy stretching 😊

This is the first video of yours that I’ve found but your entire vibe is so wholesome. From the way you explain about dynamic stretches to the way you ask about our run/day to the wholesome dad personality. And as someone who’s really flexible in some places and horribly stiff in others the variety of stretches in this video is absolutely perfect. Good luck on your running journeys everybody!

Over the decade or so that I have been training, I have never been as flexible as some of the people who I've trained with, which could be down to their genetics in some very flexible people. I feel that active stretching is more beneficial in the time I have started using it. There was always a sense of taboo about rocking or moving when stretching in my teams for one reason or another but the knowledge you bring to these sessions puts my mind at ease about doing them. Cheers and keep up the great videos

I bought a pair, and after my first session I felt very bad, my ankles are weak and my shins were killing me Second session, same old problem After my third I was starting to think I would have to let go this new obsession of mine, once again, having spent money in an useless way… That was until I came across your videos (pre and post run) I just completed my second speed session and I’ve never felt better !

You are so welcome Billy, glad to help you have a good stretch! thank you for commenting to let me know 🙏

Thanks for making these!! I try to find a different one of yours after each walk/jog/run I attempt. You were the first suggested post run stretch and I'm glad I found you. Informative and encouraging. I always feel better when I don't skip this!

Perfect. First time for dynamic stretching after a run. I'm just getting back into running after a looong time. This was so scrumptious. I appreciate you 😊

Glad you enjoyed this dynamic stretch with me Karen! I appreciate your kind comment, thank you so much 🙏😊

Hi Ash! I wanted to tell you. I had my best day running, period today. My best 10k 52:30 , 5k at 25:24.a ll the way down the line. I'm 53 years young, and loving it. I did your pre bed stretches last night, and I think that made all the difference. Those plus your morning stretches put me in the right place. Thank you so much, my friend. I didn't start running until last Dec 15th. Your videos are life changing.

You’re so welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed this stretch with me 😊 thanks for commenting 🙏

I decided to form my own 75 day wellness challenge to help restore my body over my summer break before college. Just after 8 days of consistent work, I’ve managed to start running in 3:1 minute intervals with minimal discomfort and always made sure to end my runs with this video. I’m proud to say that my flexibility has already drastically improved along with my confidence and overall health-I’m so happy I found your channel because I wouldn’t be this far along already if it wasn’t for your expertise! Keep helping others achieve their goals, we seriously appreciate it!

I can’t express how much I appreciated this video. I loved how human it felt. I liked that it wasn’t just sets of 30 sec stretches - it incorporated the importance of how you feel mentally, not just physically. Thank you.

Wow that felt great post chill 10k run. This is my second stretching video that I have completed from your channel and I'm already feeling the benefits! I typically do stretches with short timers, no talking and music but your videos are so much more helpful in helping me discover my personal flexibility and strength. Thank you!!!
