Last time I went for my 8km run I badly hurt my right calf. I promised myself that I would never run without stretching beforehand. Today I went back and found this video to stretch before my run. Not only did I feel great running, nicely warmed up, but I also did not stop once!! Best time so far too: 6’38 for 7 km outside run. Not bad 😊Thanks!!

This was everything I'd want in a pre run stretch tutorial! The stretches are really energising and I'm excited to see how it'll affect my run today-I also liked the lack of music and fancy editing, it was easy to follow along.
