In this video, we take things a step further to explain the difference between stretching, flexibility, and mobility and most importantly, how all three are relevant to you and preventing running injuries.

    I’m so glad for this channel! The one thing I haven’t done all the years I’ve run is stretch. Got bored and was hurting after a run. Now I want to run again and at 60 y/o I want to go about this the right way. Thanks for showing this. I really want to learn to keep my mobility after a run so I’d like to know what other videos you have to keep me cranking. Cheers, here’s to running for years to come.

    So wonderful to hear that, Richard! Our channel is *full* of videos to help you out. You can try searching "beginner", "drills", "strength", or the name of a body part that might need some extra focus such as "calves" or "hips"!

    I just want to thank you Coach Holly. I have been subscribed to the channel for a little while now. I saw Coach Nate's video on the couch stretch that led me over to this video afterwards. I have had a nagging hamstring injury (apparently just a tight knot) for over a year now. I thought I tore my hamstring or had some kind of tendon issue in my hamstring glute area. I have tried everything I could think of stretching or otherwise. I went from running 15 mile runs to only barely being able to push through 2 mile runs. I saw your video using the lacrosse ball to improve range of motion (and although I don't have a lacrosse ball, I do have a baseball). I did this stretching using the ball and it has been a night and day difference. I don't usually comment but I just wanted to say thanks for the info and the videos.

    Excellent info that I've been incorporating into my workouts for my last taxday Marathon. Unfortunately this past weekend I ran an extremely hilly(Illinois standards) 10mile. All good until about 9.6 on the very last downhill which is very steep. Pulled my rt jammie, bad, and had to grit it thru the finish. Now what? Very tender up towards the top third. Rolling lightly but it is painful, like an extreme knot, but no knot! AHH.

    What's an ideal amount of time for a cool down? I love getting into all the joints and muscles and it feels amazing and on days I don't have time constraints I can go an hour and not even realize it. But most days I don't have that much time--for a tight schedule, what's the ideal and/or minimum amount of time I should spend cooling down and doing stretching and mobility exercises to keep my body in good shape?

    Hi holly extremely helpful video I hv stiffness in archilles tendon and ankle.. when I wake up it’s just so stiff, when I stand up from desk chair setup after long hours of sitting it’s extremely stiff...as if something is pulling badly.. I hv done some days of Physiotherapy sessions for mobility and I do those stretches but the stiffness is intact..can you please suggest some exercises or movements to get rid off f archilles tendon and ankle stiffness? Also I had plantar fasciitis due to running with flat foot I hv gotten rid of the fasciitis by soft tissue manipulation n massage from my physiotherapist also hv got arch support insoles but foot still hurts in the area where I hv no arch and unable to run..Infact now I am unable to do brisk walking😔 both of which I absolutely loved doing.. can u pls make some videos for ppl with flat foot?... Thanks in advance 😊
