Hi Coach Brian! A few months back I began your stretching routine to improve running performance. I ran the same route everytime and I would always stop and take breaks. I would always tell myself, "One day I will be able to do the full distance without stopping". Today, I was able to accomplish my goal and I ran the entire route without taking any breaks. I'm quite proud because this has taken me a while to accomplish and now I know my strength has increased. Thanks to your video, I was able to stay motivated and improve my running. I'm going to run longer distances now to increase my strength further. Thanks for your help!

Appreciate you’re sharing training techniques with us on YT. Thank you 😊

Highly recommend you warmup before any workouts and especially running. I thought I would never need to warmup until I ran and my knee swole up. Knee circles look silly but they prime your ankles for running.💯 As you age past 25 your body becomes less elastic and the need to take care of your body becomes more important. Your health is your wealth. 🙏🏾

Dynamic stretching first. Static stretching afterwards. Some of these are useful but stretching on a cold muscle can cause issues which has been explained why several years ago college athletes were being injured more so for static stretching before a race.

You can easily go and look it up. I do lots of leg swings and squats to activate the quads. Squats are different than stretching. These are all not dynamic stretches. When you stretch a cold muscle that is called static stretching. You do static stretching on a very warm muscle after a run. But whatever works for you do whatever you want. I'm a competitive runner and ran on a national level.. Good luck with your running stay strong and always push forward.
