    Perfect timing on this video, Coach Holly. I've been having some new knee pain the past couple weeks with a race this Saturday, so will try these exercises and stretches for sure. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for this! I've been having so much trouble with my right foot turning out at the front and also flicking out to the side behind me and had no idea how to fix! I've done a lot of yoga over the years and I'm sure that my hips have way more external rotation than I want when I'm running. Much appreciated, thanks!

    Yesterday I read an article talking about relative torso, femur, shin lengths. People with long femurs compared to their torso and shin, which is rare, are supposed to naturally be flexible and agile. It makes sense that you excelled in ballet.

    Been running for many years. I’ve had Achilles pain since March of this year, after having had to take a 4 month running break. Started really studying my gait and trying to get to the core of this problem. Took some treadmill video and self-analyzed, and realized that I supinate/under pronate. Applied the principles in this video, and in a remarkably short period of time, I have been able to nearly eliminate my Achilles pain. The only modification I’ve done is to point my toes inward just a bit to get some more stretch. Thank you so much!

    Thank you, coach Holly. This video is what I really need, because I've had some achiness on my left hip joint which has moved to the left front right above my left quadraceps. Following your 7 minute prerun workout and post run stretchings along with yoga, the pain has improved!!! As I age, I listen more and more to pain of my body and faithfully do the stretchings. Again, thanks so much!!!

    These are great even on a non running day. You can try them mid run as well if things are feeling tight. If you don't want to get on the ground for the pigeon stretch and there's a park bench nearby, you can prob your leg up on that to get into the pigeon shape. I've even used the hood of my far at the trail heads :)

    Here today because of my recurring achillies tendon pain after long runs, and because Coach Holly is really smart. Example: 2:53 leg swing test of hip range of motion, especially informative while keeping hips and lower back neutral. After years of sitting, my hips are not mobile.

  • @TheRunExperience

    @TheRunExperience

    5 жыл бұрын

    You can do an elevated pigeon, in which you prop your leg up on the arm of a couch or a bench. It might be more comfortable that way. If your shin still isn't getting close to 90 degrees there, then just start where you're at. With practice and repetition of this drill you might be able to get closer to that angle, but everyone's hip shape is a little different. If you don't get to exactly 90 degrees, don't sweat it. The stretch is still effective and great to practice. Just make sure to keep your hips squared to the front.
