      @@JamesDunne I will do. I run and do martial arts and unless I really focus, my hip flexor flexibility isn't great, which can limit the height of some of my kicks. I am really looking forward to including that one, as it looks like a more comfortable stretch

    This series of stretches felt great. Thanks for a succinct list of stretches that feels doable and not overwhelming.
    Also, a couple of years ago I started finishing my runs with 5 to 10 minutes of walking and it’s made a huge difference in how I feel post run. Nice to know someone else feels similarly.

    • @JamesDunne
      @JamesDunne  Před 4 lety +15

      Thanks! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the stretch routine! Yeah, taking time to walk for a few minutes at the end of a run, rather than running all the way to the front door makes such a big difference for me. Glad you agree!
