🏃🩻 Anatomy of a Runner Course - runbetterwithash.com/anatomy-... Welcome to the "Post Run Recharge" session, designed especially for runners like you. After your invigorating run, it's crucial to give your body the care it deserves. In this routine, we'll explore deep stretching exercises aimed at releasing tension and enhancing recovery.
Join me as I guide you through a series of soothing stretches that target your muscles and joints, allowing you to unwind and recover effectively. This practice will boost your flexibility and leave you feeling recharged, both physically and mentally.
I started running a few months ago, and have been watching your videos ever since. I genuinely don't understand how your videos don't have more views, they stand out to me over any other resource. You provide great content for free, and your constant emphasis on doing what feels good for each unique body is so so important and really encourages me. I love feeling my body destress and relax as the videos progress, I never knew that stretching could feel so good before I found your channel! I really enjoyed the longer style of video, I definitely neglect my upper body stretches 😅. Thanks for the video :D
Oh wow!! thank you so much for taking the time to send me this comment, it’s made my weekend and put a big smile on my face 🙏😊 It’s so incredibly humbling to know that my videos have helped you and that you value my videos so highly, thank you! Theres so much more to come and hopefully more people will start to catch on to looking after their body in 2024! Please do keep me updated with your progress running and stretching Caili 🙌🏻
ahhh...you told us to smile just at the right moment. Such a little thing that is often forgotten. I felt those little happy endorphins release, as the corners of my mouth elevated. Thanks Ash
Fantastic that’s so great to hear Karen, thanks for commenting as always. So glad I could pop with the reminder at the right time! Have a great weekend 🙌🏻😊
Just did this video after a tough 6 miles, after a poor night’s sleep and feeling very sad. Felt good to be deepening my breath, slowing my nervous system down, hearing Ash’s cheery voice. Really appreciate the support as I continue to train for the London half marathon in April! See ya soon for another video 🙌🏼
So glad I could help you have a good stretch after your tough 6 miler Lydia 😊 I totally understand you with regards to sleep as we have 6 and 3 year old girls that have had long periods of sleep deprivation at times, it’s so tough isn’t it?!! Well done for having the motivation to get out there and train for you London half marathon 🙌🏻 I appreciate you commenting, thank you 🙏
This is honestly the best stretch I've ever had. Thank you for direct and straightforward directions and constant reminders that we have to be kind to our bodies and be aware of our bodily limits.
Aww wow, thank you so much for your comment, that has really made my morning reading it! So happy to help you have a good stretch and remind you to be kind to our body, thank you too 🙏😀
8 weeks into my running journey and my my body/knees felt so stiff. This stretch made me feel brand new! Had no idea mobility stretching was so important, will keep up every day 🙌🏽
Fantastic! Well done for starting your stretching journey too. Thank you, I appreciate your comment 🙏😊
I went from 0 to 5k in 8 weeks, and started with some improvised stretching before and after running. I felt terrible, and I believe that I was on my way to harm my own body. Then a few weeks in, I started doing your pre- and post running stretch videos, and I feel a lot better! It's an easier and more comfortable run, and it's the perfect way to stretch and relax afterwards. Thank you so much for making me stretch AND to make me reflect on my run, and for always making me feel better, even when it was a tough and bad run. Thanks for the video, Ash 🙏🏼
Same, 8 weeks in and although I can breeze through it my knees and body have started to feel so stiff 😢
Thank you so much for your comment Jeantte. I appreciate knowing that my videos have helped you create a caring post run routine for your body 🙌🏻 well done on your running journey so far 👍🏻😊
8 weeks into my marathon training and by far the best stretching session I’ve had!
Amazing! Glad it helped you recover as you train for your marathon. Thank you so much for commenting 😊
This is one of the best CZcams stretches I’ve ever done before!
Thank you so much Francesca, I really appreciate you commenting your kind words 😀
Hey mate, as a young guy I never really stretched. My worst instance of this was after running a marathon, I had a shower and went to bed, that was it.
Recently I’ve learned how much mobility I’ve lost by smashing my self at the gym each day combined with running and it definitely feels weird since not a lot of people my age stretch but I’ve noticed massive improvements through watching your videos after every run.
Just wanted to give my thanks for having this content be free and available to anyone, since I can’t afford proper yoga classes so this is helping me out a ton.
Cheers.
Hey mate!! That’s amazing to hear, thank you so much for taking the time to share with me. I feel very humbled to be able to help your mobility. Well done for starting your stretching routine as a young guy. I started about 26 years old and it’s something I’ll keep up for life for the longevity of my mobility/movement. Thanks again for commenting, have a great weekend 👍🏻😊
This was a wonderfully comprehensive stretch!!! Truly hit every muscle I needed and didn’t even know I needed. Thank you!!
Amazing!! That’s so great to hear this helped you Paige. Thanks for commenting to let me know 🙏😊
Thank you so much Ash, I really enjoyed this longer session. Thank you also for continuing to remind us that we can help you by sharing the videos and offering us a way free and easy way to support your work.
You're so welcome Conrad, it is a big support to engage with my videos so I am very grateful for you supporting me in that way 🙏 Thanks for stretching and sharing your thoughts! Plenty more in the pipeline from my channel 😀
Another great stretch, the right thing to do after a demanding interval training on the treadmill. Thank you, Ash!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment 🙏 well done for doing intervals 😊
My husband discovered your channel a couple of months ago. Love it!
We did a 14km beach run in Costa Rica this morning. Was very grateful for this practice this afternoon.
That is awesome! So glad I could help you and your husband stretch 😊 thanks for commenting to let me know you was here stretching with me after your 14k beach run, well done on that 🙌🏻greetings to Costa Rica from the UK 👋
This was perfect after my 23 miler! My upper body tenses up more the longer I run and I really appreciated the focus on the shoulders. This was also a little gentler on my lower body which is already sore from the miles and doesn't need anything intense. Loved it!
Thanks Becky, so glad you loved this stretch! Well done on the 23 miler 🙌 thank you for stretching with me and then leaving a comment 😀
As always, huge thanks for your videos! I am now training for my 3rd half marathon, and I have seen a remarkable improvement in my recovery since I followed your advice and decided never to skip the stretch again! And better recovery leads of course to better training sessions and less pains and aches...
I am hugely grateful to you!
As well, I now look forward to the after-run stretching session, it just feels so good!
Your videos are full of great advice, thanks so much, keep up the great work, and hope this channels keep growing!
Oh wow, that’s so nice to read. Thank you so much 🙏 I appreciate you coming back to my channel and stretching with me regularly. I’m so glad that I’m able to help your recovery in prep for your 3rd marathon, well done on that 🙌🏻😊
Another great stretch routine. Felt good after a chilly, windy and dark 5 am run. Thank you.
Back into the routine Jaime, glad the injury is behind you! I'm just off out for a chilly run too 😀👍
Stretching from Aotearoa New Zealand! I’ve only just started running and your stretch videos are so encouraging and supportive, especially when you say “us runners” - I feel like I’m an actual runner 🥹 Love the deep stretches and will shout you out here 🙌🏽
You're so welcome Vanessa! Thank you, I appreciate you taking time to comment 🙏 I always say, if you run you’re a runner. Doesn’t matter how far or how fast 😊 greetings to NZ from England 👋
I just wanted to share how transformative your warm-up and stretching routines have been for me. Today marks my fifth day running this week, and I truly feel the difference your guidance has made in my form, endurance, and recovery. This morning, I started with the 10-minute Beginners Warm-Up, and it was just what my body needed to kick off the run. After I finished, I did the Post-Run Deep Recharge: Stretching for Beginners routine. It was incredibly soothing and felt as if it was tailored just for my needs after the run. I've decided to make your Bedtime Stretch part of my daily routine. On my running days, I'll continue to incorporate the 10-minute warm-up and the post-run recharge. It's a perfect combination that really works for me. Thank you so much for the fantastic routines and for helping me find the right approach to my fitness. Your expertise has made a significant impact on my training and recovery.
Oh wow!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me Carol. I am so humbled to hear how my videos are helping you create this new healthy routine around stretching and caring for your body in-between running. Well done for being consistent and creating this new routine. There’s lots more to come. Thanks again for commenting your kind feedback 🙏😊
I do this after every run now! Perfect post run stretch routine
Glad you liked this stretch with me Rachel, thank you so much for commenting 🙏😊
Middle of the week stretch session, I walk 7K+ everyday, was perfect just what my body needed, thank you!🙏🏻
Amazing Dee, well done for being so active 🙌🏻 thanks as always for your comments 😊
i usually do a shorter stretch but i’ve been away from running for a while so consequently it’s been a bit of a painful restart- this longer more involved stretch really softened the blow and put me in a much better body/ mind state, bravo and thanks, i’ll be back
Amazing!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this stretch with me and it helped put you in much better state mind and body 😊 thanks for commenting to let me know🙏
Hi Ash. I practice sports massage and I'm a runner, so my body takes a pounding! I've tried stand alone running stretches and yoga stretches for runners. Your approach, with the dynamic yoga stretches, are the perfect combination. The upper body stretches in this routine were an eye opener! My massage therapist stiff muscles were yelling! However, I felt great afterwards! Thank you so much for your follow along routines. Much appreciated! I'll be a better runner and therapist going forward 😊
Oh wow!! Thank you so much for your kind words Joanne. That is so amazing to read. I can only imagine how much work you get through as a sports massage therapist. I’m so glad you can relate to the dynamic nature of my practice. I’ve always found static to be unnatural as our bodies are pulsing (heart, brainwaves, breathing) so it feels more natural to me to wiggle and move the body gently in a soothing way. Thanks again for your comment 🙏😊
@@RunBetterwithAsh you are very welcome. You help so many people. Thanks again 😀
Thank you Ash! New runner, really enjoy the post run stretch!
You're so welcome Rachel, I’m glad you enjoyed this stretch with me😊 thanks for commenting 🙏 I hope you get the running bug 🙌🏻
I loved your reminders to take it slow and listen to the body. Hearing your explanations really put me in the zone, you had great pacing, and I felt like I got a good stretch that most videos just don't leave me feelinlg with. I also apppreciate that you do not have music on in the background as it can be pretty distracting for me, and I like to play my own anyways. So happy I found you, adding this to my treasurebox of practices to repeat. Thank you, Ash!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking time to comment and let me know how you feel about my explanations and no music 🙏😊
Just finished a 6.5km run. I’m in a bit of a training slump, but I got out and feel so much better after this wonderful stretch. Thanks for taking the time to create this free content and doing it in such a gentle way. I appreciate the quiet (no music), slow, detailed, yet positive instructions.
Thank you so much Catherine. I really appreciate that, glad you enjoyed this stretch with me and my style of session 😊 well done on getting out on your run when in a training slump 🙌🏻
Did my first 7 km run today. It was hard and my body was tense but after this stretch I feel so much better.
I appreciate that, thank you so much 🙏😊
Thank you ❤ Your videos are very helpful!
Thank you too Ishita, I appreciate your comments 👍🏻😊❤️
Really great stretching. Thank you! 😊
You're so welcome Katerina. So glad you enjoyed this stretch with me 😊 thanks for commenting 🙌🏻

Another great stretch! Thank you for this, your post-run stretch routines are my favourites!
Glad you enjoy stretching with me Sarah! I appreciate your comments, thank you so much 🙏😊
I did this stretch the day after my half marathon- my body really appreciated and benefited from it. I woke up sore and now feel much more mobile. Thanks
Well done o the half marathon Winston!! Great idea to stretch the next day and work through your joints and muscles to get them a bit more supple. Thanks for commenting 👍
Thank you, great streching session!

Really enjoy the dynamic stretches! Telling my friends about your channel!!
Awesome, thank you so much as always 🙏😊
Went on a little 3.5 mi, head started pounding halfway through. Got home and drunk some water and immediately did this, could feel the headache starting to go away about 5 min in. Rough run, great way to cool down at the end. Love your stretches!
Sounds like you was maybe a bit dehydrated, well done for getting the water in 👍🏻 so glad my video was able to help you cooldown and hopefully feel better! Thanks for your kind words 🙏😊
Haven't been running in a while. Got out there for a 5k today and needed a nice long stretch afterwards. This was just perfect, thank you Ash!
Thank you too, I appreciate you taking time to comment 🙏😊
This video was absolutely great! Your calming voice and emphasis on listening to our unique bodies is so rare. Thanks,Ash🎉

Just what I needed, Ash! Thanks for keeping me flexible & strong.
So glad I'm able to help keep you strong and supple Peter! Well done for putting the work in, I'm just a guide, you keep doing the hard stuff (consistency with your running and stretching) 🙌😀
Thank you Ash. I also like this longer session. Not only do I feel the muscles relaxed but it’s also a good way to relax the mind to prepare for another day of work.
You're so welcome Ernista and you are absolutely right, it is so important to breathe and reflect before we start the rest of our day so the mind is a little less busy! thanks for stretching with me 🙏
Thanks Ash that flew by and made me feel so good . Such simple but effective stretches 😊 have a great evening
Thank you Natasha, I’m glad you enjoyed this and it felt like it flew by. Sometimes simple is best isn’t it 😊 thanks for stretching with me and commenting as ever 🙏
I can't tell you how much your videos are helping me, Ash. I run to release sadness and anger, and without your stretches the runs would only be half as effective. Thank you.
Oh wow, that’s so amazing to hear Anna!! I am very humbled that you keep coming back and stretching with me after all this time, thank you too 😊
As usual, this really hit the spot! Thank you, thank you, thank you ash!
Amazing to hear Christopher, a BIG thank you to you too for leaving comments after your stretches with me its great to see you popping up in the comments so regularly!

Loved the flow of this one, also liked that it was a bit more upper body focused, a nice switch up while still having everything essential.

Ash, I recently found your videos and quickly became a subscriber. I've been an active athlete for many years but a few years ago I started having R knee issues, which curtailed my running (but not my cycling). I run just for fun and exercise now. Your videos and advice have helped with my return to enjoying running again. Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and becoming a subscriber 🙏 welcome to my CZcams community. I’m so humbled to hear that my videos have helped you. Well done for taking the care of your body it needs now you’ve had knee issues 🙌🏻😊

Brilliant, that’s so good to hear that this helped your hips and back. Thanks too for your support in the comments 🙌🏻😊
