I can recite this cooldown now. I've heard it more times than the Lord's Prayer. I still watch the video every time though. It's always a comfort to listen to as well as follow. And it works!
I find I am exactly like this too! I know it off by heart like all the moves but I find it so comforting to do it at the same time as seeing and hearing Ben do it too! It’s like having your own personal coach there motivating you to do each part! 💯
My cool down typically involves coming home through the door to my kids and chasing them at a low aerobic threshold.. or in their terms “watch out for the sweat monster”. But, this video is everything I should be doing. Keep up the good work!!
I thought most peer reviewed evidence suggested that static stretching doesnt actually do anything to reduce DOMS, and can actually reduce strength. What is the benefit in your opinion
Your muscles act as a strut, like a tendon when you run. Being stiff is more efficient but comes with a higher degree of injury risk. That's what pro coaches try to balance. For most of us, having good flexibility and reducing injury risk will help us be more consistent and have better fitness gains.
I run a 23min hilly, muddy Park Run and have been running for 43 years. Watched your clips and realised I have been way over doing it warming up and cooling down. I would jog on the spot, stretch gradually each muscle group for sets of 3 x 5. I think the muscles were pulled before I even started! Cooling down was a lot of toe touching and hip flexor stretches plus aggressive calf stretches. I had two runs using your warm up and cool down and my legs felt loose all the way through and the next day. Will let you know how the next park run goes in the mud...
Very helpful! Will use it on the intermediate marathon plan I bought and start soon - What are the distances on the pyramid workouts within the plan? Can’t see them anywhere!
completed my 3 months training for Half Martthon from scratch completed under 1hour 56mins using this cooldowwn and warmup videos, no injury for me,im glad i follow this videos everyday

thanks coach! its been my fav cool down the past one year🎉
Thanks for posting this Ben! Loads of great advice and I am terrible for cooling down after I run.
I follow this religiously! Thank you 🙏
Thanks Ben!
Nice vid M8..👍👍
Love the chill music with it - is that thanks to DJ Sarah? 😉
Indeed! She’s editing more of the videos now.. and doing so well!
@@BenParkes love the videos mate - keep them coming! 👍
Thank you
Finally got a glute stretch without sitting down
Hi hi Ben excellent stretches dude hi fives Sasu
Thank you
Crushing the content creation. Just what I’m needing as my mileage ticks back up for a new training cycle.
Older I get, more important that cool down is.
Still using this after every run!

Great to have a short cooldown stretch!
Thanks Ben! This helps a lot, just to have a short simple follow along cool down after my runs.
Great video Ben, thanks. Its much easier to do a decent cool down when there is something to follow.

The most pointless stretch at the end but I still do it each time.
Great, easy to follow video.
Im on week 3 of couch 2 5k and i do your warmup + cooldown routines before and after every run
Ben are you going to review the New Endorphin range?
Will be reviewing the speed 2!

They are in minutes Elliot! All the best with your training :-)
Thanks for sharing
This is great info!
Where are you in these great videos lately? Looks to be a great place
Well thank you Ben.
With the glute stretch, can you hold on to something solid in front of you and squat deeper if the stretch you demonstrated doesn't work?
Need to do this more after my runs
So glad I found you!
Great tips !
What inseam are those shorts?
Still using this

Great Stuff!
Cool down is important. Great reminder and showing the key stretches. Taking notes 📝 on the Glute & Soleus. 😀
