I've run 225+ road races and triathlons, and completed 106 ultramarathon races (25 100-mile runs). At soon-to-be 71, my muscle stiffness and aches have become borderline chronic. I finally broke out my foam roller and started using it. With the guidance provided by this vid, I'm starting my runs now looser and with better range-of-motion than I've had a long time. Good stuff!
Hi from Columbus, Ohio, USA-I am running my first full marathon next week! I found this video a couple of weeks into my training cycle and have been doing it every day. I’ve had problems with plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, ITB area in my last two half marathon training cycles, but not this time! This video has been a fantastic help to my training. I am confident that this routine has been an enormous contributor to my ability to train throughout this build without injury. And I love doing it every day because it feels great and helps speed my recovery for my next run. Thanks so much!
Training for my first marathon and starting taking my recovery more seriously and added foam rolling! I feel a million times better!! Thank you from Minnesota ❤
From Maryland doing these a couple times a week for cross country/track!! This has been so helpful- thank you so much for putting in a simple, short, yet effective routine for us!! 🔥🔥
Los Angeles here, I’m running my first marathon in March and have found this cool down/recovery exercise so helpful in reducing tension and soreness! Thank you so much!
Hi from London! Over half way through my half marathon plan & with the increased volume my legs feel tighter during the runs. Loving this routine for post workout 😊
Hi, I’m from Illinois, I’m in my 20s and I’ve been having knee pain in my left leg due to over usage from running every day. This was really helpful on the road to strengthening my knee!
Awesome video, got back into running 2 months ago and always felt my calves get extremely tight immediately after running. This video helped out tremendously. Much love from South Dakota‼️
Cheers Tom, very useful for me and helped a lot to loosen up sore legs post-run. Also a big fan of the 30 min dumbbell and barbell workouts and the tough finishers when shorter on time. Thanks for the channel!
This was so helpful! I was a runner through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college and then I took 10 year break, but now that I’m a father, I want to get back into shape and it’s not been easy. But doing these workouts pre-run and post run have changed everything for me!
Did the full body foam roller video and had my first run without knee pain since last summer, just about to start into this coming summer! 😭SO grateful! Also for your next foam roll video, TFL is always feelin spicy! Huge thank you 🙏🏼
Found this video searching TH-cam for fighting foam rolling for runners. I'm in Jax Florida and that abductor role I've never seen before and it really exposed a part of my legs that is quite sore 😮 Thanks for the helpful video!
Great video! Thank you, Tom. Foam rolling from NYC after some training to get ready for the NYC Marathon this fall. I’m sure I’ll be rewatching this video many time!
Thanks from Japan! This is the first time I have tried rolling and you made it easy to understand and also gave variations so that I didn't over do it. Great job!
Hey Tom, happy new year.. starting back at running so this will be a good addition for pre and post run - plus strengthening my calves.. Thanks for posting these videos! from Sydney Australia
Hey tom, I am from India - I have started doing two runs a day and this has really helped me loosen up the knots in my muscles and helped a lot with my sore spots. Thank you for this video
Thank you! Getting back into a running routine after back surgery and pregnancy several years later. I hadn’t been very disciplined with my recovery and as I’ve aged, it’s been much more important to me to incorporate into my training. Appreciate the tips!
This just saved me after the Toronto Women's 5k. First race since I tore my meniscus, and walked fast with a friend doing her first race! This routine was amazing 😍
Hi , I am new subscriber I just watched your exercise video. I just bought my foam roller and I look for a video to watch for safety precation before I use mine.I found your video today that is very helpful. thank you for sharing your educational exercise video. I enjoy watching you and I appreciate. God Bless and have a great day!
This year I turn 40 wahh and after injuring myself running last Sept am finally starting a slow return to running program startin today. I like this routone as its short and sweet foam rolling most important used muscles when runnin!❤

Prepping for the NYRR Brooklyn Half Marathon this Saturday! Throughout my training I haven't been a consistent roller. But this week I want to aim to do it after all my runs to feel the best for the race. Rolling from Brooklyn, WI today, but I'll be in Brooklyn, NY the rest of the week!
This was great!! Thank you so much. I’m finally seeing improvement in my running and getting more miles but I have been held back by my lack of knowledge on how to properly recover! This is definitely gonna be a regular part of my routine:) Coming from the states🇺🇸 Eugene, OR
This is great! Thanks Tom! Quick question: Do we have to do any other PRE work or exercise other than foam rolling before going for a run or do you think doing this 10-minute foam rolling is sufficient? Thanks again 🙏🏼
This was incredible! Thank you Tom! I did a 12km run (jog and walk for me mostly ) and I should’ve did these yesterday but I’m here the next morning and I’m so happy to have found your channel. I know that recovery is so important but I still neglect it. Thank you for providing amazing content
