    After watching your pre and post run stretches, not only do my runs feel much easier, but I’ve found that I’ve increased my running distance by quite a bit. Thank you.

    • @RunBetterwithAsh
      @RunBetterwithAsh  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s amazing, your body must becoming more supple and elastic and getting more out of your range of motion. The consistent work is paying off Christopher, well done 👍🏻😊🙌🏻

    Was hoping you had some stretches for the calves, mine were feeling a bit tight today, I don't think they liked the extra hill I did on my run last night! 😂 Anyway this video has helped massively to ease them, thanks as always Ash! 💖

    Thank you so much for this! The first exercise was really really hard for me but the last one I barely felt anything - are they working different muscles? I was always told I had very short calf muscles

    • @RunBetterwithAsh
      @RunBetterwithAsh  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks 😊 Glad you enjoyed this stretch with me. Thank you for your kind words 🙏 yes one stretch works the inner part and the other works the middle to outer part as we have two main muscles in the calf area.

    Your videos are amazing. I needed a video for a tight calf muscle. I sprained my right ankle, which is now better, but I think it caused my left calf muscle to become tight after running. Your videos are the only videos that (1) have very dynamic stretches!! (2) always do both sides equally, and (3) show you exactly in real time how long to do each exercise, rather than say "Go and do that for 1 minute" and then cut away.
