10-Minute Guided Stretching Routine for Runners

This guided stretching routine is great for runners or anyone with tight hips! We'll hold each static stretch for about 30 seconds, spending a total of 10 minutes targeting some of the common tight areas for those who run (or spin) frequently.

I recommend doing this stretching routine AFTER a run. Before a run, focus on mobility and dynamic stretches/movements. I have some guided running warm ups on my channel:

I've olnly been doing this for a week and I can already see improvements in my hamstrings flexibility. Very helpful for my long runs! 😊

Clear instructions, good audio quality and no music!

I like how you didn’t put music because I was able to put my own. Awesome video, super relaxing (:

I’ve been running a lot preparing for a half marathon, and i used to only stretch my hamstrings bending down, calves on a step, and quads holding my foot. This thing stretched my booty like it was a rubber band, all the sides of the legs and the something band she said, i mean i was starting to feel awful but i love this i love it thank you

Thanks for this. It's my first time stretching like this and I'm a little bigger so a little uncomfortable but I want to start running so I have to stretch. Thanks again.

[elainemartel]

thank you, I really like this because of silence while holding the stretches. No cheesy music, just quiet.

[jaredbowie]

Found this this morning for an after run stretch. Felt great. Enjoy the the flow and instructions were perfect.

I have worked my way up to being fairly flexible, but one thing the people here on YouTube never stretch out is the calves. Since I have started running they have been my achilles heel, no pun intended. This is the best/perfect video for hitting all the sore spots. Add in 5 min of foam rolling before and after, your golden!

I have used your video for about a week and I notice a huge difference in my form and longevity. Not to mention just feeling better all around.

[gabedepaul]

BRUTAL! Going to do this every day this week until i dont cry at the end

[marklondrico]

Great workout I will definitely add it in! Thank you so much!

[happyminds]
