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

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

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 🙌🏼

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.

This is one of the best YouTube stretches I’ve ever done before!

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 🙏🏼

I had an argument with my partner and was feeling quite stressed after she left the house for a meeting. I decided to tend to my stress and go for a run, I haven't ran in a while but I stayed out for an hour just going at my own pace. I felt like I could keep going in terms of my endurance but my feet and ankles were hurting a bit so i thought, better to go home and tend to that. I am so glad I found your video! Your energy is so caring and sweet. I feel centered and happy and excited to make running a regular part of my life again! Thank you so much Ash! best, Jules

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!

8 weeks into my marathon training and by far the best stretching session I’ve had!

[DanielaRosas-ue]

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 🙌🏽

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!

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.

This was a wonderfully comprehensive stretch!!! Truly hit every muscle I needed and didn’t even know I needed. Thank you!!

[junipernd]

This practice is amazing. My favorite thing is that it has little exercises but they are very deep and slow. Honestly I wanted to do a 2nd round of the practice right away. As a runner I found that short fast stretches just don't work for me (so quantity is definitely not the answer), while deeper (30-40+second holds) poses instantly release tension and help recovery so much.

[jaimemoreno]

Another great stretch routine. Felt good after a chilly, windy and dark 5 am run. Thank you.

[lover]

Another great stretch, the right thing to do after a demanding interval training on the treadmill. Thank you, Ash!

[LeviBenesh]

Your mental coaching is worth just as much as the physical stretching. Great Video!

[matthewtilas]

Ash has made my running life better!! Thank you!

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.

I've been using these videos when i wake up then running in the afternoon. It feels like yoga for runners. Love it.
