[@CountachLamborghini]

I'm nursing a pulled left calf, I do warm up and try to do dynamic pre-run. But maybe not the correct type of warm up. Will certainly give this routine a go. Thanks for the video Ash.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Good stuff. Thank you too 🙌🏻😊

[@trackballsteam_10]

Ooh this stretch is a little bit high impact on my body. But I am planning on doing faster walks, so I better get used to it hahaha

I sprayed myself with sunscreen before I left to run so it had time to sit in during the warm-up. I think I will forever think of you when I spray SPF now. 😂😂
