I just finished one of your active warmups as this video posted. Thanks for your content. I am an engineer officer in the US Army, working through plantar fasciitis. Your videos have helped me recover. Thanks again.
I’m Glad I’m not alone . I do this pre run , post run and on / off before going to bed. Firm believer in these simple routines. Keeps my legs and body feeling fresh. Way to go !!!
Good Stretching Exercises, well explained and now I have new stretching movements to incorporate prior to and after my runs. This will help much..Thank you.
It's totally mind muscle connection. I've been trying to implement exactly what you've been preaching with the rolling and activation exercises in your previous videos and it's been helping my wonkiness out on my runs a lot. This along with around two sets of lunges, side lunges, and squats post run are really a great combo. It's amazing how easily your body can perform running without the appropriate musculature involvement... I did like half of my run the other day and didn't feel my posterior chain until half way through. It just shows how important it is to get these muscles firing for injury prevention. Especially for newer runners like myself.
Charging my V roller now....have not used it for over a year...with a full charge , it will skip across the room..lol You guys are good motivators! Thnx
Sandi always drops great videos, so much detailed info every time! Totally me right now, tightness everywhere from not stretching enough and now €90 lighter this week due to the physio.
"many runners never realize how tight their muscles are until issues arise..." Amen. That's where I am. Trying to get out from under this. Thanks for the help!
So how much time should it take to do the entire warmup sequences in this video? I’m currently rehabbing my IT band syndrome for the past 6 weeks and all is good so far. I do dynamic stretches before my runs and then 10 or so leg/glutes/hip stretches after followed by foam rolling. It seems like I have this routine backwards according to your video?
It depends... I'll take more time and use the lacrosse ball if I'm feeling tight or a bit tired from a speed workout or long run. If I'm focused and feeling good ~10 minutes is sufficient, but there are days where I'm short on time or driving to a trailhead and will just do some quick mobility and activation exercises right before I run. Good luck taking care of the tight calves. If this doesn't help there are other things to look at so you'll solve it.
Is a active release + mobility session without a run or activation 'phase' useful? How many times a week before it is really benefical? I'm an amateur runner who only runs 2-3 times a week (usually half marathon training) and tries to do 2 mobility or activation sessions a week as prehab.
Foam does it for me now, I never done it before a run. It helps reduce tightness as you say. I been learning and doing Yoga which I use some for pre warm-up
the stretches should also be done keeping in mind that one is about to engage joints in running for an hour- so 20 min tops before a run. If you do more than that, and have practiced yoga before, your body will take the stretching to next level, a level that is not compatible with running. I've had two injuries doing full yoga stretching then following that with running or vice versa. Yoga stretching is a stretching that builds over an hour, more and more to an ideal form (posture).
I like to change it up and typically rotate through all the exercises shown in the video. It also depends on what I feel like I need to focus on the most. But I do hope to do a follow-along video. :)
Great content as usual ! A follow along video would be gold...
Yes and very usefull to many of us
Follow along! Such a good idea. Full session no cuts.
Yes, follow along! 🙏
I'll try to make that happen! :)

Thank you for following along! Knowing I helped someone always makes my day so thank you!
Thanks coach your mobility videos have helped me a lot especially dealing with IT issues
"the crucial factor to any activation excersize is to make sure you're using the muscles you're supposed to be using" love that! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
So awesome to see all the things I don't do. Thanks!
Lol! No problem!

*I'm Downloading this video And using it now*
thank you for taking the time to explain and film this. exactly what I was looking for!
You are so strong Sandi! These are great exercises.
Thanks, very informative. I really need to start spending more time doing these, rather than just few basic stretches.
Super interesting. A video of a full guided routine would be greatly appreciated.
Since I know you I can give you some specific suggestions this week. Make sure I remember. :)

Exactly! I've had issues with this in the past and this information really helped me.
More great info from another great video

Really good!

Excellent tips ❤️❤️
Great content as always Sandy!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing your routine. Would be good to see a more detailed vlog going through the band exercises you incorporate. Stay safe.
Wish there was a description name to some of these stretches listed.
Another great video! Thank you!

No problem! The information in this video has helped me a lot so I'm just trying to pay it forward.

I've had a tight calf for months. Will start rolling instead of only stretch. How long does your warm up routine take?

Very helpful information! Just curious, what kind of balls are you using? Thanks❤️
Thanks! There's a lacrosse ball, a tennis ball, and a "peanut" which is basically two balls together.

Isn't it bad to foam roll the lower back?

TQ
What about a nice video with your preferred mobility and activation exercises? 🤩

👏🙏 You look good NOT overstrained.
