What is your current post-run routine? Let us know in the comments if you have tried any of these exercises, or if you will be incorporating them into your running routine from now!
Stretching after a run has helped enhance my range-of-motion. I do standard routine; hip flexor, thigh, hamstring, calf, lower back and iliotibial band stretch, which I do my best to do but find the cross legged movement slightly odd to do, but I do it anyway. I agree with the 30 seconds each exercise demonstrated. The reactivation circuit is extremely useful.
Hola chicos. I have tried bending to the front the way you showed in the video. Also the one you place place your legs open one in front and the other behind and touch the ground with it. But I'll try the other positions. Thanks again. 😊 Adios.
Haha I can match that! I always come in and collapse on my gym mats and then I say I’m going to stretch but I lay there and play on my phone. My significant other usually calls out from the other room, “Get stretching!” I am as I lay flat on the mat! 🤦♀️
I just started training for my first ever half marathon today! Before today, I couldn't run 600m without almost dying, and I go for 4.5km walks daily. But after watching a lot of your videos, and applying the tips and tricks, I ran a full 4km!! I am mind blown! Breathing, foot placement, music, mental positivity, warm ups all make HUGE difference!! Holy moly!
Been running marathons for over forty years, it’s pretty simple find the stretches that work for you. Remember stretching after your run is preparing you for the next run!
Would you consider uploading a version where you hold every position for 15 seconds, so that people can follow along without having to pause the video?
We have taken all comments requesting a follow along version on board for the next time we upload a video like this! Thanks for your feedback it helps us improve our videos each time we upload!
I have no idea why there aren’t more follow along videos for stretches before/after running... as a daily runner I would be watching those videos everyday... hello RUclips ad $$!! Seems like a no-brainer! Just goes to show that the ppl creating content aren’t actual users/viewers of the content
A triathlete friend suggested jumping on the stationary bike for 20-30 minutes after a long run or race. Use the easiest (no resistance) setting and maintain a faster turnover. After this, I'll do a contrast shower. Alternating 1 minute hot and 30 seconds cold. It's amazing how much these things help to speed up your recovery.
Aww, looking forward to this. I find motivation for stretching after running really tricky...then wonder why I can't climb stairs and sit down with ease 36hrs later 😜🤓🏃🏾♀️
I like to do my calf/shin walks right after my cool down before I start stretching. Feels great to get the shoes off right away and I try to do the walks in the grass or on a soft trail. 1. Walking on toes, neutral foot position 2. Walking on toes, heels inwards (leg externally rotated) 3. Walking on toes, heels outwards (leg internally rotated) 4. Walking on heels neutral foot position 5. Walking on heels, toes inwards (leg internally rotated) 6. Walking on heels, toes outwards (leg externally rotated)
This was really great for someone like me (who is SO lazy with stretching). Would you consider making a video where you can follow along with the stretch routine? Love your work!
I'm not all that young... When I get down on the floor, I worry about the effort to get back up again. And while I'm down there, I might as well look for stuff.
My current post run routine is sitting down as soon as I enter my apartment, literally right next to the entrance door, and break out crying. Tears of joy of course. *sobs*
I just bought a foam roller today! Didnt seem to need one previously but I have increased my running frequency and I certainly need something. Very much looking forward to this video.
I watch and follow this after every run, it helped me complete my first half marathon with a slight knee injury. Plus I like hearing Andy and Anna in the background. Thanks guys!
I agree. Particularly as these sequences are quite particular. Also, a lot of info is given about the stretching, and the extra time would help. Otherwise, we have to keep pausing the video, which is really annoying. I do love the stretch sequences tho! Thank you for putting this together 👍
Bang on - this needs two version - all the talky explanation in a video we watch once - then a straight in version that runs the exercises in real time so you can go along with it instead of stopping each time you hear "now repeat on the other side" - that really would get run every time I ran - think of the micro bits you'd collect.
I follow your instruccions after every session. It makes a huge difference! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wish you the best during these tough times.
i started to strech before i ran (the bare minimum) and just today decided to see wht to do afterwords. i just came home feeling very tired and sore, after doing all these exercises except for mindfulness which i will do after the shower, i feel soooo much better. WHAT a difference. thank you for this video,very well explained and covers everything u need. thank you i loved it
Hi. What distance would you class as a short/mid/long run? I have 3 routes I do. Quick 2.3m with a hill sprint finish. 3.6m flatish & 6.5m to get my twice monthly 10k. Very interesting channel btw as ive not long started running
@Steve D.....if your post was a book, the blurb might read something like this, “I run two 10k’s a month and I’ve only just started running” Well done Steve👍
weetabix2 Thanks for your input. I’ve recently retired from football so 10k’s aren’t much of a problem. Running/jogging is completely different to playing a 90 minute match which consists mainly of short sprints. Don’t try & troll me you muppet. It was a genuine question.
@@bladdydrongo short/mid/long runs depend on the training plan. For example in my current 5k plan, 10 x 200m hill repeats and 10 x 400m speed work I'd consider short. 1-2 hours of running long. For marathon, short runs would be a little bit longer and the long runs up to 3hrs.
You so nailed this one! Went for a long run earlier this week, followed this vid afterwards and the difference is insane! (yeah, I'm -- was, one of the "stretch for 30 sec" runners) Awesome video!
Deserves all 3.5 million views. I used to do this regularly but lazily dropped it. I suspect it was beneficial, so here I am again to remind myself of the details!
I struggle to finish uploading my run stats before I come in my door where I’ll sit on my stairs begging for my fruit & collagen slushy (dairy restricted). Then I hit a very, warm shower (if it’s really hot outdoors just a warm shower). I press/squeeze my leg muscles there before stepping out of the shower-not really using a foam roller, which have hurt too much. I then do calf stretches on my stairs. I will add some of these stretches, but planks are too stressful on my wrist and shoulder joints. Thanks guys! Awaiting the next video. ☕️🏃🏽♀️
So glad i found this channel. I run alot but never stretch, never cool down and just recently bought a foam roller. Im going to start following the advice of this channel.
All these exercises seem incredible to stretch and relax after a run! Could you please record a video where you do it position by position so that we can follow along? Thanks!
So glad I came upon your channel,🦄….as an expert mountain biker my whole life I always skimped on stretching, as it was so painful,lol. But I had ACDF spinal fusion this year and although my will shocked the doctors, I got back on the bike 2 weeks after surgery with a fairly aggressive long ride, boy was the pain excruciating but hey it’s all about mental health and I am determined. But even after many adjustments and going hard I decided to stop riding, I sold off some parts and invested in some carbon super shoes. I absolutely love running, it’s pushing more beyond what I thought I was capable of and I’m getting stronger and faster every day. My next problem is I have a shoulder separation of the A/C joint which limits just about everything other than??, yup you guessed it, RUNNING!,..I’m so blessed to be where I’m at in my journey and finding yours and many other channels is helping me overcome that I am indeed strong enough and I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I just pulled up this video and did all the stretches along with others I do, boy let me tell you, some hurt so bad, especially the hamstrings as that’s my worst part as bicycling shrinks and tightens it. I feel so good right now as I type this, as I just ran 5.5 miles to and from my surgeons office to go over my latest X-rays. I got once again great news and I had the best surgical team around, another blessing from above. Thanks again for your content and next time Anna is running the NYC Marathon, give me a shout out as I’d love to join…🙏🦄😸
Hello, Thank you for the video. Is it possible to have a completely follow along versions of the warm up and the cool down? Then a additional video for foam rolling. I just like to follow some one else, and use you tube for this already watching videos over and over again. I enjoy the calls, rather than trying to work out the timing and what to do myself. Because of being a Yoga person I can stretch for hours, if I don't watch it. I have enjoyed the running channel work out videos but would appreciate more time to transition between sides.
You’re welcome. It’s absolutely helpful - especially because most stretches have a “flow” to them, i.e. changing from one position to another, helping to cool down gently.
Thank you Running Channel! ♥️ This is much needed knowledge of how to stretch different muscles. I think I knew how to do a half arsed calf stretch against a tree as a hiker and that was it 😂
great video, been running for years but never done any stretches or cool down afterwards, this looks guick and doable, must give it a go after my next run
Some runners swear by refuelling within 30 minutes of finishing a run, preferably with protein. I don't always feel like eating so soon. What do you think? Is the 30-minute rule essential, beneficial, marginal or mythical?
Do what works for you. The variability amongst great athletes is vast and amazing. Some of the best ultra runners in the world don't stretch and don't follow any diet plan. Run and have fun.
3:10 is the time stamp for the start of the flow sequence for anyone like me who's reusing this video but haven't memorised it yet 😂 also for future me 😂
I’ve been running for 6 weeks now. I tend to cool down with a walk for 5 mins + some stretching. I’ll give some of these ones a go though. Thank you for the video.
Step 1: Find your way back again to where there’s water! Don’t wander around lost in 24°C heat after a long run 😂 This totally didn’t happen to me just now 😆
The Running Channel I had water at my start point. I just couldn’t find where I’d left it 😂Luckily the local Indian took pity and gave me a Coke on the house (had no money on me)
@@tictachikes6156 Android Pay or Google Pay is good for this since nearly everyone runs with their phone. Just turn off the NFC chip when you aren't using it.
Really informative, thanks. I wish I’d found you yesterday! Feeling very stiff after the marathon, has this ship now sailed? PS thanks for welcoming us into Mile 27 yesterday. The coffee, poster and atmosphere were amazing!
I haven't explored your channel much but I do have a lot of problems when I run. I think I am still a beginner? I used to run fast and long before but I lost the habit. 1. I am a little heavyset and I have noticed that a little sometimes after running I get a sharp pain deep inside my thigh when I put some load which lasts a long time and it slowly moves on to lower parts of my thigh. I suspect a bad gait. So could you do a video on maintaining proper posture while running. 2. My shoes get very hot when I run and if I am in the mood I can complete my target (7Km) else I sometimes stop in between 4-5 Km. 3. I get bored midway while running in parks. I live in a city, roads are much more interesting. But am I killing myself? My lungs and my knees. All my problems are for beginners, and I think there might be others too. Could you do one on that?
Great suggestion and experiences shared. Cooldown and stretching stands one of the most important post running routine. Used to avoid it and quick to get back to work.. But have soon realised it the hard way..
Hello beautiful running channel :) Yesterday I watched this video again (it is so useful that I get back to it every now and then) and did the grate exercises you suggested. I read that many people already commented and asked for a real time video. I just wanted to ask for the same thing, because it would then make it much easier for us to follow and do the exercises properly. Cheers!
Nice info, but it's really hard for people over 60. I tried some of them, but then I needed help to get up! 😂 I wish you did a video with the same topic but for older people
My goodness mates watched this from USA and this is surely more than helpful Iam athletic soccer player from USA and I do run every morning before my work time and do work out daily and since I run every morning my life has massively turned around in to massive healthy a lot of energize interns as play every game and my stamina became so massive thanks 🙏 for sharing this knowledge
I had many calf pains, you all have helped a great deal. please keep up the good work. your really helping allot, during these hard times. your the only help i have at the moment. Big Thanks There. would stuffed if you all ended the channel.
That's great stuff. My Physio showed me most of that stuff and urged me to do it. Honestly though when I get done with a run I'm TIRED. Must do better. Thanks Running Channel.
Thanks for sharing. I’m not a runner and taken on the C25K challenge to aid my recovery 12 weeks after a heart bypass. I already do dynamic and static stretches around each run but have picked up a couple of extra tips here that will help me!
Really enjoyed that, the end is very interesting to reactivate. I always stretch but hold for a long time which is time consuming and I often feel I lower my heart rate and my muscles too quickly so this is great, thank you. I run 3x a week and have an on going hip injury from a half marathon, my IT band gets tight which leads down to my ankle down outer shin, but after this I feel it has helped a little. Any tips for the IT band would be absolutely great. Look forward to doing the roller video
Great stuff this. Do you have this as a printed version, like a PDF one could print to have nearby instead of coming to the video. I mean, if the vidoe was the duration as the actual stretching would be I would not ask, I woudl simply watch the video everytime insted.
Great tips which i will try soon. One important thing that helps me, once I've done my slow-down is to lie down with a towel underneath me and a towel on top of my lower body. Right hand rests under my sacrum (palm down) and left arm rests under my neck (palm up) . Slow, deep breathing for a few minutes. Sometimes this will activate a microsleep which i find is very helpful for calming the nervous system. If that arm position is too uncomfortable put right palm on left collar bone/ trap and left palm on right collar bone, make sure arms are relaxed and then, if comfortable cross left ankle over right (alternate this from time to time)

I just discovered that myself. It's rather annoying, all that talk talk talk at the beginning.

Great idea. Older runners like myself grew up before the concept of warming up, let alone cooling down, was well known or widely practised.

I jump straight into the ocean right after a run and swim for 15 min straight, live in Hawaii by the water so it’s easy.

Good day from American runners🏃🏽♀️🇺🇸
Yoga and running is a perfect combination from my experience. One can apply some yoga positions for pre and post run stretching. 😊👌
Thanks for the tip!
Agreed. Watched this and thought, child pose, triangle pose, table-top.. I’ll just do yoga instead 🤷🏻♂️
Definitely agree, I was thinking the same.
Poohh
Having a post-run routine is so important.
Thank you. I need to be mindful of engaging in these post run routines, habits.

This would be great if you cut out the intro, went straight to the exercises then held all positions so we can follow along in real time.

Do what works for you. The variability amongst great athletes is vast and amazing. Some of the best ultra runners in the world don't stretch and don't follow any diet plan. Run and have fun.
@@rick.bernal I am going to follow the things said in this comment.
A glass of chocolate milk is a great source of protein and fuel right after a run if you don’t want to eat
I would LOVE if you turned this into a follow along stretching routine!
YES
You wanna run far asf, learn to push your mind and push yourself until you can’t take another step. Works like a charm.
Get mind set!
This video was actually good and useful. I’ll be doing these stretches more often. Thanks!
Glad you found it useful!
Loved it! I am recovering from runners knee and am excited to try these stretches 🙌
This felt so long! I loved it
3:10 is the time stamp for the start of the flow sequence for anyone like me who's reusing this video but haven't memorised it yet 😂 also for future me 😂
Excelent routines! Thanks, from Bogota colombia 👍
I tried this, and your pre run routine before longrun today. Had one of my best runs in a while! Thanks! ❤️
Great to hear!
It's a must.
After many small injuries I could see the benefits of stretching.
Thanks.
Glad you found it helpful 😊
Love your channel
Thank you!
Thanks doing this after every run, very helpful. I've been running for about 1.5 years now and have probably been neglecting steching.
Great to hear you found this helpful 😊
I’ve been running for 6 weeks now. I tend to cool down with a walk for 5 mins + some stretching. I’ll give some of these ones a go though. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
While a cool down walk is good it’s doing nothing for the muscles you just worked really hard.
Probably the most impactful video you guys have made. This has become my routine after each run. It's fantastic. I have added a couple more stretches.
So glad to hear Eric!
3:10
Going to try an incorporate this at the end of my run.
Warm up. Then cool down.
💪
Great stretches as a born again runner, 6ft 2 23 stone, these stretches are extremely useful for injury prevention 👍 Thanks
Glad you found this useful!
Thanks. I'm a mountain biker. I'm also in my mid 50's. Can already tell this will be helpful. Thumbs up
Amazing, thanks!
I have to jump right in the shower after running in this heat I am disgusting 😅
Can relate!
Just did after my second 10k and my legs feel much lighter thank you Anna and Andy. 👏🤗.
Wonderful! You're so welcome!
Is your guy's house haunted? I swear I saw a orb at 3:39 top center right of screen!
I hope not! 😂👀
Seriously, I saw it... I had to rewatch it again.
Followed this routine today and it felt really good tbh, thanks for the routine !
You're so welcome Rafael! Glad you found it helpful!
Step 1: Find your way back again to where there’s water! Don’t wander around lost in 24°C heat after a long run 😂 This totally didn’t happen to me just now 😆
Hydration is key after a run, very important to the post-run routine!
The Running Channel I had water at my start point. I just couldn’t find where I’d left it 😂Luckily the local Indian took pity and gave me a Coke on the house (had no money on me)
@@tictachikes6156 Android Pay or Google Pay is good for this since nearly everyone runs with their phone. Just turn off the NFC chip when you aren't using it.
John Airey I have Apple Pay but my phone was out of battery so I just had my Amazfit watch and keys! Another time though 😂
Really informative, thanks. I wish I’d found you yesterday! Feeling very stiff after the marathon, has this ship now sailed? PS thanks for welcoming us into Mile 27 yesterday. The coffee, poster and atmosphere were amazing!
I never knew what I was missing !!! Subbed and dusted. RUclips ads are sometimes actually good
Welcome on board! We’re delighted to have you along. Anything you specifically want us to make a video on...?
I haven't explored your channel much but I do have a lot of problems when I run. I think I am still a beginner? I used to run fast and long before but I lost the habit.
1. I am a little heavyset and I have noticed that a little sometimes after running I get a sharp pain deep inside my thigh when I put some load which lasts a long time and it slowly moves on to lower parts of my thigh. I suspect a bad gait. So could you do a video on maintaining proper posture while running.
2. My shoes get very hot when I run and if I am in the mood I can complete my target (7Km) else I sometimes stop in between 4-5 Km.
3. I get bored midway while running in parks. I live in a city, roads are much more interesting. But am I killing myself? My lungs and my knees.
All my problems are for beginners, and I think there might be others too. Could you do one on that?
Great suggestion and experiences shared. Cooldown and stretching stands one of the most important post running routine. Used to avoid it and quick to get back to work.. But have soon realised it the hard way..
Great stretches, vert helpful! Thank you
You're so welcome!
I've adopted this as my post-run routine, and I'm very pleased with the results!
Great to hear, Jameel!
Really informative for such a teenager like me
Thanks for this chennal.
love from Pakistan
Hello beautiful running channel :) Yesterday I watched this video again (it is so useful that I get back to it every now and then) and did the grate exercises you suggested. I read that many people already commented and asked for a real time video. I just wanted to ask for the same thing, because it would then make it much easier for us to follow and do the exercises properly. Cheers!
Thank you for these excellent advices!
Nice info, but it's really hard for people over 60. I tried some of them, but then I needed help to get up! 😂
I wish you did a video with the same topic but for older people
It's definitely something we can look into doing if that would be useful!
@@runningchannel Thank you!
My goodness mates watched this from USA and this is surely more than helpful Iam athletic soccer player from USA and I do run every morning before my work time and do work out daily and since I run every morning my life has massively turned around in to massive healthy a lot of energize interns as play every game and my stamina became so massive thanks 🙏 for sharing this knowledge
Hello. Its me Rauf age 19 From PAKISTAN🇵🇰. And i am new subscriber here. Also a Runner🏅🤸♂️.Than You
Welcome!
It would be great to make a follow along video of these streches
Extremely helpful! Thanks
You're welcome!
I had many calf pains, you all have helped a great deal. please keep up the good work. your really helping allot, during these hard times. your the only help i have at the moment. Big Thanks There. would stuffed if you all ended the channel.
That's so great to hear! Our pleasure!
DUDE THIS VIDEO IS SO GREAT I NEEDED THIS THANK you !!!!
Glad it helped!
That's great stuff. My Physio showed me most of that stuff and urged me to do it. Honestly though when I get done with a run I'm TIRED. Must do better. Thanks Running Channel.
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing. I’m not a runner and taken on the C25K challenge to aid my recovery 12 weeks after a heart bypass. I already do dynamic and static stretches around each run but have picked up a couple of extra tips here that will help me!
Excellent! Glad you're enjoying the stretches and we hope your recovery goes well! Good luck with C25k 😊
Thanks 🙏, very helpful tips 🏃♂️💪
Really enjoyed that, the end is very interesting to reactivate. I always stretch but hold for a long time which is time consuming and I often feel I lower my heart rate and my muscles too quickly so this is great, thank you. I run 3x a week and have an on going hip injury from a half marathon, my IT band gets tight which leads down to my ankle down outer shin, but after this I feel it has helped a little. Any tips for the IT band would be absolutely great. Look forward to doing the roller video
Thanks for watching Lucy!
Great stuff this. Do you have this as a printed version, like a PDF one could print to have nearby instead of coming to the video. I mean, if the vidoe was the duration as the actual stretching would be I would not ask, I woudl simply watch the video everytime insted.
Great tips which i will try soon. One important thing that helps me, once I've done my slow-down is to lie down with a towel underneath me and a towel on top of my lower body. Right hand rests under my sacrum (palm down) and left arm rests under my neck (palm up) . Slow, deep breathing for a few minutes. Sometimes this will activate a microsleep which i find is very helpful for calming the nervous system. If that arm position is too uncomfortable put right palm on left collar bone/ trap and left palm on right collar bone, make sure arms are relaxed and then, if comfortable cross left ankle over right (alternate this from time to time)
