    This one calls for a stretching vs no stretching video 😊
  • @lisapet160
    Flexibility/mobility is the most neglected fitness category. Thank you for the video, and waiting for more content on this topic, not just related to pre and post run routines. Shoulder mobility indeed, as it was mentioned here, improves your breathing efficacy, not just posture.
  • @reieli87
    Can I suggest to GTN editing team, - on the top left side of the video, place the name of location of where there being filmed. Always absolutely beautiful locations - have no idea where it is 😅 Favorite cooldown stretch - I don't know this is the actual name of the stretch "greatest stretch in the world" 😅 deep lung reach opposite hand reaches below and through the bent leg and reverse back and twist and reach hand to the sky.. Keep up the great content I always enjoy running advice slow becoming a triathlete 😅 (just started biking for 1 month 1x week its been a game changed)
  • @jlore6344
    These are great. I did not know what to do after running, so I will now do these. I actually saw this video right after returning from a 10 mile run. So I did these and now feel pretty good. Thanks!
  • @BethanyBlount
    Dynamic stretches feel so much better on the joints and muscles, especially after a tough workout.
  • @snuffbox2006
    Great ideas and well presented. GTN is tops, “all stuff no fluff”. Others would have made this video 26 minutes.
  • @loulew07
    Use stick before . Slow warm up jog, then warm up walk, then run workout , then slow down jog , then warm down walk. Use stick after . Been running since 1985 and healthy and injury free at 66 yrs young
  • @jassaljs
    Very helpful! Thanks for sharing🤗
  • @jamiefuhrman403
    Didn't know the bit about shifting the knee to target the lower calf - thanks!
  • GTN: Hey boss, we need to go to a beach in Greece to film this video. Boss: Can it be filmed somewhere closer? GTN: Absolutely not.
  • @jasonree
    Awesome! Definitely will use these, especially shoulders as so often neglected!!
  • @TimothyBuerki
    Excellent videography, nice presentation, short and to the point. Well-done, by the way, where was this recorded? Looks breathtaking, specially the view of the bay.
  • Thanks guys. My legs are always awful after a run (mainly because I'm a terrible runner), and I've been trying to get some decent post run stretches.
  • @SBoots29
    Those are stretches I do but my favorite is go to High plank, bring right foot to right hand area (outside position) and plant your foot there. Of course repeat for other side.

    When I was young I always stretched after runs but now, aged 58, I only do a couple of very light calf and hamstring stretches and no static stretches at all. I suppose the 'elastic bands' get less elastic as we age and if not careful nasty things can happen.
