Thank you James. My friend and I are in our late 60's and train together twice a week. We began to do your stretches after every run and we are thrilled with the results. If you decide to add any more stretches to this series we'll do them too!
Having had many failed attempts to get back into running, they failed as i didnt warm up didnt cool down at all, this time i have started the warm up routine and cool down and this evening just finished my first ten k in a few years, thanks James!!
@@JamesDunne I will do. I run and do martial arts and unless I really focus, my hip flexor flexibility isn't great, which can limit the height of some of my kicks. I am really looking forward to including that one, as it looks like a more comfortable stretch
Thanks James , I'm 67 and training for the Vancouver marathon in May .Have subscribed and started using your stretching program. Really helpful. Thank you.
This series of stretches felt great. Thanks for a succinct list of stretches that feels doable and not overwhelming. Also, a couple of years ago I started finishing my runs with 5 to 10 minutes of walking and it’s made a huge difference in how I feel post run. Nice to know someone else feels similarly.
Thanks! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the stretch routine! Yeah, taking time to walk for a few minutes at the end of a run, rather than running all the way to the front door makes such a big difference for me. Glad you agree!
Some days ago I found your video for warm up before the run and I loved it so I did it again. But I wasn't happy with the stretch last time. Now I found this and I think I have my routine. Your warm up, my run, your cool down. Thank you so so much it felt really good :)
I recently started running and when I first started I was really struggling with recovery, as I wasn't doing warm-ups or stretches. I found your videos (both pre-running and post-running) and have been able to recover the same day! Thank you for the useful and quick info in your videos! (That glute flex does wonders)
Just stumbled on this video and I love it. I’m a terrible runner and I’m trying to get better, your videos have definitely helped me along my training journey. Thank you!
I’ve been recently going to physio because I’ve been feeling lots of cramps and stiffness in my calves and hamstrings. Was told that I didn’t particularly pay great attention to a proper warmup and cooldown. I’ve been doing both your warmup and cooldown routines for the last week and the recovery has been unbelievable. I feel much better on a run and wake up the next day not feeling sore. Thank you so much for sharing, crazy what 5 minutes can do!
Thank you so much James for sharing pre and post workout stretches.I was searching from long time and today I did your workouts.All the stretches are wonderful ❤Thanks for sharing 🙏
So TRUE!!! JUST what we need James, thank you so much!!! This is so quick and easy that there is really NO excuse not to quickly do it after a run! As usual the little tips make such a world of difference and I really feel the benefits already! You are a savior for us elite joggers!!!!
Have been having problems with my hip flexors since lockdown from sitting down so much. My quads have then been tensing up and my knees then get painful from running. This and the warm up you did are soooooo so helpful and make a huge difference
I'm trying to do couch to 5k again, I just did your warmup video then this one afterwards, I hope these will help prevent me getting an injury like last time. Also I feel much better afterwards than I did last week when I didn't do these. So thank you, I will continue to use these.
Hi James, I used to have knee problems when Running, but doing your pre and after stretches I’ve had no problems , so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ✨👏👍
Hi James! I really appreciate you putting this video together! I felt so tight especially in my lower back after my 7 miler this morning so I know I need to incorporate these moves ASAP!
I used to just do some stretches but nothing has cooled me down quite like this set. Thank you James, this is gonna be a permanent part of my routine ❤
Great advice, cool down is always low down on the list post run. I try and find exercises I can do post run and when I get to my desk, usually still cooling down, like some of the sitting exercises. Thanks, book marked!
Thanks James. I have been doing these exercises along with your warm up and strength exercise for the last three weeks and I am genuinely feeling a marked improvement in my running. Cheers for the videos.
few year late to this vid but just found it. really good sequence. i struggle with stretching but found this easy to follow and could actually feel a conformable stretch were the instructor described! thanks James
Very nice video, you’ve covered all the important muscles and managed to keep the routine short and concise...going to try this starting from tomorrow’s run
training to reach a sub 10 minute mile as a part of the requirements for earning my taekwondo black belt in a few months, realized i started to develop shin splints and am using your pre and post run stretches to try to avoid injury while still being able to train
I’m new to your channel and have really enjoyed your videos. That seated stretch where you cross your leg and twist your body is a killer. I can barely get my leg into the right position.
@@JamesDunne I am 63 years old but some of your exercises are very useful for me and i always watch your videos , I appreciate for your efforts , thank you again greetings from Iran
Coupled with your warm up this has transformed my enjoyment of cycling. (Yep, cycling, not running) After years of next day discomfort I’ve finally got a set of stretches that almost eliminates those joint and muscle aches. Thanks kind Sir, you rule! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
All i would say james is if theres no box, adapt these to sitting on the floor, work well too. Anything for calfs, maybe point and dorsiflex foot whilst doing hamstring stretch..? Good for Achillies tendon.. For me i'd have a neck stretch in there and i like arm circles as it helps lactic acid through axillary lymph armpit disperse. Love childpose at the end, good to relax the body, good for breathing, you can mention the yoga names as some are familiar, anyway ha. ..just the cobra stretch the spine takes alot when running- hugging knees in chest ricking side to side is this good for spine after a run?xx
If I am doing some post running exercise like jumping jacks, push ups, lunges, squats, crunches , plank - should I do it before this cool down exercises or after this cool down exercises ?
I want to include weight training into my routine. Running is still my priority. So should I run first, cool down and then do weightlifting or run, lift and the do cool down?

shin splints?
This has been my GO TO cool down for two years and it’s never let me down. Thank you James. You’re amazing.
Why does this video not get a million views ? This dude is one of the best on UA-cam. And I watch hours and hours of UA-cam e everyday! Thanks James!
That hip flexor stretch looks awesome and I like the idea of the hamstring stretch.
Thanks, Danny! Give it a try and let me know how you get on :)

Thx James! This is an excellent cooldown routine.
Thanks for the focus on the back. That’s my weakness and I have never seen that included on cool down routines in the past.
Been doing this cooldown and one of your injury free videos for about 2 weeks now, I've definitely noticed a difference!
Just stumbled on this video and I love it. I’m a terrible runner and I’m trying to get better, your videos have definitely helped me along my training journey. Thank you!
Thank you for the Hip Flexor Stretch! I have not seen it done this way and can already tell it is helping.
Your a legend, this was such a nice chilled stretch after a intense 5K run

I did this once after my run and i strongly recommend it. After a few hours, i could not feel any pain at all. Thank you for showing us
Thank you James! This cool down routine is extremely good it makes such a difference for my run recovery!
This has always been my go to video for cooling down after running and for training in the eye staring contest. Thanks James!
I'm trying to do couch to 5k again, I just did your warmup video then this one afterwards, I hope these will help prevent me getting an injury like last time. Also I feel much better afterwards than I did last week when I didn't do these. So thank you, I will continue to use these.
Pleased to hear you're using the routines to help with your C25K programme! Good luck :)
@@JamesDunne thank you!
what injury did u get?
Thank you so much. I do this and the warm up video before and after every run.
This is an amazing video! I usually hate stretching and find stretch guides boring but this was actually quite fun and effective. Thank you so much!
Lovely streches i thank you especilly for the calf strech
Hi James, I used to have knee problems when Running, but doing your pre and after stretches I’ve had no problems , so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ✨👏👍

No problem! Pleased to hear they’re making a difference!
Your warm up and cool down is the best for beginners!👌
Very useful tips on the hamstring stretch.. been using this cool down sequence for a couple of days now and has certainly made a lot of difference
I used to just do some stretches but nothing has cooled me down quite like this set. Thank you James, this is gonna be a permanent part of my routine ❤
Using your before and after run stretches. Thankyou
Really enjoyed that one, got my back cracking after a 10 k run. Thank you!
Lessons learned and hopefully kept.
It couldn't have arrived at any better time. Thanks
Great advice, cool down is always low down on the list post run. I try and find exercises I can do post run and when I get to my desk, usually still cooling down, like some of the sitting exercises. Thanks, book marked!
Really helpful to focus on proper technique - pain does not equate to a good stretch !
Glad you agree, John! Hope the routine helps!
Thank you
Thank U James, useful and ready to use stretching package. As usual !
No problem, Pierre! Hope it helps your running 🏃🏻♂️💪
Thanks James. I have been doing these exercises along with your warm up and strength exercise for the last three weeks and I am genuinely feeling a marked improvement in my running. Cheers for the videos.

Awesome many thanks just started running and this has really helped 😊❤

I like your recommendations no frills total practical
Thanks! Hope it helps 😃 Glad you enjoyed the video!
Quality cool down thanks

I just finished 5*800 (5:30/km) interval and doing this cool down, it felt great.
Lovely! I did book marked this video. Thank you for the great video on post run stretches!

Thank you James,
Thank you! Very well done!! Most effective!!!
NICE VIDEO JAMES DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VIDEOS .NEW IDEAS ALWAYS APPRECIATED.
Thanks, Stephen! Hope you find the routine helpful :)
That was great.
I'm gonna check your channel to see if you have any cool down post leg training routines
Thanks so much really good video and I'm defo saving for my next run :)
Coupled with your warm up this has transformed my enjoyment of cycling. (Yep, cycling, not running)

Thanks kind Sir, you rule! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing this great video.
No problem Dave! Hope it helps.
This is awesome I’ve always overlooked glutes, hip flexor and back. Although surprised it doesn’t include any calf stretches
I almost every time after a run do this stretches with you, love the video
Great combo of these!
That was great! Thank you!!
Thank you.
That piriformis stretch is a game changer 👍👍
You’re a legend mate
Thank you James, fantabulous!
How about the calf muscle. Awesome stretches.
Thanks! You should get a good calf stretch in the rear leg of the hip flexor stretch. Two-in-one there!
Sounds awesome, definitely i m gona do it.yeeaahh
Thank you so much!!!
Your page is great mate .
This felt so nice and so right! Thank you!
Very good one
I will repeat it every time i return from jogging
Thanks
Great video, a follow along style with timer would have been even better 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, thanks
My god! This is so great! Thank you man!!
It worked ❤. TQ so much
For a day how many times we should do this.
Befor run or after run.
Super nice! Love the seated spinal twist! TY
thanks!
All i would say james is if theres no box, adapt these to sitting on the floor, work well too.
Anything for calfs, maybe point and dorsiflex foot whilst doing hamstring stretch..? Good for Achillies tendon..
For me i'd have a neck stretch in there and i like arm circles as it helps lactic acid through axillary lymph armpit disperse. Love childpose at the end, good to relax the body, good for breathing, you can mention the yoga names as some are familiar, anyway ha.
..just the cobra stretch the spine takes alot when running- hugging knees in chest ricking side to side is this good for spine after a run?xx
That was excellent!
If I am doing some post running exercise like jumping jacks, push ups, lunges, squats, crunches , plank - should I do it before this cool down exercises or after this cool down exercises ?
Before
Brilliant james 😊❤
Thank you sir 🙏
thanks and nice tee shirt: where can I buy it?
I want to include weight training into my routine. Running is still my priority. So should I run first, cool down and then do weightlifting or run, lift and the do cool down?
Thankyou
I literally cannot thank you enough
🙏
