Missed post-run stretches

[Vragtes]

I am currently on a post Covid recovery period and am running 5-8km three times a week. This morning, I had to deal with something which meant that after my morning run of 6.5k I wasn’t able to do my post run stretches and exercises.

Now I’ve fully cooled down, showered etc. and was wondering whether to try and do some exercises later after a warm-up or just leave it and carry on and do them as normal after Wednesday morning’s run? I have a day of rest netween runs.

I think it would be great opportunity to do a gentle Yoga workout, which gently works on your mobility and flexibility (and a bit of strength, as well).

I have found Yoga immensely beneficial for my flexibility needs.

We have a monthly virtual mat at healthunlocked.com/strength...

But maybe yesterday’s practice from above calendar is a great little one to experience?

And there is also one dedicated for post-run mobility:

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply and for the yoga link. I’ll give this a try.

I agree totally with CBDB ! Yoga is brilliant for complementing running. I often do the post run 7 minute workout.

Thank you MissUnderstanding. I’ll definitely give the post work-out yoga session a try.

Something gentle, I'd suggest. Sometimes recently I don't stretch but have a good soak in a warm bath instead.
