I've been looking at stretches recommended after running. Although I always stretch I don't enjoy stretching the "traditional" way and think perhaps yoga could do the trick?
For those of you out there who are more experienced stretch wise, what do you think of this post run yoga routine? In your opinion is it sufficient?
These are good, however I'd advise anyone who doesn't do yoga to take care not to overdo the stretches.
I need to spend a fair bit of time doing stretches after my run. My routine when I get in, is I stand about in my kitchen doing the traditional stretches - holding onto the worktops and drinking a glass of water and making a cuppa while I stretch.
Then tea over, I go through to my yoga mat, where the first pose I do is Reclined Big Toe pose: yogajournal.com/poses/483 (like number 1 in the previous list) for the hamstrings.
I'll then do Downward Facing Dog, and Runner's Lunge's as in your video.
Pigeon Pose is a great pose to do (super for the muscles attached to the IT band and one I've practised a LOT recently), but it's an intense pose and I need to do other hip stretches first.
