The short explanations of James Dunne are just such good insights into what is going on in oneβs body. I do get a left tight calf at times, so I wonder if this exercise regime will fire up my glutes and help my calves in the future to be a bit supported more. Weβll see. Here we go into the second day of reps.

So how have you found this routine? Let us know by reply! Can you feel it in your glutes? If not, where? And what , if anything, are you using to balance yourself?
Hi, just completed the routine (did Day 1 as well). Right ankle a bit wobbly, but managed without holding on to anything. βοΈ just come out so I think a little slow jog now π

Fabulous! Free standing! Iβm not quite there yet! Have fun on your sunny run!
This morning I did Tai Chi, my shoulder exercises, these Day 2 exercises, my pre-run routine, and then a 3.4k fartlek. I was certainly warmed up before I ran!

Fantastic ππ A great pre run routine - mine consists of lots of faffing which includes getting dog organised, checking backpack for doggie bags & treats, finding shoes, filling water bottle etc π€£ At least today I did Day 1&2 of these glute exercises π
Itβs going to be interesting if [when π¬] I keep up with these exercises to see what difference they actually make to my running. At the moment I have simply done more exercise today, so my muscles feel more tired. That βextraβ strength will take time β¦
I am sure the exercises will really help. I just find it so hard to be consistent with strength exercises but 10 mins a day is definitely achievable. Everyone on here will be the motivation to keep going π

Yes, me too. But the one or other exercise βsticksβ. Iβm still doing one of the leg exercises from the 30day James Dunne challenge, having added it to all my post run/row stretch routines. Iβm hoping this one will be added to pre-run routines.
