I'm a Runner, and These Are the Stretching Videos I Turn to For a Relaxing Recovery

As someone who loves running and looks forward to morning jogs and sunset sprints, I've come to realise that having a stretching routine is crucial for recovery. When I stretch, I'm barely ever sore the next day, and it helps me take a breath and relax after high-impact exercise. Just as running works to still the mind through speed and intensity, a stretching routine will calm you in the inverse way, bringing you back to centre while helping your body remain limber. If you haven't been as good about stretching after running as you'd like to be and could use some guidance to keep you motivated, keep reading to find my favourite videos for maximum agility and flexibility.
