Yoga for Runners: Pre-Run

I have to admit I land on my but quite a lot doing this class especially when I first tried it but I am thankful to Fiji taking the time to share it with us as it has made a massive difference in my ankles and back while I run allowing me to improve in the sport I'm new to and giving me the energy to lose one more pound so thankyou I can't recommend this class enough

I went into this video just wanting to warm up and prepare for a regular run. By the end of the video in Tadasana, I felt rejuvenated, relaxed, and in a much better mood than when I started. Whatever your intentions were for this video, Fiji, this was a beautiful session that I didn't know I was in much need of. It's moments like these that continue my new burning passion of yoga. Thank you.
Namaste,
Emily

Thank you DYWM for all the "Yoga for runners" videos, they are amazing!
I have a question, though : Do you have a video that targets more particularly the tibialis anterior, peroneal and calf muscles? Mine are always awfully hard/tight and can't seem to relax, running only making it worse (even though I try to stretch religiously).
So I thought maybe you guys would have an answer? :-)
(Since David's video fixed my IT band issue, I turn to DYWM for every sport-induced nagging pain... With much success, I must say!)
Thank you for the great website, and all the best from China!

I have had recurring runner's knee issues for the past 3-4 months. I've tried a number of remedies, from different stretches to heat packs to leg strengthening exercises, and this video is the first thing I've tried that has made an immediate, noticeable difference. I did it in the morning and could already feel its effects; when I went for my evening run, the runner's knee was significantly lessened! I will keep doing this video and others in the series religiously. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My favorite pre run stretch! Can feel a big improvement in my muscles while and after the run!

I never realized how tight my hips were. Thank you so much for this video.

I am a beginner. I'm too heavy and too weak to jog right now, but I try to walk 2 miles per day. I tried to do this video before my walk today but I had to stop a few minutes into it. I'm not that limber, I can't touch my toes with straight legs, I can't do low squats, etc, etc. Perhaps this can be reclassified to Intermediate? I can't imagine too many beginners like me can do these poses and there aren't any suggestions for modifications. It seems like a good video, I hope I'll be able to do it eventually.

Another great session with Fiji! Can't wait to run. Giving me a lot to think about up in the hills. Namaste.

Just came back from an one hour run after having done this pre-run video: neither a twinge nor a tweak, neither a hurt nor a pain. Thank you Fiji McAlpine for these concise and finely tuned asanas. They made my run so much more enjoyable.
