Got a niggle that just won’t go away?
When was the last time you went for a run and nothing hurt?
If you’re like most runners, your body is probably tighter and stiffer than you realise. Running is repetitive and high-impact — and over time it takes a toll on your lower back, hips, knees, and ankles… unless you do something about it.
That’s where this 3-minute daily stretch routine comes in.
Quick. Targeted. Effective.
Designed by a physio and ultra-runner, this video covers the essential muscles and joints that runners need to release:
✅ Lower back and glutes
✅ Hips & hamstrings
✅ Quads, calves and ankles
It’s only 3 minutes — and it might be the best 3 minutes you invest in your running each day.
Make it a ritual. Start loosening tight joints and moving more freely with every run.
🧠 Runners Don’t Just Need Flexibility — You Need Stability
Tightness is one thing, but lack of stability is the real hidden danger.
Most running injuries I see aren’t from weakness — they’re from poor stability.
Take this simple 1-minute test and see how stable your hips really are.
