Best stretches for runners
The do’s and don’ts of stretching:
- Don’t stretch cold muscles. It is far better to stretch after a run than before.
- Do stretch lightly before speed work, after a 10-minute warm-up jog.
- Ease into each stretch; don’t bounce or force it.
- Before speed work, hold each stretch for 10-15 seconds.
- After a run, hold each stretch for 30 seconds; repeat once or twice on each leg.
