Hamstring and ITB stretches every day.
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
what’s considered flexible? hands on the floor with straight legs?
legs behind head
Always post-run. If I do stretch pre-run, it doesn't work. My muscles need to be warmed up first.
Mainly post run. I've tried to keep pre-run 'stretching' to dynamic, but have found that a few light ham stretches help me a lot.Originally Posted by SEFTON
Post run, I stretch quads, ITB, calves, hamstrings, and the calf/achilles exercises focussing on dorsiflexion of the foot.
Be Humble. Sit Down.
Everytime I have been to the physio when injured.
Not a big believer in stretching.
Dynamic stretching pre run, the usual post run and then a few more throughout the day if my muscles are feeling tight
"That was the night everything changed"
Not often enough
Hardly ever this year
Frequent but moderate workouts on a consistent basis are the key to success
Very, very infrequently. I stretch when I feel like I need it.
I think that opening the joints is better pre run, ankle rolls, hip circles etc, etc. I usually do these before a long run.
