Stretching

Per Pat's great instruction, I have been stretching after each run and calisthenics.
  • Are any of you stretching anything prior to your runs?
  • What particular stretching are you doing during these pre-run times?
  • What stretching are you doing post run?
I have been stretching via the following methods
  1. hands against wall, lunge forward with one leg back and one leg about half way to the wall, back knee straight. Stretch the calf.
  2. hands against wall, lunge forward with one leg back and one leg about half way to the wall, back knee bent as far as I can.
  3. Leg up on chair or car bumper for hamstring stretch
  4. Sit on floor with one leg forward for hamstring stretch
  5. One leg over the opposite knee of straight leg and pull knee to chest for ATB stretch
  6. feet together in butterfly position for groin stretch.
These are all post run, post workout stretches.
