As the title really- honestly, how much do you stretch after running? What do you do? I've been chastised by my massage therapist today for not stretching enough, and I agree I probably don't. But how much is really necessary? My massage was excruciating today, my calves are very tight and gradually as the the months go on and my training increases I am feeling more and more of the creeping body rot take over me (I lie in bed wondering which bit is going to creak most when I get up)
I know I am skating on thin ice with regards to injury so I really want to incorporate a decent stretching regime into my training.
I tend to do a quite cursory stretch after each run, and once a week or so I do a specific runners yoga on YouTube.
I bought a foam roller today- does anyone use these?
