Ok, so I am all about active dynamic stretching to warm up before a run or before a workout. Whether it be using ropes or through exercise. But post-workout/run what should I be doing? Is post running an appropriate time for static stretching to increase flexibility? Just some thoughts for discussion.
Nice job on the dynamic stretching.
I believe, though this may not be 100%, that as long as you can comfortably stretch past the range of motion that is required by your event, than static stretching is not beneficial and possibly increase the chance of injury.
But if you feel that you are being restricted by lack of flexiblility, then by all means try to increase static stretching. Also make sure you are doing runner specific stretching and are not doing the stretches improperly.
Honestly though I am not a doctor just seems to be what makes sense to me.
For me, keeping up with certain static stretches wards off some injuries. Seems to maintain a (low) level of flexibility rather than increase it, but then we're talking 5 minutes, not an hour+ yoga routine.
I also think a little active stretching before the run helps.
any other thoughts?
