It becomes unhygienic and would also promote unproductive sex.
You would not want to sit on the same seat as someone who had their bare butt on it.

Non-stretchers always looking for attention....
Love me a good stretch.
How about this... I ALWAYS stop about 10 minutes into my run to do dynamics and then some static stretching (on tight spots). Form gets better, body feels smoother, pace increases.
Sometimes, I'll even take a nice warm bath, and then get a major static stretching session on. LOVE feeling loosey goosey.
Carry on, no-stretchers ;)
One time I didn't stretch before a race and I ran super fast, thread over suckaz

People stretch less than they used to. This is all in your fairyland head.
Agree. This guy doesn't have a clue. I remember back in the 80's there was only static stretching and lots of it. Now it is generally accepted it is only beneficial at the end of a workout . And among the runners it has been replaced almost entirely by dynamic stretching (unless you are a sprinter, who does a lot of both). The few guys who continue to do static are mostly joggers, and not that many of them.
I dunno how(or why) you made a deep fake of Eliud stretching. Very weird
Popular or Unpopular opinion, I don't care. Stretching is emphasized WAY TOO much nowadays! And also, I don't care if you disagree with me here but it does potentially cause injury. And I speak to those that are active and not sitting on there ass all day because their bodies are probably already just fine and stretched out. Why stretch more? That's where the body gets overstretched and that's where things happens. I'm 30 years old and I stretch less NOW than I did in high school. I've run more mileage, more intensity, and faster PRs than I did in high school. The result: I had injuries when I was younger versus today... I have had zero, nothing nagging at me, and my body feels much more resilient and stronger than it ever did.
Stretching has its place for some, especially those that sit a lot daily, but for those that are on their feet a lot daily, it's creates excess and is the real OVERUSE injury factor. It's useless and often times detrimental.

Genuinely confused. Are you really surprised that lots of elites static stretch after runs? (Not before as I gather)
I only pointed to and gave evidence of Kipchoge as he strikes me as one of the most consistent runners the Marathon has ever seen.
Many elites (as we’ve seen recently) get injured on their journey to the start line or even during. I’m sure Kipchoge does it for a reason.
Arthur Lydiard used to recomment "loosening and suppling" stretching. But he got so sick of people asking if it would make them a champion runner. At one running seminar he got angry and said to the effect: No, it won't make you a champion runner unless you train very hard in the proper way.
In other words lots of aerobic miles and eventually intervals, hills and racing are what really matters.
You’re talking to a slow guy.
