I don't get it, are you trying to improve running fitness, or trying to improve flexibility? Of course static stretching improves flexibility, the OP's point is flexibility doesn't help running and is thus a waste of time. Of course the "all stretching is a waste of time" was probably intentionally a blanket statement that he put out there just to get attention, not something anybody agrees with.
So range of motion plays no role in running? My speed would be the same with a 12" stride as it would with a 60" stride?
