As an idiot and novice runner, I have been kind of winging it with stretching (aka, making up my own stupid stretches) and I have only been stretching before running.
The C25K people just posted this video on Facebook -- ladies, I know you both follow C25K on Facebook, but just in case you missed it. I think it'll help me a bunch. Apparantly it's more important to stretch after running than before. Who knew? (Most likely, everyone but me.)

Ok, I was doing most of these, but the hip one was AMAZING. I hadn't watched the video, so THANKS WIFE! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI *so* need stretching advice - my knee has been all wonky for 2 days and I know its due to my random self-invented strech regime.
ReplyDeleteMy upper butt currently hurts. Or it's more like my lower back meets my butt. Where the fuck is the stretch for THAT?
ReplyDeleteYoga. Try blying on your back, and then hugging your legs to your chest and rocking side to side, and rotating your knees in the bent position. It will help a bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you up to "rotating your knees in the bent position." wtf is that? haha. I will try it, though.
