Stretching helps correct imbalances that develop from using the same muscles consistently over a period of time. Also, stretching can help keep you injury-free \u2013 and may even improve your running performance.<\/p>\n<p>To gain all these benefits, you need to stretch both before and after you run, but with different types of stretches. Before running, you should do dynamic stretches, which increase body heat and blood flow, essentially warming up your muscles. After you run, opt for static stretches, which will help maintain flexibility as you cool down.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to get started?
