MODERATORS
I run a lot and was stupidly adamant against stretching because I injured myself doing it before a run like 10 years ago.
Last year I started getting pain from tight muscles at the end of my range of motion. I started stretching at the end of my runs, while my muscles are still warmed up, and it's been amazing. No more pain, no injuries, less soreness, and I feel faster.
Yoga is the only reason I managed to punish my body as much as I could while running. Downside of this flexibility is I ripped another set of pants.
