Tight hamstrings. Stiff hips. Sore calves. 🙋
Stretching is one of the easiest ways to take care of your body on race training days, and timing matters:
BEFORE you run: Keep it dynamic. Leg swings, walking lunges, high knees, and butt kicks for 5-10 minutes get your muscles warm and ready to go.
AFTER you run: Walk for a few minutes to cool down, then hold each stretch for 20-30 seconds. Focus on quads, hamstrings, calves, and hip flexors.
Listen to your body and stretch gently, never to the point of pain. 💙
Thanks to our presenting sponsor, Baylor Scott & White, for helping keep Cowtown runners healthy, strong, and moving.

Training tip: the biggest mistake in an early training block is doing too much too soon. Build mileage gradually, add one easy run, and keep one rest day a week. Your February self will thank you. 🙌
