Post-run stretching
Running / Popular
Cool down and stretch after a run.
What coaches agree on
- Breathe slowly through each stretch and let your exhale run a little longer than your inhale — that's what actually signals your body to relax and release the muscle.
- Move gently in and out of each stretch with small pulses, rocks, or a few repeated reps to help the muscle release.
Show moreShow less
- Work both sides and notice if one feels tighter than the other — that's useful feedback about asymmetry or an old injury you're carrying.
Common mistakes
- Forcing a stretch to maximum tightness or real pain, rather than easing back to a moderate feeling coaches put at around 7 out of 10.
- Trying to match the presenter's exact depth or shape in a follow-along video instead of stopping where your own body's flexibility allows.
