Best Stretches for Runners

Posted January 26, 2012 by Nicole Degner

Ever wonder what stretching is the best for runners? Have you heard of active-isolated stretching?

We like Whartons’ flexibility routine. Basically you use a rope, jump rope or what ever you have to help deepen the stretch. you can check out his introductory flexibility program with basic stretches.

What about common running injuries? Wharton has another great resource to help with common running injuries:

• Achilles
• Soleus
• Glutes
• Inner thigh
• Piiformis
• Lower leg

These are great stretches that will help improve your flexibility, improve your performance and help with injury prevention.
