#2: Stretch

Stretching can be one of the most beneficial things to incorporate into your post run routine.

• Prevent Injuries  – Some of the most common injuries happen in conjunction with the knees and ankles – both of which can be prevented with some regular stretching.
• It’s no secret muscles need to be warmed up before physical activity, but the reasons behind it are that stretching improves muscle flexibility and helps prepare them for the workload they’re about to take on.

Static stretches are the way to go post-run. Focus the main chunk of your stretching routine on your legs.
