I don't stretch on rest days, only immediately after a run when my muscles are warm. I've never had muscle stiffness the day after a run because of this.

Only in my bed before I get up and at the gym usually at the end of a class

I only stretch after running now, otherwise I'm so achey the next day that I find it hard to function! I might try swimming on my rest days instead, something low impact.
This me for your replies, guys. I hadn't been stretching at all up until the last few runs. Definitely need it now I'm doing longer runs.
