What does everyone do for stretching afterwards? My legs become really stiff and I’m not sure the best way to loosen them?

I walk backwards for a bit to stretch my calves. I usually finish running always from home and by the tim3 I get home I’m stretched. I do a bit of a dance routine stretch too if needs be 😃
