Stretches

How long do people spend on stretches after a run. I am new to running and want to make sure I do the right thing.

I do ten minutes. But recently started trying to do back and hip specific stretching every day as everything is hurting at the moment 😂

Are there programmes to show you which stretches?

[Pippatong in reply to Hidden]

The nhs have a page. If you type in nhs running stretches I think you’ll find it.

We recommend these in the FAQ guide... they work really well and many, many of the seasoned Graduates use them still

Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan hopefully answers most of your questions healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

I actually hold stretches for 30 seconds, rather than the 20 suggested in the link in the guide.
