Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes links to pre and post run stretching.........they are not the same thing.

In my opinion, so long as you do your pre run warm up walk, post run stretching is far more important than pre run. If you stretch immediately after every run, while muscles are still warm and supple, you can pull out any contractions, avoiding carrying them into the next run and improving blood flow which aids recovery and repair.

Enjoy your journey
