Done ! Well it was done yesterday afternoon. And boy were my legs still 'done' this morning when I got up. Creaking knees and aching ankles. My age ? The run ? Both ! Loosened up as the morning wore on but the stairs were interesting for a while. Now I know the creaking half way up is the stair itself...the rest of them definitely my knees 😅

Well done.

Stretching immediately after every run, nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h... while muscles are still warm and supple, pulls out contractions, avoiding carrying tensions into the next run and also improves recovery by improving blood flow.
