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, as recommended in the guide to the plan.
Many people do not hold their stretches for long enough or put enough effort in. Hold post run stretches for 30 seconds and make sure the pull is strong enough to be on the verge of discomfort.

Well done!!! At least the rain would be cooling after all this heat. I’m still talking myself into going out 😱😱. I’ve had a couple of days off and I think it’s been too long. I’m better just keeping and going. I am aiming to go out later though - might bring my personal trainer with me if I can get him away from his PS4 hahahahaha
