Stretches

I keep being told in the app whilst running to head over to the discover section & find the stretches to do before & after a run, can’t find them anywhere in the discover section of the app or anywhere else in the app. Can anyone guide me as to where the stretches video is please.

Hi, you will find both the 'Static' and the 'Dynamic' stretches ln the program guide here .healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

Important:

'Dynamic' for pre run and 'Static' for post run

Hi @Peroni_51, just in case you haven't already looked at it, there's also lots of other useful information in the C25K programme guide, not just the stretches! Worth a read. Enjoy C25K!

Actually, I prefer the old set of after-run exercises that had been on the NHS website. The new ones aren't anywhere near as good. (Along with a lot of other pruning that section of the website has had in the last year.)
