I think I might need to work more on my stretching as I start running for longer! Does anyone have any links or anything for how to stretch properly?
Thank you!

Place your right foot on the lowest step, and your left foot on the next step up. Move your right heel so that it’s hanging off the step, and drop it until you feel a deep stretch in the “belly” of your large (the one that’s visible) calf muscle. Hold for at least 30 seconds, breathing smoothly, and concentrating on feeling the muscle relax and elongate. Repeat on the left side.
This one is good for me always used to get very tight calves when I run and this helps
There are some warm up and warm down exercises at nhs.uk/LiveWell/Fitness/Pag... - I hope that web address works ok as it tried to post it a minute ago and it didn't work!
