Forums >General Running>Post-run routine
I suck at stretching.
Sometimes I do a few stretches after a run, but it is very inconsistent and I usually find myself copying other people. I think what I need is a routine -- something I can follow until it becomes a habit.
What do you guys do? Do you have a routine that is consistent enough to jot down and share?

Protein drink, other necessary amount of liquids, glycogen replacement breakfast, and log the run on RA to ensure I get the full benefit of the workout.

I only stretch what feels tight. Not sure if there's any real benefit to it, other than it feels good.
Breakfast...or second breakfast. Log entirely too much data on RA

Ok, I have had the protein shake and RA logging down. Maybe I am good then

If you have lots of aches or muscle tightness issues like I do, you can choose to do many exercises.

+1 I do this to and It seems to help. I had calf and LT band issues and I am hoping that this routine will help.

I try to stretch after every run, I have a repertoire of yoga moves I enjoy and I pick and choose, I get bored if I try to do the same thing all the time. If I am in a hurry I use a yoga strap to stretch out my hips and hamstrings. Then I eat some breakfast and call it good. But, I'm not training for anything in particular at the moment.
