PH, I don't usually stretch much before the run, but I do walk for about 5 minutes to warm up and another 5 minutes to cool down afterwards. After the run is when I do my stretching.

Here are some tips:

I have trouble with my heel and calves, so I make sure to stretch them well. It's so, so important to stretch. Even your shoulders and back.

I've also found that I do so much better when I strength train a couple of days a week.

Good luck !
