do you stretch?
I recently started getting really bad knee pain while running and a friend of mine that is a serious runner recommended to me that I stretch more and see if that helps. I am just curious how many people stretch before or after working out.

I'll do some knee circles and hip circles, and a few "big" movements to loosen up my hips (i swing my leg one at a time straight out in front of me). I do all of my static stretching after. HTH!

Re: do you stretch?
I usually only do after. If I am going for like a long 10 mile run, I may stop for a few minutes at mile 5 and stretch but usually dont do anything before.
I have heard it is bad to stretch cold..but i know many do it.

Re: do you stretch?
You should warm-up first, then stretch, then workout, then stretch again.

that's usually what I do.
warm up for 5 minutes, stretch, then I stretch after my run...

Re: do you stretch?
I use to never stretch but then I also got knee pain which was from only strenghting my calves and not my quads. so that being said the dr told me I need to stretch before and after. (my stretches work both the calves and quads)
