Get in touch with Coach Sher!

 Today's discussion is a dive into stretching's role in running.  We tackle the stretching dilemma, armed with research and my own coaching insights.  I talk about the shift from static to dynamic stretches, the surprising truths about injury prevention, and the potential drawbacks of overstretching.

 While I do recognize the place for static stretches, particularly for addressing post-run issues, the emphasis is firmly on dynamic movements as part of your pre-run ritual.
