Stretching into shape
October 1, 2002

by Steve Sievert

This feature is a continuation of the "Beginners Beat" column in the October 2002 issue of Runner Triathlete News. To get the full scoop on proper running form, pick up a copy of the October issue of Runner Triathlete News.

To stretch or not to stretch was the question posed in the October installment of Beginners Beat. The story outlined a novel approach to stretching that I'll call "dynamic stretching."

The technique is designed to stretch parts of the lower body that runners typically miss. It also focuses on proper stretching movements.

While stretching promises to provide us with an endless debate in the world of running, one component of stretching that most experts agree on is how to stretch.

Don't stretch cold.

This seems to make a lot of sense to me, and while I don't stretch routinely, when I do, I ensure my muscles are warmed up a bit first.

Let's look at this practically. If muscles are stiff and cold to begin with, launching into an aggressive stretching routine could potentially do more harm than good.

So, if you are about to stretch right before a run, you might think about actually starting with some brisk walking or light jogging. Spend a few minutes warming up the muscles, then get down to the stretching business.

If you are doing some maintenance stretching in the living room or at the gym, shake out your muscles to get the blood flowing or use a little walking as your pre-stretch warm up.
