KET Fitness

Stretch in the afternoon prior to the run to loosen up. The warmer the muscles the more effective the stretch. Later in the day the muscles are the warmest. Stretching a cold muscle is like pulling on a rubber band that has been in the freezer for an hour. It has the tendency to break. Same with each muscle. If you run in the morning start easy for a good 10 minutes then pick up the pace. Consider doing your stretching when the run is finished.
