LAST OF THE BASICS....

>STRETCH<

After any run/workout you need to hold-stretch. This helps the muscles recover faster, and not be quite as sore as they would be without stretching. What is hold-stretching? The stuff you learned in high school! Touch your toes for 30 seconds, try to do the splits for 30 seconds....etc. You need to hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds. If it was a big workout/run, then hold for longer. Stretching can get complicated, but do the simple ones we all know, and I also invite any of you to come take a stretch class at GREENASIUM FITNESS. Located in Encinitas, CA each class is only $15. This class covers stretches for the whole body.

  1. Do you know how long it's been since high school gym class??? Good tips, thanks! BTW, scared of clowns. I would run super fast if one was chasing me, but I would also scream the entire way and would most likely pass out before the finish line.
