In this episode, I mention the concept of how to stretch before running. To which, I would say that the more helpful concept might be "warming up" rather than "stretching".

That being said, there are a LOT of dynamic warmup movements that runners can do before they run. Below are a few links to give you some ideas on dynamic movements you can do before running. Different stretches have different levels of effectiveness for different runners, so feel free to experiment and build your personalized and most ideal pre-run warmup routine!

There are MANY more dynamic warmup movements beyond what is shown in the above videos, so feel free to search for something like "dynamic stretching for runners".

Remember, the purpose of your pre-run warmup routine is to prevent injury and to get you loose enough to have a meaningful run/workout! Happy running, my friends!
